Dear other people residing in my apartment complex,
Apartments are for living in. Not for starting fires in. And while I do both acknowledge that this was an unintentional cooking fire, and appreciate that you did not mace the building common areas prior to starting the fire, the end result – me standing in the cold (and while already sick and miserable) with two pissed off cats, and inhaling smoke (did I mention the already sick and miserable thing? Let’s add in being asthmatic, too) – is the same, as is the lingering and insistent smell of smoke that makes me feel as though I’ve been teleported to the middle of a camp fire someone is just putting out.
With love,
– the cranky, cold, sick asthmatic in #17
and her two pissy cats
