Norman was enjoying this rerun of CSI. His focus was disturbed by the refrigerator motor turning on. He noticed that he couldn't hear the conversation quite so well anymore.
Norman usually kept the volume on 5. He picked up the remote and turned the volume up to 6, but it wasn't loud enough to compete with the sound from the fridge. He tried 7. The volume was perfect. But something felt off about 7. He couldn't understand why 7 seemed strange. It was like someone was scraping their nails on a chalkboard but the sound only existed inside his mind. He turned it up to 8. 8 was too loud but at least it wasn't an odd number like 7.
The refrigerator motor turned off. He turned the volume back down to 5 and placed the remote back into its position on the coffee table.
