Description

I dragged the legs and head out which I always had to carry. At these moments, I feel as excited as I have discovered a hidden place that is not visible on a game map, but also as guilty as if I will regret what I encountered there. While I have spent hours to strengthen the hero of the game and to do so many tasks, I feel like what will come across in that secret place will bring the hero's end and restart the game. I don't need to tell you how scared I was at the risk of being fired for being late for work the next day, let alone wasting hours of sleep. While these ideas are still in my head, I sit on the couch to relieve myself a little. The adventure of this armchair, how its broken pieces were formed and the feelings it gave me when I first got it home are the subject of another short story.   I drink coffee while watching the street, the people and small street animals passing by the window do not distract me. I watch it so absentmindedly that I wake up to the sound of a car horn for a moment. The coffee cup in my hand involuntarily shakes and a few drops of coffee spill onto the floor while swearing curses at the driver, disrupting a peaceful moment I captured. I carry what I have to carry again and go inside and lock the balcony door. Now there are three of us inside, three creatures breathing the air of the house with no open windows. The smell of feces, coffee, dirty laundry, things eaten at breakfast, incense in one of the rooms, yesterday's laundry and the smell of the newly changed bed linen, all permeated the house and created a non-irritating mixture. The next-door neighbor, whose voice has been bothering me lately, has not been seen for several weeks. She's a lonely old woman, but she likes to turn up the volume on the TV. Maybe she's doing this so she doesn't feel like alone at home. Luckily I will be moving out of here soon, going to another city. I'll move everything there, everything I need to move, and the rest will stay here in this house with no windows open. July, 2023 by Demon Ego
