An Imagined Conversation with You, the Stranger I Feel Obliged to Explain My Two Month Absence To

How it feels returning to a dormant blog.

Me: [Opens door cautiously, after more than two months away. It lets out a long squeak. The air is stale. I enter.]

You: [Stepping out of the shadows into a beam of light that shines through a hole in the roof] Well, well, well... Look what the cat drag-

Me: -AH! What? You get to start this convo?

You: Yeah, dude. I've been here this whole time. But you haven't. Where have you been?

Me: Things have been... hectic. But, sorry, you've just been in here? Waiting for the next post?

You: No rest for the hypothetical, bro.

Me: Yikes. Is every blog like this?

You: Yes.

Me: There must be millions like you.

You: Millions. And we're very disappointed in you lot.

Me: I bet.
