The cave (Short)

"Thank you very much for the invitation, but hardly. You know, so much work. Still, my sincerest congratulations! It's incredible how time has flown! It seems he was just born. And, what a lovely baby he was – sooooo… charming. A doll, an absolute doll. And now, he has a bar mitzvah. Incredible! Time flies; flies away, flies away!

In the den, you say, ahahaha. Indeed, you're right. If not a den, at least a cave, hahaha. Really, like a bear. What can you do? Especially now, when working from home has become almost the norm. What's better? I do not even know. If you work in the office, of course, you need to drive every day - traffic and everything.

On the other hand, at five p.m. you're gone. While if you work at home, you work even longer hours – weekdays and weekends.

What did you say - my house has become my cave? Indeed, hahaha.

Is it, really? Horrible! Do you think it has an artificial origin? Oh boy, I'm not too fond of conspiracy theories, but with this Covid, it's scary. Yeah, the same to you, and thanks for calling. Good luck!"

He hung off the phone, put it on the table, and yawned:

"Geez, Louise, they are so friking annoying!"
