Title: Socialist Grocery

[Panel 1]: Sebastian and their partner, Maggie, sit from across the table from one another in a kitchen filled with potted plants. The two chat while looking at their phones; Sebastian drinks a cup of coffee.
Narration: I wonder what stage of life we’re in when we wake up and sit on our phones together.
Sebastian: I finally found this one ‘Tech Deck’ dude on eBay I’d been searching for… only $10.
Maggie: Did you know that George Michael was a COMMUNIST?

[Panel 2]: Sebastian and Maggie sit side by side on a coach and continue to chat as Sebastian shows Maggie a song on his phone, and Maggie listens while sipping coffee.
Sebastian: I’ll play you the song I’ve had stuck in my head all week.
Maggie: Oh, cool, sounds like ‘They Might be Giants?’
Sebastian: Unfortunately, this is from ‘Veggie Tales.’

[Panel 3]: Sebastian– wearing his hair is tied up into a pony tail, a hoodie, and boxer briefs– hunches over a butcher block in the kitchen, emptying a can of tuna into a bowl.
Narration: I wonder what stage of life I’M in…

[Panel 4]: Close-up aerial view of Sebastian’s hand holding the can of nearly emptied tuna over the bowl and a salt and pepper shaker
Narration: … when I’m in my underwear, making tuna salad alone on my day off, my edible hits, and…

[Panel 5]: Sebastian looks disoriented and sickly as he slouches and removes the hairband from his hair with his right hand
Narration: … I need to take out my tight ponytail because I’m listening to Kylie Minogue on full blast in the background and I’m on the verge of a sensory overload.
