Once upon a time, in a far away place called Wilmington, Laura and Miles bought a DVD—a movie they had not yet seen. It was entitled Miss Congeniality 2, and promised a good show. Their time was not their own in the last days of North Carolina living. You see, they were in the process of relocating to a distant land called Wisconsin, and there were tasks to be completed...boxes needed packing and dust bunnies needed trapping. It was with heavy hearts that they packed the DVD, still encased in its cellophane wrapping.
One evening in Wisconsin, Miles and Laura had a tiring day. For imagination's sake, let's call it "last night". They slogged toward their plush couch and slumped against the pillows. Weariness became palpable, a canopy draped from the ceiling, the walls, and every other surface imaginable. It weighed upon them, brushing upon their shoulders. "I should do more work tonight..." began Miles.
"Yeah...and I should unpack another box..." added Laura.
Their eyes met and communicated their most secret desires. Their longing spoke louder, more articulately, than any voice ever had: "Let's do nothing instead."
Now naturally, "nothing" entailed the viewing of Sandra Bullock sequels.
Oh yeah, and they lived happily ever after.
The end.
