A man narrates of his relationship with his father, a traveling salesman. The narrator explains that he and his father bond over packing
luggage, unique ways of arranging clothes, shoes, and accessories, and filling up all the space in the
suitcase; the narrator's mother attempts to pack her husband's things but lacks the skills. By the time the narrator turns 12, he packs his father's suitcase just the way the salesman wants it; every time the narrator's father sees how everything is in place, he texts his son with a single word, "Perfect." Now an adult, the narrator continues packing his things the same way his father does. One day, the narrator's father dies and when he looks into the casket, the narrator thinks his father would have complained of the "wasted space" around his corpse. ==Reception==
