Scene to read · Resilience, Collaboration
Contest or pack
You share an apartment with two roommates, Beverly and Lerato; all three of you are students with exams this month.
This morning the landlord gave you thirty days to move out for renovations. A tenant clinic told Beverly the notice may not be valid, but challenging it takes weeks and might fail. Tonight the notice sits on the living room table between them.
The scene
Beverly: The clinic says we could win. If we fold, he does this again.
Lerato: Or we lose and have ten days to find a place, during finals.
Beverly: I'm not giving up a home because pushing back is inconvenient.
Lerato: I found a place we can see tomorrow. You're the tiebreaker. Contest or pack?
