Ringing the Resistance
50-Word Microfiction Challenge Entry (Part 1 or is it Part 2 of Warning From the Future)
Tinnitus - that annoying ringing I've had since I was a teen.
I loathed it - hearing sounds no one else could hear.
Until three weeks ago.
Now, tinnitus is why I'm still alive. It helps me see them clearly, tendrils and all.
Time to fight back!

The Calm and Collectiveness Of Hobby Living Is A Thing
As we live the lives that we want to live through doing the hobbies that we do, what happens? Are we doing them in a rush or do we do them slowly so that we get the most that we can out of them? What makes our hobbies and life calm and collected? Is it just the way that we do things, or is it how we show the world that we do things? Is it how we act while we live and do the hobbies that we enjoy? I think that it could be a little bit of everything I just listed and that is what makes life and hobbies what they are. What makes a hobby calm and collective? Well it is the way that we do them and what we get out of them. For example, if we take our hobbies outside because they are things like walking we take them out into nature when the weather is nice and become one with nature. When this happens we let our minds go and relax into what the world has to offer us. So we pick the hobbies that we enjoy and bring us the most calm and collectivism and that is how we live. The more we live calmly and collectively the better we feel. How is it that we can live calmly and collectively by doing the hobbies we enjoy? Well, we pick hobbies that help us clear our minds.
