It’s Sunday afternoon.

You’ve done the laundry. The groceries are put away. There’s nowhere you need to be.

You make some coffee and sit down.

This is nice.

You pick up your phone. Nothing interesting.

You put it down.

There are fingerprints on the coffee table.

You get a cloth and wipe them off. Since you already have the cloth, you wipe down the kitchen counter too.

The dish rack could probably be emptied.

You do that.

On the way back, you notice the laundry you folded earlier is still sitting on the bed.

Five minutes later, everything is put away.

You sit down again.

Coffee’s cold.

You look around the room.

There must be something else.
