Post-It Mortem
Life got too complex for Dan. Job. Wife. Kids. Yard. So he bought a block of Post-It notes and found a calmness in the sticky squares he scribbled on, peeled, and stuck.
Like mushrooms popping in the night, the house was soon a mosaic of reminders, tiny throw rugs shouting: “Pay cable,” “Dentist Kids – Weds” and “Oil change – Honda” while the coffee machine announced, “Buy filters.”
You’re a fucking lunatic, said his wife. One more note and we are done. The dog entered, broke the silence between them, the “Walk me” note on his collar vibrating with his happy tail.
