The Ring

It was a Friday, I came home late to my apartment alone and a bit drunk. As I was fumbling with my keys I saw a box. Without thinking I grabbed it on the way in and dumped it on the table.

I dropped onto the couch to watch some TV, but nothing was on. Still lagging in my mind was that box. I fixed myself some food and watched some stupid animal show on cable. They always make me laugh. It was a hard day at work, listening to the boss yelling all day. "Are you done yet!!!!" I can still hear that voice echoing.

I woke up to find I had fallen asleep on the couch. I went to take a shower. As I tossed my clothes in the hamper, I thought of that box again. Something within me stirred. Should I open it?

I sluggishly got ready for bed before remembering the box once again. I grabbed the box cutter from the kitchen and looked it over. 'From a friend' it read, which was strange because you didn't have many of those other than Lisa and Chris and she wasn't the package sending type.

I reach out to touch it, It felt warm, nice. After a moment I cut open the box and unfold the paper inside. At the center of a wad of packing paper is a small brushed aluminum ring. Curious I slip it on surprised with it fits the first time. At the bottom of the package I find another note 'Just a thought away from all you want'.

Puzzled I stuff the paper back in the box and head off to bed rubbing the ring between my fingers.
