Yea, my love, I ventured forth when the sun was but low in a grey and forbidding sky, and although the journey was perilous, filled with icy rivers to cross, and unpaved roads, fraught with travellers whose intentions I could not surmise, and dangerously close to the slumbering giant in his steaming contraption, still did I brave these dangers and more to bring to you, my most beloved, the three objects of our heart's desire:

  • the white substance which makes your morning drink palatable
  • the cleansing paper, brought forth from the primeval forest
  • and those magical orbs, white without, and golden within, which nurtures both the body and the mind on such a day as this
I didn't get any bread, though, since the bread at the 24-hour store is overpriced and crappy. Besides, I think the loaf we have on top of the microwave is still good.
