I First Noticed the Water Pooling Under the Refrigerator One Rainy Thursday Evening, and It Was the Beginning of an Unraveling I Couldn’t Ignore

The thought of calling the landlord again filled me with a mix of dread and frustration.

How many times could I repeat the same conversation, only to be met with indifference?

As I stood there, staring at the fridge, a sense of resolve began to form.

I couldn’t let this small problem become an insurmountable obstacle.

There had to be a way forward, a solution I hadn’t yet considered.

The drip was only the beginning, but it wouldn’t be the end.
