A big thank you to lil for editing this for me: The Cocoon "Wouldn't you love to have a cocoon for a bed?" Sitting on the remake of a mid-century modern chair, he shrugged, confused both by her question and by the price tag in his hand. Under his breath, to nobody he muttered, "I don't understand." "You know, a cocoon that we could sleep in that would envelope us and keep us both warm and safe." She gave him a look that said, I'm not kidding, this means something to me. With that, he stood up quickly, pointed the gun and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. She took the gun from his hand, pointed it at the price tag on the chair and pulled the trigger again until it beeped. He looked annoyed and said, "This place is way too expensive. We never should have registered here.... and why the fuck would I want a cocoon?"
