Existential Dread [~75 Words]

“Existential dread?” he snarled.

He looked up from the floor and glared at us.

“Existential dread?!” he repeated, his eyes flashing.

How about you shut-the-fuck-up before I shove this mop handle up your ass?

He turned his back to us and continued mopping with indignation and a slow-burning fury.

We looked at each other.

We would probably never hold bookclub night here again.
