"Show You How"

Note from the author: In light of everything happening with COVID-19 it’s a lot of fun to think about what it would be like to be out with friends again. Since we can’t escape what’s going on in the world, please stay safe and, unfortunately, in your homes. One day (relatively soon) we’ll be able to move about the cabin (and world!) again.

A person is listening to their voicemail.

Message Machine: “You have one saved message. To listen to your messages, press one, to… First saved message. Message sent yesterday at 10:41 pm.”

Heyyyy. I was thinking about us. “Ha!” Well what would happen if we could actually hang out right now.  That coffee shop looks like a vacation. “I gotta tell ya” hanging out would definitely be a good thing. It would “make it better.” Sitting within a foot of someone, a stranger. That sounds like paradise. 

Okay, I didn’t call for no reason. “I know there’s somethin’ I needed to say” for a long time. It’s about our friendship. You know that sometimes I don’t respond, but it’s not because I don’t care. Our friendship means everything. “When I was out” grabbing food, I couldn’t stop thinking about how we can’t go to that one restaurant because the whole thing is an experience and there’s no way to social distance. So I hope they last while closed.

Well I definitely will be requesting us to hang when it’s all over. I can’t believe I’ve left you this long voicemail, please delete it immediately. I’m really no good on the phone. Hey it’s possible you’ve realized that “maybe you [are] better alone” in this time and that’s acceptable it’s a shit show. It’s like emotion after another emotion until I hit no emotions and then right back to the beginning of that cycle. Are you feeling that?

I’d be impressed if you got to this far in the message. 

Well “I know I’ll make it” and you’ll make it while we’re just sitting at “home.” Talk soon and stay safe.
