pigeonhole

Thursday, 16th of July 2020

In the basement of the university complex, there is a post office. Take out the key, unlock the door. Inside, there is a wall with many small square doors on it, each with a keyhole. Use the same key to open

the pigeon hole door number twenty-three.

In the small space inside, there is a single sheet of paper. Take it out, look at the contents.

It is a telephone bill, and a note informing that there will bear no further telephone bills.

Just a flat rate.

Peer into the pigeon hole. This is open at the back, it is possible to look into the post man's office. There is a man sitting there, short haired, dressed in a pink tee shirt.

He says "good morning"

wish him a "good morning" back

Then close the pigeon-hole's small square door and lock it.

Look at the silly bureaucratic telephone bill. It is for a very small amount, The telephone in the office not having been used much.

Leave the room with the pigeon holes and go

-back to the office. A larger pigeonhole.
