Sandy vs. The Electric Company

Friday, January 5th, 2007

It was about three o’clock in the afternoon when I decided to start a new story. After finishing one last night, I had let myself slide this morning. My heart froze when my computer didn’t respond to being plugged in. But then neither did the lamp. I’ve grown used to my water being turned off at odd times since construction began on The Great Wall of Thailand, so I figured this was related.

I have so far avoided talking to the workmen. This accounts for their surprise when I walked out into the yard and greeted them, “Sawadee kah.” “Sawadee krap,” they returned, looking at me like I’d just sprouted an extra arm or two. I held up the lamp for their inspection. “Beautiful,” one of the men said, smiling at me. I looked at the lamp. Well, I thought, it’s just an ordinary desk lamp but it is quite a nice color, isn’t it? Then I realized he wasn’t talking about the lamp, of course. I ignored him and held up the plug, pretended to plug it in a few times, then sort of shook the lamp in their direction, in a gesture I hoped would say, “Turn my goddamn electricity back on or else.”
