The stacked cases of poffins have become normal. They’re a part of the sitting room now. My anxiety spikes every time we move one. I feel compelled to replace the missing ones, but we’ll never be able to consume even these before their use-by date. I can’t even give them away fast enough. We’ve spent weekends throwing boxes at neighbors. I’ve brought cases to the Tower. There’s still no end to them. My life now is just poffins.
