shade

Description

A shade is a fabric contraption that hides a room under the pretense of blocking glare while ushering its occupants into laziness. Purported to protect from the sun, it quietly transforms any space into a dimly lit hideout. Each pull of the cord reveals its owner’s knack for both sloth and energy-saving theatrics. Its heavy drapes collect dust with the zeal of a motivational thief, stealing more willpower than daylight. In the end, it remains unchallenged as merely an ‘aesthetic’ prop, refusing to budge from its perch.

Definitions

• Supposedly the archenemy of glare, yet the true culprit behind self-made darkness.
• Promising artful shadows, in reality a breeding ground for dust and apathy.
• Behaves like a conqueror of light while remaining a primitive device governed by a cord.
