An occasional series based on my Tuesday morning presentation updates at work:
The words Ordinary Things flicker on a grey screen.
The Diary of Horace Wimp by the Electric Light Orchestra plays in the background.
Cut to a bed in an untidy bedroom.
A figure is under the covers.
An angry voice penetrates the silence.
‘Eleven. Eleven. Eleven!’
The figure in the bed stirs.
The angry voice continues.
‘Eleven. It’s eleven. Get up you lazy bastard. The bins need emptying.’
A man emerges from under the covers.
He is bearded, has aquiline features and wears glasses.
He has the torso of a prize fighter and the looks of a male model.
He is the sort of man that women want and men admire.
In the interests of balance, men can want him and women can admire him as well.
He looks at his watch.
‘Shit. Overslept again.’
Titles.
End.
