Screen

This screen doesn't just keep bugs out of your house; it's far more sophisticated. It keeps out nasty smells, too. Also, bad dreams. Ill intentions. Full-moonlight (the kind that turns lycanthropes into werewolves). Self-doubt. Sibling envy. Boorishness. Memories of the time your supposed friend pantsed you in gym class, directly in front of the girl you were going to ask to the PTA fundraising fair. It even keeps out stomach flu, bad nerves before a big presentation, and bouts of insomnia thinking about missed opportunities to become something great. It screens out everything negative—except rudeness. We’re still working on that.
