Pete is not lazy.

He is just… cooked.

The alarm goes off.

He hears it.

He just does not move.

Five more minutes becomes ten.

Ten becomes tomorrow.

Pete knows he should get up.

He just does not have the energy.

Because when you are cooked,

even small things feel big.

It starts with "I will do it later."

Later becomes this afternoon.

This afternoon becomes tomorrow.

Pete is not worried about it.

He is conserving energy.

The sun is shining.

The chair is comfortable.

The world can slow down.

Pete is not rushing anywhere.

Because when you are cooked,

sometimes the best thing to do…

Is absolutely nothing.
