A STORY. 62. 7 DAYS IN A ROW, HAPPINESS?

You’ve never stayed in the nook this long before. The other times it’s always been a short visit to the used bookshop, very pleasant, but it’s been one piece, one poem. Enough.

Today has been different. A spark, an idea. It feels like the first step into the coming year. The book you will be writing.

You started off in a bad mood. You’re not in a bad mood now.

You like the title of one of the poems, one you haven’t looked at. Seven Days in a Row, Happiness.

It hasn’t been seven days for you. You’ve been in a good mood for - how long has it been? - maybe thirty minutes.

You decide to turn to the page. Will you also get seven days of happiness? No idea. It would be better than seven days of crabbiness.
