The day.

It started out like any other day. Well that's a lie, the alarm didn't go off and the milk was off so no
cereal.

It almost started out like any other day. Except the wind blew a sheet off the shed, and the door bell
got stuck into the on position, and after fifteen minutes of work, and a stiffling of the impulse to take
a sledgehammer to it, the batteries were carefully removed and it was set aside for later study.

It could have started out like any other day. If the toilet roll hadn't been hanging empty next to the
dunny, and the washing hadn't blown over in the neighbor's yard where the rather large dog, had done
unspeakable things to the underware before ripping it to shreds.

It might have started out like any other day. If the bathroom light hadn't short circuited, and sent
a low charge running through the water fittings. Or if the fridge hadn't stopped working because of
the faulty light circuit. Thus destroying the rest of the frozen dinners stored in the freezer, which
leaked all over the floor and into the carpet of the dining room.

Possibly it didn't start out like any other day. When the tiles fell of the walls in the bathroom, because
they hadn't been set properly, and moisture had leaked behind and rotted the timbers. The bedroom
window breaking when a branch smashed through it was a dead giveaway by this point that something
was amiss.

In fact it didn't start out like any other day. Because as the tiles gave way he sneezed from the dusty
mortar before he could remove the razor he was shaving himself with in the partial light given through
the window, as the light was out, thus removing a sizable chunk off the tip of his nose.

Lying in bed that night the wind whistling in, his nose bandaged, he wished it had started out like
any other day.

Ohhh Crap! I love it, don't we all feel like we have days like this?!
