People Who Live Above Stores

People Who Live Above Stores Morse Avenue, Chicago It’s two in the morning and people who live above stores have sprung from their beds this hot summer night. They’re leaning out of their windows and bellowing into the street at the baker who launched the alarm in the Rogers Park Donut Shoppe. It’s been ringing for hours and the police haven’t come. Not even the firemen. The donuts will never get done and it appears now that people who live above stores will remain in a rage leaning out of their windows waving cigarettes like strobes and bellowing the rest of the night.
