Morning



I pick up my keys,

"Hey Chris!" I shout. "Have you seen my shoes?"

The washing machine starts its spin cycle. It's 9.15am.

I scuff under the bed with a socked foot.

"Chris!"

There's a shuffling in the hall and the toilet door slams.

"Chris, did you hear? I can't find my shoes, they're not here."

An inaudible mutter comes from the toilet and a banging noise which sounds
as if someone is swinging a cat.

I ransack the kitchen.

"Chris you little sod! Where are my stinking shoes!!"

The bath taps start running.

I bang on the bathroom door.

"Oi Chris! Shoes! My shoes, have you seen them?!"

"...o.r who drinks beer" is all I can make out

"Right! That does it! I'm taking yours you selfish bastard!"

Moments later I storm out the flat.

.... The toilet door opens a crack, a pair of shoes are thrown out.


"Matt, your shoes are in here!"
