We Don't Live Here Anymore

“Adultery is a way of life.”

Jack and Hank are best friends who spend their nights drinking and trading wives. It feels less like passion and more like a slow leak in a tire.

Edith keeps her house spotless while her soul feels like it is rotting. She uses the chores to drown out the sound of her own loneliness.

“We don’t have to tell each other everything.”

The characters talk about love constantly. But they mostly use words to hide what they are actually doing to each other.

Nobody in this story seems to know how to be alone. They jump into other people's beds just to avoid sitting with themselves for an hour.
