The Foreclosure

When Richard got the fourth notice about the foreclosure he opened it on his way over to the condo. The first letter he placed in a horror novel he was reading on the weekends, the second he rolled up and used to fish his keys from underneath the kitchen hutch, and the third he lined the bottom of Slim’s cage. He decided it would do him better to recycle the paper, since he knew there was nothing he could do to stop the process the bank had already begun.
