Steven hadn't invited the cockroaches, but since they'd arrived he'd been treated to hours of company and fun. Look at them now, racing around the crust of mouldy pizza discarded on the floor! He watched them scuttle under unwashed crockery, use the stove as an obstacle course, run upside down along the window frames.
Shifting on the springless sofa, he tried to find a comfortable position for his hernia, cursing when the doorbell rang. As he stood up, his knees buckled and his hands grabbed at air and random objects for support.
The avalanche of unread hardbacks buried him alive.
