ROOM NINETEEN

Have you ever read “To Room Nineteen” by Doris Lessing? It’s about Susan Rawlings, a happily married woman who, in order to get some time alone, rents a hotel room every afternoon where she just sits, and be free.  "I need to be alone more than I am."

I, too, yearn for a Room Nineteen.  A secret hideout where I get to keep a grip on my sanity for just for a few hours every Sunday.

No one will be invited.
