As she stumbled through what felt to be a doorway, the stench of joop cologne lingered in the air. Through her blurred peripheral, she notices a tall, brooding shadow, just feet away from her. In her panic, she trips over a box, and lands on a futon. As she desperately tries to catch her breath but to not breathe too loud, thoughts of survival or lack there of swarm through her head.

Assignment: The tea kettle that whistled….
The aroma of good cooking hit Della as soon as the elevator opened on the ninth floor. She was looking forward to the meal more than the family night gathering, but obligation forced her to be there. As usual, she was late, but she happily greeted her big brother Eddie, her sister Trisha and her parents Mary and Eddie, Sr. After her usual greetings she put her contribution to the meal on the oven and joined the family around the dining table. Eddie and her father were at one end of the table watching the baseball game on the TV atop a tv stand that also served as a mini bar which held some Johnnie Walker, gin, rum and wine along with the bar ware appropriate for scotch on the rocks or a gin and tonic. Eddie and Eddie, Sr. were enjoying the game and talking trash.
‘Mom where are the tea bags?’ There is some in the cabinet on the left next to the sugar and coffee. I bought you the kind you like when your stomach needs soothing.’ Della hated when her mother pointed out how nervous she gets sometimes, especially when she was around family. Thankfully, the tea kettle whistled and she was distracted from her annoyance with her mother and busied herself with getting some lemon and honey to make a calming cup tea.
