we’re having our first thunderstorm of the year and i’m really glad i saw the lightning and heard it through my headphones because otherwise i wouldn’t have gone to the back door to see what the knocking was and i wouldn’t have heard Tera mewing out there, ready to come back inside. That’s all for now. Oh yeah, except—I just heard the floor above the kitchen creak—Lib & Cel went to sleep inside a cardboard box; they left the curtains open. I wonder if they feel fine inside the cardboard box, or if they got up to close the curtains against the lightning. Maybe I’ll go peek. Or maybe I’ll let them figure it out. (2016)
