Her head tilts to read instructions printed on the back. Her hands clutch the box of frozen food like a steering wheel. The freezer door swings back into the freezer and the rubber seal pops on the white metallic surface. Her bare heals press on the tile floor. Her pelvis collides through her clothing with a rounded edge of formica counter and a portion of her body weight distributes on the peninsula.
Sixty watt light fills the room. White plaster ceiling slouches a little more than a foot above her head. Wood paneled walls unfold in multiple positive and negative right angles from the back doorway, over the pantry, around the fridge and onto the counter, oven and sink area.
Subtly bending blades of her brown hair hang from each temple, over her cheeks and eyes. She drops the moistening package onto the counter and the two dead orbs in her skull stare at the microwave. Clumpy spikes point out in stunted radius from the edge of her lids. The two thick lines drop their useless determination onto the lower lid and rest for what seems too long.
