There were six extra-large pizzas and 2 trays full of hot dogs sitting in the kitchen this afternoon. Piping hot.
Opened that front door a good twelve times this afternoon. Sweeping in that thick south carolina summer into this house for a good hour or so. Left that same door open for all those goodbyes tonight.
Ran around for two hours with a good twenty kids in this house. Sweaty and panting. Had to cut the fan on.
Fan’s cut off now, but the a/c is still going. Was set a tad bit lower than usual for this afternoon.
Its cold as fuck.
This living room is empty besides seven thin chairs, a half-dead plant, my stereo (now off), and myself. The clicking keys echo off the four walls and the hardwood floors. Its the only lighted room in the house right now.
Empty rooms get cold fast. Empty rooms get cold fast.
