Dolores was angry when the alarm sounded. She hit the snooze button. Then hit it again, and again, and again. When she finally crawled out of bed, it was because she had to pee; she couldn’t hold it any longer. After she took care of her business, Dolores pulled on her robe, made coffee, and collected the letters that the postie had dropped through the slot in the front door.
