Requiem For A Stripper #173

She crawled over and laid her head down on my lap. She was asleep in seconds. I didn't fancy sleeping sitting up all night but didn't want to wake her. And within five minutes I was out like a light.

I was jarred awake by the ringing of the phone at 4:30 in the morning. My head had been back, apparently for some time, and my neck felt like it had been pummeled with a baseball bat.

I had to raise Jen Ann's head up to get out from under her to answer the phone, and she woke up too...

    I know that neck feeling well! Usually it’s after falling asleep on the sofa while watching something I really want to watch... but falling asleep anyway☹️ (It might be an age thing!🥴)

    Yeah, I've done that myself. That's how I knew exactly how to describe it, because I've felt that baseball bat pummeled neck before!
