I am in my friend’s home, actually her grandmother’s home. She is there with her father and grandmother. They live in a foreign country. I feel great being there. I notice this interesting green thread that is seemingly perfectly rolled. I am curious about this thread, and I started to touch it and hold it. As I do that, the thread gets impossibly tangled, and now, I am nervous to tell my friend that I ruined it.
My friend is briefly annoyed with me, but quickly proceeds to untangle the thread. Her father and grandmother got involved to help her. They had to string the thread across the entire house to get it untangled. It resembled a movie scene when detectives use a thread at the scene of the crime. The whole place looked like a spider web. Eventually, they were able to untangle the string and roll it back together. We all had a sigh of relief and continued as if nothing had happened.
