On buttering the popcorn evenly.

[Aristotelis Orginos]

I work at the movie theater on the local highway. When i butter the popcorn, i remember to shake the bag, to spread the butter evenly. I remember my brother telling me when i was younger to shake the bag that had just come out of the microwave. To spread the butter evenly. He was sitting at the kitchen table and his cup of coffee was half empty. That was the last time i ever saw him.

You've piqued our curiosity.

Wow. Your last line could mean so many things. You have me curious: did the bag explode, burning him up? Did he go to war? Did he go to the store for a carton of milk and never come back, like some husbands do? Or just vanish into thin air, like a ghost in a movie?
