Bonus Episode 3: "How I Live My Life According To My Friend Simon's Advice"

This is Drabbletober, the podcast of tiny fiction.Hello, and welcome to Drabbletober. This is an occasional bonus episode, for the first of June, 2025. I'm Elizabeth Guilt.Your one-hundred word story for the day is: How I Live My Life According To My Friend Simon's AdviceSimon once told me that you forget things when you walk through doors. I laughed, but he was right. I started writing grocery lists in the kitchen. When travelling, I packed toiletries in the bathroom.At work, I preferred to talk to colleagues at my desk so information didn't fall into meeting-room doorways. Eventually, I found it easier to work from home; catch up with friends over Zoom; order my food online.I pulled my bed into the living room. Then my wardrobe, then a camping stove. A hose. A bucket. I sit at the centre.And I remember everything.---Simon is a real person, by the way, although I don't think he listens to this podcast. He really did tell me about what's known as the Doorway Effect. I haven't quite reached the extremes in this story. Not yet.---Take care, everyone, and I'll see you again sometime.https://www.elizabethguilt.com/drabbletober/june1bonus
