Faded Sewer

The bathroom floor of the rental house was always clogged, and he squatted on the floor every night to clean his tangled hair, as if he was clearing out some accumulated emotions. One day she found a faded ring stuck in the drain - the one she had lost five years ago. He held the ring tightly, and the ticking sound of the faucet suddenly became clear. It turns out that some things never really disappear, they just sink in the gaps of life, waiting to be fished out of the water again by some sudden blockage.
