The Beginning of The End

I am closing my business today.
They turned off the gas and electric and want over two grand to turn it back on.
Payroll is due today.
I still have a catering job for 200 going out on Sunday afternoon.
I haven't told my three employees.
That's the hardest part.
I wanted to tell them a while ago but I thought I could stay open for a couple more weeks.
That's not going to happen.
Won't get to say goodbye to the regulars that I like.
That might be good thing.
I'll miss them.
I'll miss Colfax.
You're a mean bitch Colfax and you've stomped on a lot of souls.
And I'm one of them.
But I'll still love you Colfax.

I owe my parents twenty grand.
My house is going into foreclosure.
I am 39 years old.
I am the father of a wonderful two year boy who thinks I am a superhero.
I am a college graduate and an alcoholic.

Now I have to go and awaken my monster for one the last times.

I'll let you know how it goes.
