The Good Patrons of 750 Words

1 cup

Ordinarily I’d be devastated that I missed a day of the challenge, but, in my defense, it was my birthday weekend, I had started writing and was distracted by cake (lie) with every intention of returning to the one paragraph I managed to input. But I feel redeemed because I bet $5 for 750 words if I failed, and I failed, so I donated the sawbuck and today is Day One of the August Challenge, and I will prevail! Plus, as part of my penance, I have to eat two apple fritters from Bob’s donuts on Polk St.
