The sea level rose but only inside certain houses.
On specific Tuesdays.
In homes where someone had once said, “I’m fine,” too many times.
Saltwater ruined the paperwork but left the mirrors untouched.
A fish was found swimming in a wedding glass.
No one knew where it came from.
The couple divorced quietly.
Outside, a woman hung a wet coat on a satellite dish
and muttered,
“That should do it.”
No one disagreed.
