VIR-bel-mahn | meaning: whirl or chaos
What our neighbors whisper:
Mr. Wirbelman had an incident with a wood chipper. He’s fine. He doesn’t want to talk about it. Mrs. Wirbelman spent three days by his side, and somewhere in those three days — between the strong tea and the sleepless nights — decided she had been meaning to see Catalonia for a very long time. She loves him completely. Her bags are not yet packed, but she’s been folding her collection of floral hoods in a very intentional way.
