The Titular Line

 Walking home with a dozen eggs and nothing else. Stops in front of a pet groomer. $15 self service full wash. He thinks that's a pretty good deal if you don't want to just do it at home. Its 7 AM and those young adults are still drinking and having a good time. They must have stayed up all night, unless they got up very early to laugh and have a good time, but that seems unlikely. 

 He remembers Zoe last night and how condescending she was to him. Fucking bitch, who does she think she is? He makes more money than her. He has more expensive clothes, drives a more expensive car, his house is bigger. He has more friends and closer ones too. Who the fuck does that bitch think she is condescending him? She has a rich daddy and works in a retail store for fun. She is invested in no stock and doesn't even have a credit card. Her only redeeming quality is that she's fuckable, and she wears that shit in. The entire town and the next one over has fucked her. He should text her and let her know he doesn't appreciate her snide nature.

 He has so many calls to make this morning but his Bluetooth headset has been acting kind of funny and it could be a bad look if his connection isn't sharp. He has a great reputation. He is known as sort of a shark. Jason from Bellinger technologies has been trying to set up a meeting for the last three weeks, but Jason doesn't seem like the most trustworthy individual. The reason he's gotten so far and had so much success is because he consistently trusts his gut.

 A new hobby would really spice up his life, but not many things are of interest. He doesn't exercise because of a heart condition, and bird watching is boring. He went hunting once and killed a small Roebuck accidently. He didn't really feel bad or anything. The group decided to bury the small Roebuck where it had died, and had a small memorial in its honor. He had skydived once, threw up midair and it flew into the face of the professional strapped to his back.

 Maybe one day holding political office will be in the cards. Maybe his stances aren't strong enough, as he often sees logic from both sides. He wont run as a centrist because they never win, the left is too weak and the right is too heavy handed. His father was the mayor of a small town in Idaho for a few weeks and told him that "politics will corrupt even the purest of hearts".

 His mother died giving birth to him, and his father also resented him for it, though they never talked about it, not even once. One time when he was 9, he asked about her. His father sighed and plopped a photo book on the table, went into the next room and didn't come out for three days.

 He intentionally never married, never wanted kids. There is no continuation of his family name and lineage, it will die with him and he cherishes that, it comforts him as he drifts off to sleep at night. He has never masturbated once in his life due to a Christian documentary he watched as a kid. He didn't want to go to hell, plus they said god is always watching, and he didn't watch to jerk off in front of the "lord and savior". Now he suffers from a blood flow issue and would never openly discuss it with anyone, not a medical doctor or the local CVS cashier.

 There is no religion in his life, as he always thought god was a massive pervert for wanting to watch him masturbate, as he understood it. He went to church once, kneeled down at the altar, and cried. The church was empty and his weeping echoed throughout the holy structure. That was about a decade ago, and he hasn't cried since, and cant remember doing it anytime before either. 

 He is so sick of drinking coffee because he hates the taste. He can't drink energy drinks because of his heart condition, but sometimes eats an energy bar in the morning. He found mold in his coffee maker and never cleaned it out. He just kept using it. Its sort of a dirty little secret he keeps with himself. 

 Veronica Withers was the only girl he ever was in love with, but she was his second cousin, before her and her entire family died violently in a skiing avalanche in the alps. He was relived when she died because he was confused about his feelings. He was still sad, and the funeral was devastating, but he was still slightly relieved. 

 His house was disturbed by an earthquake last year, and now it creaks sometimes, giving him massive anxiety. He got it checked out and the inspector said there was no structural damage and it would probably be fine, but he didn't trust the inspector due to deep rooted racial bias. He wasn't racist, in fact the only relationship he ever had was with a black girl named Wanda Sykes. Yes, that Wanda Sykes. He did think he could love her, but she left him suddenly to shoot a movie somewhere in Texas. They just went their separate ways and never spoke again. 

 He had to focus because there was a lot of work to be done, and though he owned his own business, he still held himself highly accountable.
