Lucy and Elizabeth have been married for years. Their relationship is comfortable but there's something lacking, some spark. Lucy lays on her bed and masturbates as she dreams, "You get to a certain point in your life where you lose that spark. Things don't get worse, they become flat. Your days fill up with the same mundane tasks. Your relationships stabilize. Everything is nice. Everything is fine. Its a life that makes my skin crawl. Is this all there is?"
