Did you ever have one of those days? One of those terrible, horrible, no good very bad days where nothing seemed to go your way, no matter how hard you tried?
Well, today had been one of those days for Erin. It hadn’t quite accumulated into her getting fired, but it had postponed her tenure review until ‘a more suitable time’, and what with catching her boyfriend cheating on her and then proceeding to drown her sorrows in a little too much boxed wine... Yeah, Erin Gilbert was a right mess.
Under normal circumstances, if one found themselves in such a situation, they would call upon one of their friends to help. After all, that’s what friends were for. But ever since the Ghost Girl debacle in primary school, Erin had found it difficult to make friends, this lack of social interaction following her well into adulthood. As a result, she had a handful of acquaintances, but no one she could really call a friend. Still, her alcohol-muddled mind seemed to think it was a good idea to knock on her neighbour’s door, hoping for some form of comfort from the woman who always had been kind of nice to her (as neighbours were. God, she made terrible decisions when she was drunk)
