There's this corner in the living room I hate It's gonna hurt me I will get sick from it It's got bugs It's darker as it gets lower into the tip of the corner I feel like it has eyes sometimes I don't wanna look at it It looks at me when I sleep I don't wanna move my pillow to that side ever It could be a giant black oozing monster I'm afraid I smell it I don't wanna touch it It's gonna hurt me Yet I still sleep with my bed in that corner

the corner in my living room
Their house is filled up, richly furnished, with a nook -- where they bivouac.

Their house is filled up
Pillows fluffed up perfectly, throw blankets set down with care. The living room is masked- it looks perfect, not a crumb in sight, nowhere. But internally, the pillows are about to burst, start crying blanket tears. She wants to drown in them, to simply disappear. She throws the pillows to the ground, tries to rip the blanket to shreds. It doesn’t work, Her mind is still filled with dread, but Her face- happy instead.
