*Pete, feeling the pressure, whips out his little book of excuses and thumbs through its worn and ragged pages. He flicks past the obvious - the hangovers, the punctures, the incoming cold and the outgoing one, he continues past his bookmarked specials, the red ribbon poking out between the pages as if it were sticking a tongue out at his commitments. He stops, about two thirds of the way through. The One-off Excuses section. He slides his finger down the page, eyes squinting.
That'll do, he thinks, and with the joy of a man who has once more dodged a bullet, posts his get-out for all to see*
