Door Ajar

Later that day, I caught my first glimpse of Len as he sat, door ajar, in his recliner in his room, huddled up under several blankets, watching an old movie on television.
​ 
If I was ever going to offer him music I would need to proceed slowly so I just slowed long enough to wave at him and then moved on to another patient's room.


But I was curious about the television volume. It was turned off.

​Why do you think Len has the television volume turned off? Guesses welcome.
