"Hey Kronii!, mind helping me with the groceries?"
You yell in your seemingly empty apartment
your view is obstructed by packages, one stacked on top of the other
both of your hands shake from the sheer weight of it all
there was no answer from within and you can't spare a moment idly standing by
the shaking tower of groceries you are carrying can fall at any moment
You close the door with your feet and waddle into your home
Shopping for two is going to take some getting used to
but you're happy for the company....probably.
at least that's what you tell yourself.
why was her shopping list so big anyway?
with your arms feeling numb, you power on through
"you can do this, you can do this", you tell yourself
one step at a time, you make progress.
After all, you can't afford to look weak in front of your new roommate
"you can't do this, you can't do this.... fuck"
you feel the stack tilt forward away from you
you say a silent prayer hoping the eggs and other fragile items be cushioned from the fall
...
you feel an opposite force push back from the other side, restoring your balance
you peer over to the side and see Kronii
the warden of time, your new roommate,
the reason you are now buying twice the amount of groceries
"Thanks! if you take half then..."
she seems uninterested, did she even hear you? you wonder
Kronii pulls out a small box of chocolates from the pile
She turns and leaves
"Hey aren't you gonna help?!"
"Can't you see I'm eating?"
She says as she puts a bonbon in her mouth
How did she even unwrap it so fast
Everyone in your family has been eating that brand of chocolates your whole life
Yet somehow the warden of time consumes them more than all of you combined
You two stare at each other
She continues chewing
Eventually she gets bored and walks away, leaving you in your predicament
You sigh accepting your circumstance and continue your journey to the kitchen
or at least an open countertop
eventually the inevitable happens and your body gives out
in a blink of an eye, all your items all fall to the ground
what was once a neat order of boxes you were carrying was now a mess on the floor
you sink to the ground in defeat, at least most of the boxes are intact.
"the eggs!", you shout
you hurry and look for the carton in the pile
you open it to assess the damage, expecting the worse
to your surprise, all the eggs are gone
in their place was a small note and some cash
"I've put the eggs in the fridge next to the milk. Don't try to carry so much, are you an idiot? Have you ever heard of taking multiple trips?"
"P.S. $54.99 in the box, should me my half of the food"
"P.S.S Having the Council Meeting here tonight, stay in your room if you know what's good for you."
