THE CITY

He was a bad tenant…

Who hadn’t paid the rent.

He was three months overdue. Not only that, he owed a debt collector money, so his priority was to pay him first. He was nervous he might call to collect any day now, so he was paranoid as he left his apartment that morning. Sweat was beading from his brow as he stepped out into the hallway…

Straight into his landlord’s presence.

“I need the rent today,” said the landlord.
