Past Due
Three months of missed rent, mounting pressure, and a roommate relationship stretched to the breaking point in a city that never waits.In an apartment on the outskirts of Claremont, a roommate is struggling. Three months without a paycheck have left the rent unpaid, forcing the other to cover the shortfall while quietly hoping things will turn around. The tension isn’t loud or dramatic at first. It’s in the lingering worry over bills, the tight smiles across the kitchen table, and the unspoken calculation of what each day will cost. Financial stress weighs on both roommates, and small frustrations magnify—every late night, every missed call, every expense becomes a reminder that survival in the city requires sacrifices, and sometimes those sacrifices fall on the people closest to you. Past Due is a quiet, emotionally charged story exploring responsibility, friendship, and the limits of generosity when life and circumstances push too far.
