A Kind Of Madness Dthrip Better (Legit)
Yesterday, I rearranged the salt and pepper shakers on my kitchen table forty-three times. Not consecutively. Throughout the day. I would walk past, see that the pepper was on the left, and feel a small, exquisite violence in my chest. So I'd swap them. Then, ten minutes later, the salt would look wrong on the right. Swap again. By the sixth swap, I wasn't sure which arrangement I actually wanted. By the twelfth, I realized: there is no correct arrangement. The Hum knows this. It is not trying to help me find order. It is trying to exhaust me into a scream.
And then I'll put it back.

My neighbor, Mrs. Kellaway, knocked this morning. She wanted sugar. I opened the door holding a measuring tape. She didn't ask why. People don't ask why anymore. They've learned that the answer is either boring or terrifying. I gave her the sugar, then closed the door and measured the distance from the handle to the strike plate. 2.4 centimeters. It was 2.4 centimeters yesterday, too. I measured anyway. Yesterday, I rearranged the salt and pepper shakers
And then I'll start again.
