Kids just left. Both of em. And Mom too— last year. So now it’s just… quiet. All the small talk, the little fights, the parent-teacher things, even grocery store chit chat, it’s all GONE. And you think you’d be happy, right? free? but holy cow, it’s just me and the dog and the tv. And I dunno what to DO with my face, like, who am I even talking to anymore? It's like my whole job just vaporized and no one even noticed. My whole LIFE. What now? Is this... is this it? It’s WEIRD.
