Jerrick threw the key from one hand to another as he ran up the stairs. He was all ready for cockroaches in the bed, and a single, uncovered light bulb hanging from the kitchen ceiling. He could finally live like everyone else!
He slipped the key into the lock and held his breath. Jerrick was all ready for not only bugs and broken furnishings, but a dank smell he just could not fix. Because gilded or not, a cage is still a cage, and he was trapped in his parents' home.
Jerrick swung open the door! Only to have his first words be, "Aww, shit. They put me in some fancy estate place. Just because i used to be rich doesnt mean i am anymore! God! I don't need all this," he yelled as he knocked over the maple nighstand, "I don't need all this! I wanted a new life, one where who i was determined what life would bring. But all i got were riches, the same as before. ARRGH! Vaneer is not a covering for the soul!!!"
Jerrick calmed down after awhile and checked himself. Yes, it was true, he had been put up in a mighty fine apartment. Yes, it was true that they were putting him up in this apartment largely because of his family history. However, it was also true that he would have to pay the rent on his own. And that this was a new city, and there were many possibilities. This was no gilded cage, it was just a very nice apartment.
Jerrick's breathing slowed and he ate a turkey sandwich.
