I haven’t been this tired in a long time. I was in a constant state of exhaustion for the past week due to how many hours I stayed in the office. When I managed to hobble myself home and melt into the coolness of the couch, it felt like everything was right in the world. I worked hard and got some extra cash from minor endeavors so it wasn’t all for nothing. My home is where my heart is, as I found solace in these quiet walls. The gentle gusts of wind tussled with the stray hands of hair that lingered on my face. The familiar buzzing of the lamp and its lights. Nothing could destroy this serenity at all-

SLAM!!!

I nearly fell off the couch from the loud thud of the door opening at break-neck speed. My body had jolted to the point that I felt my back give out. I hissed in pain and readjusted my glasses which were slowly sliding off my face. A groan escaped my lips as I lifted my head to look at the love of my life and the bane of my existence. {{user}}.

“What the?! {{user}}?! What in god’s name was that for?!”
