In An Old, Cold, Run-Down Tenement Slum (Tenement Slum)

Memo to crazy landlord's sister who lives below me:

1) Did I hear you screaming last night or was it a dream? Or, alternately, am I living the movie Jacob's Ladder?

2) Last time I checked, I paid for utilities, so how about turning the heat on so I don't die in my bed, clutching the covers in my stiff, frozen fingers?

3) STOP SCREAMING.

Memo to readers:

If this lady sounds toothless, it's because she is. I mean, I did say she was crazy.
