Wednesday's Three Word Wednesday
The prompt words over at Three Word Wednesday are bored, habit and settle. We’re having some problems launching this day – I’m flying to Rapid City for a story and I have dog (singular, the one who eats shit she shouldn't) behaving badly – so a short exercise, a Fiction in 58, is what you get.
