854 - SMIRK

Ken sat down on the Recliner after a busy day at work. He wanted some peace and quiet but the house was noisy, with the children arguing or practicing the drums and the wife gossiping away on the phone. All the while the TV was on what seemed like full volume. Ken got up and went to the fuse cupboard, put his phone torchlight on and turned off all the electricity, then shot back to his seat, put on his headphones and started playing some gentle Chopin with a self-satisfied smirk on his face. The rest of the house was in disorder for quite a while as no one could see much for a few minutes before anyone could start trying to to get the electricity back on. Ken, meanwhile, was dozing peacefully, his eyes closed in reverie.
