Flash Fiction 6. US of A. Calcium Def & A Pilot Light.

 She was looking down. Wondering if he would go down in the secular basement to check the foundation obviously. Who and why. A VP. He is sitting on the sofa obviously ignoring the strange game. Why aren't you looking at me said a thousand or a million or a billion. Obviously she knows plumbing better than I do. It's safe down there. No one knows. A manly cavern.
