The coffin was light because she was old and somewhat diminished when she was placed inside. But the surface looked like metal and no matter what we said, he assumed it had a weight to it. In a break with protocol he climbed low on to the counter, squatted like an athlete doing deadlifts at…

Monday ‘Severe weather warning: moderate rain.’ I wonder how both parts of that statement can be true, but you can’t argue with the weather. Despite the warning, every hour from now ‘till sunset is marked with a wind icon in the app. It’s 4 degrees and I want to stay home but I go out…
