The eternal question


I was both drunk and high when I got home that night, and, needless to say, also very hungry.

I made my way to the kitchen without turning on any lights because I didn’t want to wake anyone up.

I opened the fridge and scouted it for any leftovers. No luck.

I then opened the freezer because the strawberries from the fridge made me crave ice cream, but soon realized there was no light in the freezer like there was in the fridge.

In my intoxicated state I opened both doors and just stared at them alternately.

My mind couldn’t comprehend why there was a light in one but not in the other.

I knew the light inside the fridge was to help one find what they need at night, but why wouldn’t there be a light in the freezer for that same reason?

Were we not supposed to open the freezer in the night? Were we not supposed to have ice cream when it’s dark outside?

I must’ve been staring at the two open machines in front of me for at least five minutes, trying to figure out the reason why one has a light and the other doesn’t, until at last my stomach rumbled, and I decided to grab some ice cream and strawberries and ignore the question altogether.


The prompt was:

"Light"
