Prologue

A stack of pizza boxes on the left

Disarrayed DVDs on the right

Movie on full volume like he was deaf

This was his usual Friday night.


But tonight was strangely different;

The telly was off, windows were closed,

No food littered—such clean environment,

Nothing in the house was exposed.


Nowhere to be found was the owner

Or maybe could not be noticed at all

That he was actually beneath the shower

Awaiting what would never come—a phone call.
