#Day From Hell

by Clare Griffin

You know those perfect, wonderful days where everything goes right, and you just wish you could hit pause and be happy forever? Well, this is not a story about one of those days. This is a day where Jane should have stayed in bed. She certainly didn’t plan on running into an ex looking the way she does and she didn’t plan on giving the old man next door a heart attack, but that’s just about how this day is turning out. A short story about the bad days, that make even the most mundane days seem good.
