“Have you finished your graduate school applications?” Roger’s mother asks during her monthly phone call to him that night. She always tries not to sound pushy or judgmental. Roger’s got to give her credit for that. Per usual, Roger mumbles on about how his portfolio isn’t finished.

“Let me know if you need help with money, sweetie,” she says. “To free up your time for those applications.” But Roger won’t ever ask her for money. She probably has hardly enough for retirement. He wants to get a scholarship. Make her proud and relieved.

After they hang up, he crawls into bed with Letterman and a beer. His hands are raw from cleaning. Creases and cracks are starting to bleed in places. Real sexy. Not. The cool beer bottle soothes his sore skin.

He imagines it’s him on Letterman.

“Great stuff,” Dave says, holding up Roger’s portfolio of photographs.

“Hey, thanks,” Roger replies. (Picture this: a planet where people gush over fine arts photographers, not just actors and models.)

“And you’re sleeping with that doll Elinor Mackey?” Dave asks. “How’s that going?”

Roger beams at the audience. “Awesome.”
