Room for improvement?

I’ve been asked to move in with two guys from work. They’re both on the nightshift with me, and they’re looking for a third person to take over their recently-vacated spare room, and share the bills. They think it will be good if all three co-habitants work the same hours, and they’ve approached me. I’m uncertain. It would be great to get away from this house and its memories, but I enjoy living with Hannah, and at the moment we get everything paid for. That would change pronto if I club up with Chas and Dave. We can’t keep scamming the dole office forever though, and maybe a fresh start before Summer is just what I need. I’ll have to talk it through with Hannah and see what she thinks. Maybe she’ll be as excited as I am. I’ve got to have a look at the place yet anyway. They wouldn’t tell me why the last guy moved out, so it may be in a rancid state or full of dodgy stains. Or both. It’s a big step to take, if I take it. The sudden change may facilitate some kind of breakdown that will leave me a nervous wreck, on the way to full-blown alcoholism. Or my housemates may turn out to be habitual rapists who’ll force me to sample amyl nitrate before taking advantage of me in various painful orifices.
I do have a habit of imagining the worst though…. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve taken a look.
