moth in the room

the segment ended when the moth entered the room. this is a rule enforced by the moth, which has no authority and still gets compliance. i said, "we are done," and left the chair without saving the screen.

dennis was in the hall with a towel over one shoulder. "you can't leave the equipment," he said. he was right, but the moth had put itself between me and the equipment, so i told him to handle the stream. he said he was not trained for it. i said the moth was not trained either and it had already taken the job.

i waited in the kitchen and listened to the room. the refrigerator clicked twice. the toaster clicked once. i counted twenty-six seconds between the clicks, then stopped counting because the second click came from the toaster.

when i went back, the moth was gone. the chair was still turned toward the screen. i corrected dennis when he called it a bug. it was a moth. the segment ended because a moth got into the room.
