She has turned on the wrong burner, and so the pot will not boil. Frustrated, she cracks the eggs and whips them. The man waiting for his breakfast looks at his fat gold watch. While the oranges are pulped, bacon fried to cinders, toast burnt black, the woman’s blue curses bend the man’s ear. He listens anxiously to her scuffle and stomp. He can’t see her face, but glimpses the set of knives he once gifted her flashing in the sun. The man looks at his watch again. He wonders if breakfast is late because the woman has killed it.

Should he run for it or offer to help?

My knives definitely deserve gaol time for the number of meals they've murdered. Comments are closed.
