Cleobetra 1 AM drop and the bill that landed six hours later

Felt golden for two hours. Cleobetra chucked 50 FS at me after midnight, actually hit something, sat there in the dark thinking maybe the spiral's got a ladder out. Then the letterbox flapped and there's the council tax reminder I forgot about. Same amount, almost to the pound. It's not even funny anymore it's just rhythm.
