36


Red nail varnish on plump toes.

Janet is wearing a white patterned dress, inside of which every sizable curve and crease is painfully visible. I take another biscuit like a good boy and smile. It’s a poor, unconvincing effort. Janet hustles on back to her desk and necks a few pills, HRT to bump up her falling oestrogen and keep her blooming. She fans herself with her hand; the open window and two electric fans fail to ventilate her.
A thousand gallons of water couldn’t cool that ruddy warm mask.
