Stains

Stains

"Oh Lord, that will take some cleaning – what a stain."

Leonora fetched her bucket, scrubbing brush and rubber gloves. So many times she had cleaned up Pete’s messes: spilled beer, vomit and worse.

"Well, you old slob, that will be your last mess," she said as she knelt down to work on the carpet.

"But I have to admit, you made a fine job of sharpening the carving knife."
