Spider In the Kitchen Sink
A plain beige kitchen. LED lights are lined along the top of the cabinets. Bright red bar stools line up next to the breakfast bar. The only flash of color. An old gas stove and oven, stained with black from past misuse. A sink in the corner, set at an angle, the water never seems to get warm. Someone left their dirty pale pink plastic dishes in it. Looking closer one can see that what was once thought of as a crack in the sink is actually a small spider. Elegant and minuscule. A speck of life and beauty in this unimpressive place.
