Lock

The world was full of locked doors, and he had to get his hand on every key.

Leslie: Did you lock both the doors?

Me: (pause) I think so. I definitely just locked the back door.

Leslie: Well, if you locked the front door, you would have done that right before you locked the back door, right?

Me: Yes. (pause) I just don't remember if I locked the front door. I did a lot of thinking between the front door and the back door.
