I too liked it...

I'm curious; when you are writing, do you listen to music?

From your post:

Going to the kitchen, she poured water from the cold water tap. It was far from cold. She shut the faucet off. It dripped in a steady, relentless "ping, ping" into the worn basin, the water stain in a rorsach shape was growing like an embolism on the once white porcelain.

Love this ... there have been many analogies in life... this hits perfectly especially I suppose, if this story not only does that..." tells a story", but portrays a moment in your own actual life...

Bravo... look forward to more...
