           I didn't think I'd sustained too many injuries when I went
            hurtling  over  the  vacuum  hose  yesterday  but  today  my
            whole  body  feels  like  it’s  been  battered  &  then  taken
            apart  and  reassembled  with  every  piece  slightly  out  of
            alignment.

           I guess when the bloke comes round to read the electric
            meter  in  most  people's  houses  it’s  pretty  uneventful.
            Here's how it goes in my house. "The meter might be in a
            cupboard love"
           "Oh  OK"  so  I  reach  for  the  handle  of  the  big  "under
            stairs"  cupboard  and  as  soon  as  I  turn  it,  I  realise  my
            mistake! I can feel an entire lifetimes worth of hoarded
            junk,  breaking  free  from  behind  the  door  that's  held  it
            back like a dam all these months.
           I try to push back but the force is too strong and you can
            hear  an  ominous  rumbling  and  a  series  of  bumps  and
            bangs  as  shit  starts  to  hit  the  inside  of  the  door.  The
            door  flies  open  into  my  face  and  what  can  only  be
            described as a tsunami of jumble gushes out, pinning me
            to the wall. "No. No gas meters in here." I manage to yell
            from beneath the rubble. "I think you should just leave
            now." Apparently he had already left.
