A young guy stabbed the question like a flaming torch at someone who'd opened a pretty bare cupboard in the kitchen.
"Maybe. Hungry. No."
"I think you are."
The person took a box of macaroni out of the cupboard, put it next to an old stove on a cracked counter. Opened lower cupboard doors searching for a cooking pot. "So you (i)think(i) you know me?" A small thud on the counter top indicated the salt had turned moist, then hard. Tap water turned on to fill the pot ran a reddish brown. "How did it get like this?"
