Missing Manservant
I awoke to the sound of birds through my open window. Ordinarily, I always enjoy this time of morning; when the wildlife wake’s up and starts its chorus. But this morning it felt like each thread of bird song felt like a hot dagger in my head. My mouth felt like the bottom of a birdcage too.
“David,” I croaked, not yet lifting my thumping head. Where was he? My manservant was invariably ‘in place’ as soon as I opened my eyes. Usually with a freshly brewed coffee, my robe, and slippers in hand. I listened. I couldn’t hear any sounds coming from the kitchen. Most mornings, if David wasn’t at my bedside to greet me good morning, I could hear him in the kitchen, whistling as he cut fruit for my breakfast. The house was still. I rolled over to the left so I could see the time on the alarm clock. An alarm clock that had never once been set for a wake-up call. I didn’t need to. I had David. What the fuck?! I leaped out of bed as the LCD numerals of 8:31 burned an image behind my make-up caked eyes. As soon as I was on my feet, I crashed face first into the sumptuously firm bed again. “I’m dying,” I whispered over my swollen dry tongue. A bowling ball had replaced my brain and was, at this moment, clattering noisily against the insides of my skull.
“David!” I tried shouting; so I’d sound authoritative, but what came out was a feeble squeak. I slid off the bed until I was kneeling and tried to pluck up the courage to stand once more. I had to be at the She Council in exactly twenty-nine minutes, and I couldn’t even stand on my own two feet. I silently cursed Tabbernia and Nivven for coercing me into a night of hazy, paralytic adventure.
“David!” More of a bark this time. Good. Hopefully, he heard that this time and presumably he could hear the bite to my words. I was a patient She, kind to my help, but David’ absence in my dire time of need was unacceptable. Definitely going to have words with him after I get home from work. Which would be a first. In David’ ten years of service to me, I’d never once had to admonish him or pull him up for any kind of transgression. He was the most reliable, honest, hardworking manservant a She could hope for. He’d had thorough and fair training from me, and his workload was equitable also. David wasn’t locked into his quarters each night as most households tended to do. He was free to come and go as he pleased. This is how I differed from Tab and Niv. I treated my help with respect and kindness. And, as far as I knew, David was content with his position. He certainly had it better than most guys. Pigs. Ugh, I hated that my friends called the males this degrading name.
