The Answer
A short story by : HU , Diqin
Jane stood outside the locked door, it is 11:55 p.m., 5 minutes before a brand-
new day and 2 hours after work.
It was raining season, but she forgot.
She was digging through her bag when the memory of this morning came back.
Another day with a mask, but she was certain that her neighbor had a poker
face as usual.
She seemed hesitant to say hi that morning.
It was unusual; however, Jane got up late. She anxiously pressed the elevator
button.
As she dragged her blanket, tired, she found a paper bag with a note:
To neighbor,
I found it on the ground.
Also, here are some biscuits from my wife.
Have a good day.
Li
“The biscuits were so good.”
