Doug Disappeared On a Monday

Doug disappeared on a Monday right after he had finished his little to-do list. Clean house, check, do laundry, check, take dog to vet, check, spray mirror with slightly warm Wind-mist. It was his current list, his wife stated adamantly. I keep them here in a little file. Yes, she had every days’s since they had gotten married. Stacked end to end, they went a country mile. Doug was found six years later, but refused to come back, making his wife and his mother really sad. They both had laborious to-do lists by then, and Doug had been the best worker they’d ever had.
