So every time I come home, I turn the corner and expect to see my apartment door wide open and having been burgled.

I also expect to find cat pee any and everywhere.

I have an excellent reason for the latter: my cat gets UTIs all the time and is also very territorial. I’ve learned to keep everything off the floor.

For the first, my childhood home was robbed not even a month after I and my belongings moved out.

So, for both of those, there is a sensible reason, yes?

However, every time I open my car’s trunk, I expect to find a dead body, even though I have never left a dead body in my trunk. It’s just a momentary wonder and a tiny sense of relief when there is not in fact a dead body in the trunk.

And, every time I open a stall door in a public bathroom? I ALSO expect, for just a second, to find a body.

Thankfully, of these four expectations, only the cat pee has ever borne out. I have no idea why I keep expecting to find dead bodies.
