148 dreaming of a better life
"A torn membrane 1 can be a massive thing to mean, quite a menace actually,” Graig Aclan said to himself, shaking his head as he tackled the customers’ loudspeaker system. And besides, a task like this is the most minion 2 type of work imaginable. There is very little merit in it. The sun had reached its meridian 3, and Graig was ready for his lunch break. He stepped outside and had a look at the greenage observatory 4. The sight of the zero meridian, the sight of the splendid building mesmerized 5 him and he began to philosophies. “If only I listened to my Dad and become a merchant,” he mused 6 with regret, “fate would surely be much more merciful to me than it is now, a life as a mercantile agent, that would be good one.” Sending memorandums, shipping 8 merchandise around the world, arranging companies to merge 9, those were the kinds of activities Graig is daydreaming 10 about. “What’s on the menu today?” he enquired 11 as he stepped into the Goose & Dog, his favorite pub in the area. “Food’s off for the next 2 weeks, the kitchen is being renovated 12.” Said Bridget, the bar maid. “Didn’t you read the memo 7 we sent you?””I can’t memorize every single memo I get in my email, especially if it’s nothing memorable 13.” Graig grumbled 14 with discontent, and stepped back out of the pub, with a jolt 15, he realized that today was a memorable day, his father had passed away exactly one year ago and at 3 o’clock there would be a memorial service. He quickly grabbed a sandwich at the shop next to the pub and rushed home, so as not to be late. He forgot all about the loudspeaker system with the torn membrane.
