Just realized I have been mixing up Funny Games and a Clockwork Orange for years…
Yogurt
I opened the refrigerator this morning and saw that my little yogurt container was almost gone. I looked down to Laurels shelf and saw four containers of yogurt including one not yet opened.

After an interminable wait, there was finally the rattling of the key in the lock.… read more “Proposal”
