is he dead?
last night, my roommate went to bed sounding like death. coughing and hacking.
i went to bed quite a bit later than him and i still heard him. coughing and hacking.
this morning i woke up, or rather this afternoon i woke up, for 1pm is no longer morning. and i heard no coughing and hacking. i notice his car is still outside, so i figure he's still home.
his bedroom door is closed, which is always open when he's gone. he must be sleeping in too. that'll be good for his sickness.
hours pass, and i still hear nothing from him. so i send him a text message, "are you home?"
no response, he must still be sleeping. another 30 minutes or so pass, and i try to call him. no response. at this point i start to wonder how i'd react to finding my roommate dead. i'm pretty good at not stressing, but i think finding someone dead might push my limits.
i knock on his door. no response. i open the door, and much to my relief, he's not even there. a short while later, i get a text from him, "i was at a play."
i guess some people get up before 1pm.
i told this story to someone, they said that i watch too much tv. i think my mind just naturally wanders like that.
k, goodnight.
