End of Tranquility

Well, vacation is almost at an end, which I can only suppose means that I shall soon return to my darkly sarcastic self. Okay, so I've been flippant here as well.

So have I mentioned that my brother has been away at college? And he stays up late. This means that he stays up late here, as well.

This means that he gets the munchies, late in the evening. A couple of evenings ago he made popcorn well after midnight. I sleep on the couch, one wall away from the kitchen.

The sound haunts me in my dreams.

pop

pop
pop pop pop
popopopopopop

and just when you think it's over

pop

It's enough to drive a man mad. Really, really, nuts! Honest.
