Edna enjoyed the aroma of her morning coffee as she sat in her favorite chair by the bay window. She took the morning newspaper out of its plastic wrap and spread the various sections on the end table.
“Morning,” Ed said cheerfully as he picked up the sports section and started to walk away.
“Where are you going?”
Ed looked back and smiled, but didn’t break his stride. “To the office.”
Edna shooed him away and turned her focus back to the headline article about the presidential election. She looked up moments later after hearing a familiar sound.
SWOOOOOOOOOOSH.
