Three More by Trent Walters

Someone knocked at Mary’s door. Chimes tinkled. She opened the door without checking the peephole. “Who is it?”

“Merry Christmas.” From behind his back, he hauled a clear crystal chandelier.

“What’s this?”

“A vase. How’s your eyesight?”

“Better.” The apartment's ceiling had space for three more.
