Sunday 160

Still dragging out the NaNo extracts!  It's for Monkey Man, as usual. And it's heavily edited from its original to make it 160 characters. But here you are:

Ted Mathews believed he was a big fish in a small pool. The fact that he was actually small fry did not detract from his inflated opinion of his own importance.

Calendar

Earlier today I thought
"It's Friday!"
But I was wrong.
When realised that it is
Only Tuesday
I almost cried,
And now I feel
More like Monday.
