The following morning

I guess I can just call them. Proclaim temporary insanity. Tell them everything. Present e-v-e-r-y little detail.

Tell them I was desperate.

Short of money.

Tell them there`s a fine line between madness and brilliancy.

Everyone knows.

Or maybe I should use my business- voice. Be dead serious. No laughing, whatsoever. And really, there`s nothing funny about it. And I`ll ask, rather casually, about right-of- withdrawal- forms. Well…, I think there`s supposed to be some forms, right? A two- week period or something. Ring any bells, does it?

Also, I`m doing this within the most reasonable time- frame. Clearly.

What a good girl.

Such a treat having customers like this.

These organized and together people.

Everything done deliberately.

Consciously.

I can do that. Absolutely. I`ve done it before.

I know that game.

A few well- chosen words, while my heart is beating fast. Heartbeat no one will register.

Supposing women like this don`t really need cooling- off a contract, they`ll see right through me.

Maybe I should go see the doctor anyway.

Act hysterical.

Get a medical certificate stating that I used every penny, – on dresses.

It`s hardly normal.

Even I would proscribe certificates, then.

If I`m lucky, female hysteria as a diagnosis still exists.

      «Hysterical woman lost it

bought a great amount of dresses”

I can easily picture it. And really, this was what happened.

Evidently, this will happen next; medical certificate and express post to Zalando.

And a short stay at a spa.

I break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. My Toyota Corolla rebirth into a pile of tulle. No, I didn`t see it coming. However, it was some great tulle. Beautiful colors and everything.

I mean, if not. It will always work out, one way or the other. Then, if I have to, I`ll have a go with markers and posters then. No worries.

 «DRESSES, OVER HERE!!».

All over the neighbourhood.

Arrows on the ground.

In the grass.

On sidewalks.

This way. That way.

Don`t give up, you`re almost there!

I`m sure it will work out just fine.

All I have to do is tell my mum I exaggerated. When I wrote that half the amount was spent on dresses. I`ll tell her it was an exaggeration, solemnly done for the sake of art.

Obviously.

I mean. Give me a break.

I`m not a complete fuckup.
