perturbation"
ex: The Ensign parked his brand new Matt Malloy inspired car, turned
off the Bela Fleck playlist, and shuffled up to his old house. His gait was
that of some ancient hobbled gnome. He stopped for a second and took stock of
his house. Recently his realtor suggested he drop the sale price to $23.88, a
big come down from the $899,999.00 he’d hoped for. If he got that and subtracted
the sales commission, what he owed the bank, and then given a portion to the
ex, he’d come away from the sale owing over half a million. This caused him to
shake and regret the wreckage of his future. Were one to spy him, there on the
porch, one might think him in a state of perturbation.
