raze the bottom right drawer. that's the one.

something went wrong somewhere around fifteen years ago. maybe i just asked it to do too much for too long. all i know is the grooves don't line up with the ball bearing drawer slides the way they're supposed to.

the face of the thing can fool you. it sits there looking like it's never strayed a day in its life, but when you pull it open there's a hitch in its step. it's better than it used to be. a bit of wood splintered on the left side when i shoved the drawer into the runner as hard as i could to make it move where i wanted it to go. it listened, and it listens still, but it won't let me forget how thoughtless i was once.

it's one drawer of nine in the massive walnut dresser that used to sleep in the bedroom of the people who made me, and now it sleeps in mine.

tender_square she didn’t mean to mix a small spoon with the small forks in the silverware drawer as she unloaded the dishwasher. she was tired. she was weary.

as she lifted the spoon to re-home it, she was struck by the thought of this scene as a metaphor for her life—always mixing with sharp-pronged forks, when what her gentle curves needed was the same shape to nest inside her own.
