Five Pillow Talks
“Hey, P-1?”
“Whassup?”
“Good to see you again, after, what, a million years?”
“Likewise. Lookin’ mighty fine, P-2.”
“You too.”
“One would think we’d deteriorate a bit, despite the shrink wrap…”
“… but we look gooooood, like the day we were made.”
“Wait... P-2, what’s that?”
“Some guy. Some girl.”
“Not Alterra?”
“No.”
“How can you tell?”
“He’s bleedin’ on me. Yecch.”
“Ick, that’s a lot of... - Now I got it on me, too… Nope, definitely not Alterra.”
“Well then… Who are they?”
“Beats me, P-2.”
“She’s pretty.”
“Yeah. Oh. She’s crying.”
“Hmmm… Lovers, P-1?”
“Former lovers, I’d say.”
“Yeah… DNA traces of both, here.”
“Might be a good story, P-2.”
“Shhh… he’s coming to. Let’s listen and find out.”

“You know what I miss the most?”
“What’s that, Chloe?”
“My pillow.”
“What?”
“Why is that so surprising?”
“Well, I would have thought - your mom, or your friends, or chocolate…”
“Yeah, I miss those, too. But right now I miss my pillow.”
“What’s so special about it?”
“Oh, I don’t even know… not too soft, not too hard, just the right degree of lumpiness…”
“Lumpiness?”
“Yeah… so you can puff it up.”
“Hmmm… actually, these pillows are pretty comfy, I think.”
“Ugh - that ergonomically correct crap that molds itself to your head. Plus they weigh a ton. And for god’s sake - metallic fabric!”
“What does your pillow look like?”
“Don’t laugh… it’s a Disney princess pillow…”
“A Dis-... For real?”
“Maaaaatt... I said, don’t laugh!”
“Ouch! Ow! Stop it! Hey! No pillow fights with these things!”

“You’re shittin’ me, right?”

“No way I’m getting back into this thing.”
^chirp^
“Because I’m a guy and I’m too tall for this wee little pod!”
^chirp chirp chirp^
“Okay, okay, you’re great in the sack, I’ll hand you that, but I still have a stiff neck from yesterday.”
^tic tic tic^
“Not funny, dude.”

“Well, a pillow would be nice, for starters.”
^e-e-e-e-e-e^
“Square fluffy thing, about yae big, really comfy.”

“All right. I’ll go find one. You go look for a better place, okay?”
^chirrrrrrp^
“Fine. See ya. Tell the others no peeking. They’ll get their turn eventually.”

“… four sons, three daughters, fifteen grandchildren!”
“I’m tired.”
“Aww, Ronnie…”
“Aww, Lisa…”
“D’you remember when we made our first one? You bumped your head so badly TJ had to stitch you back up in the middle of the night.”
“We had no pillows…”
“We had nothing, back then.”
“We had each other.”
“And that was enough, somehow.”
“It was, it was… Now look at the beautiful pillows we have.”
“No more bumping your head…”
“Oh, I still bump my head plenty!”
“Yeah… but you don’t need stitches afterwards.”
“True, true…”
“Anyway, we got these pillows for our 40th anniversary.”
“They’re gorgeous. So soft and fluffy.”
“Perfect for us.”
“Perfect. Like us.”
