WANT
"I could be a shut-in," Celia thought to herself, glazed eyes leering at her television, pajama-clad legs bouncing up and down uncontrollably. She began twisting her short fingers into impossible knots; pausing, she noticed the white rim above her left index nail, brought both hands to her mouth, and promptly bit it off. Celia continued her preoccupied contortions as the blood collected just above her cuticle.
Celia was in a decidedly poor humor for no real reason; she couldn't relax out of moodiness, but when she stood up from her veritable nest on the loveseat . . . there was nothing to do. So she flopped down again, back propped up against the armrest, feet straining to fill the space where another body should have been.
Celia's disquiet turned to boredom- with the remote control, she turned off the blaring TV in favor of the radio. With the volume on 'max,' she walked brusquely- harshly- to the kitchen and grabbed an orange off of the counter; she bit the skin savagely and tore at the opening with her stubby, bloody fingers. The orange's acid burned her open wounds and she took her final revenge of total consumption. She left the rind next to the sink and settled unhappily on her made-for-two couch. And she remembered . . . something, though she tried to truncate her mind's wandering path with the noise blasting from her sound system.
"I hate this music," Celia said aloud, but, while ensconced in her hate and angst, a non-apathetic corner of her mind thought of something she had liked- a stare, a voice a smell. She inhaled sharply, angry with herself for allowing this after so many months' repression- but she couldn't stop now. Still shots inundated her mind- she reached frantically for the remote control, trying to drown . . . herself in the all-invasive din. Ah, but to no avail- the volume was already maxed out. Celia collapsed against the arm of her loveseat and- perhaps on the brink of an admission- only managed to declare: I need a new stereo.

I did like this; but I'm really unsure why.
It was nicely done; and gave me something to think about.

I don't get it.

You kind of have to read it carefully. She says she NEEDS a new stereo, but what she WANTS is to be with someone, and she just keeps denying it. It's supposed to be kind of funny.

Short, yes. But it has everything it needs. I love this, though it terrifies me slightly.
