Walkthrough

It's a beautiful two story home. Stranded on a country backroad.

The agent is giving me the walkthrough. In between every room he asks about my pre-approval. I tell him I am approved for $1,000,000.

Here's the kitchen, the living room. And here's the master bedroom. This bathroom has a bidet.

Young couple enters. He turns his attention. I want to see the bathroom again. I sneak away.

I pass them on my way downstairs to leave. As I open the front door I hear, "What the fuck!" I yell back, "Sorry man, I just had to take a shit."

The brief
Constraint
