Lauren’s a psychopath.
It’s a Jason isn’t it? He seems happy on the outside. He has a good job, people think he’s lucky having a probably pretty wife and the dinner parties are great in a home that’s so neutral no-one can dislike the decor.
But he’s thinking of ending it. It’s just that every time he is about to have enough free time to drown himself or something he gets a text from Lauren that needs answering immediately.
She wouldn’t like the mess anyway, he ponders, it wouldn’t be very neutral.
Only thing missing is a “live laugh love” sign
If it were there, it would be turned around so the text is facing the wall
You just know those books aren’t there to be read.
I must be stupid because I can’t even figure out what it means to stack books back to front.
You’re not stupid.
I think they mean with the spine facing the wall instead of outwards.
Don’t worry Lauren isn’t the type to read them anyway. She prefers TikTok.
the side with the title on it is facing the wall, so that they all look roughly the same color when viewed from the front. And now you can’t tell which book is which.
Poor J can’t find his copy of The Hobbit!
What he doesn’t know is the Lauren put it in the recycling 5 weeks ago. His ghost will forever wander the house turning a book around, sighing and moving on to the next one. Lauren is quietly pleased about it as J is now very neutral, the all that ground glass in his Buddha bowls was worth the effort.
