Justine

Justine

She is your young neighbor. She just broke up with her boyfriend with whom she shared the apartment. She cannot afford rent by herself and is about to be evicted. She is sitting in the private courtyard having some wine, probably for the last time.

I’m just getting home from work. Justine is drinking in the dark in the courtyard. It’s dark and I don’t know she is there until she speaks.

Justine: Yeah, go ahead, ignore me. Her speech is slurred

you: Oh, hey, I didn’t see you there. Are you celebrating something?

Justine: Celebrating, no. More like mourning. I’ll be getting evicted soon.
