Ten.One Thousand, Five Hundred & Twenty-Seven

1. Mosquito buzzing near my ear.

2. A little too wrinkly.

3. Leftover vegetables with the breakfast sausage. Counting down the minutes until they all wake.

4. Supernatural.

5. The roll-up is down which means today will be a light day.

6. They say the song reminds them of a movie. I laugh to myself; I am old enough to have heard the song on the radio. Delilah, to be exact.

7. I roll the windows down and turn off the music. Just the sound of the air rushing through the car, the tires rolling over acorns and leaves, a leafblower.

8. I catch up on emails while sitting in the pickup line. He asks for the podcast with the scary stories.

9. His answer is always the same but so is my question.

10. Praise the leftovers.
