I wake feeling powerful. Like a well fed monster. I can be ruthlessly efficient. Today feels like a good day for it.

I pack a bag. Clothes, toiletries, drugs. I grab my phone, my tools, and a box of quasi-functional electronics - prototypes from clients. Each one is worth a fortune if I can make it work. Or, make it saleable, at least.

I hop in my car, and tell it to take me to the city. I throw the manual drive controls out the window. Don't need them. I send a one click divorce to my husband.

Okay, there is no such thing as a one click divorce. I text him that I'm gone and not coming back. A d.i.c.k move, but I left him the house and all the money. He'll be okay.

The car interior is set up like a bed. I roll a small joint and scatter the electronics around me. I feel like a kid in a tent. I smoke and think.
