Practical Things

2013 · 5 min · ★ 5.0 · Romance

Two girls meet as one shows the other to her new locker and gives her the combination. The locker has been stuck with super-glue, a classic practical joke, one girl explains. They stand at the locker while the other complains about how she is tired of having simple information flickering around in her head, and wants to have a real, emotional experience.
