Jenna jerked open the dented door of her Honda and tossed her knitted attaché case onto the front seat.  As she settled in behind the steering wheel, she realized she had forgotten her keys – the ones with The Clapper on them.  She started back to her apartment building, shuddering inwardly as she noticed a tomcat peering at her from behind her neighbor’s scooter.  Back inside, she twisted a sandy curl in her fingers, trying to remember what she had come back for.  Her Power Rangers lunch box stared at her from the counter; she sighed heavily, grabbed it and ran back out the door.  On the second to the last step out to the parking lot, she remembered her keys again.  She rubbed her temples hoping to combat the effects of the measly two hours of sleep the night before and thought absently about maybe taking the bus.
