Immersive Art
Unlocking my front door, I entered my apartment and slammed the door as hard as I could. I was sent home early from work because I was placed on administrative leave for the third time this year, and it was only March. Well, at least it was still with pay, but one more infraction for whatever reason this quarter, and human resources told me they’d have to terminate my employment. To say I was pissed was an understatement, though.

Goose Games. Honorable Mention in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
It had been a long week. A long week at the end of a long month. Eighty percent of Marc's paycheck had been dumped into bills, gas, and groceries. The boss was crawling up his ass over a shipment of lawn flamingos that hadn't arrived at its destination on time. (How urgent could lawn flamingos be? Apparently very.) The cherry on top of the shit sundae was that he had failed to compliment Zach's new haircut with the requisite enthusiasm the other day. A grave sin which he would not soon hear the end of. Marc checked his bank account. Two hundred bucks with four pending charges. By his calculations that gave him about sixty to screw around with. But what to do? Sixty was enough for a nice dinner and a couple of drinks, but he didn't really feel like trying to placate Zach with a date. Especially after he'd stirred up an attitude tsunami over something so stupid. You want a genuine compliment? Maybe don't pay three hundred bucks to shave a portrait of Mao Zedong smoking a blunt onto the side of your head. Sixty dollars could get him thoroughly wasted and purchase a burger, but Marc didn't like the sound of spending Saturday in recovery. What he was really craving was comfort. Nostalgia.

Learning with laugh and Humor
Laughter is one the things that will keep my soul and spirit alive and happy as much as possible everyday and night. I always love to have an adventure with joyful, excitement, and laughter. I also love an something is making me laugh even when I’m feeling down. This is quite challenging for me by making a humor story. It was also surreal, unique, and mysterious about what are my comical adventures from birth to thirty-six.

My Cat Thinks I Work for Her: A Day in My Servitude
Introduction: If you've ever lived with a cat, you know that they own you rather than you own them. As a proud but slightly defeated servant to my feline overlord, Whiskers, I have learned to accept that my life revolves around her needs, whims, and demands. The more I try to establish dominance, the more I realize I’m merely a background character in her kingdom. This is the tale of my daily life, filled with humor, frustration, and an overwhelming sense of inferiority to a creature that weighs barely more than a bag of flour.

I Tried Meditation and Fell Asleep
Introduction The goal of meditation is to bring inner peace, clarity, and insight. But for me, it just brought deep, uninterrupted sleep. When I first decided to try meditation, I had high hopes that I would become more mindful, have less stress, and maybe even discover some of my own wisdom. I, on the other hand, kept drifting off into dreamland. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong. However, it turned out that my unintentional nap gave me a completely new perspective on meditation, relaxation, and what it really means to be mindful. The Decision to Meditate

Just a Cuppa
Jarred from my sleep by the shrill exclamation of my alarm, I dazedly swipe the disable option from my watch, feeling immediate relief at the resulting absence of noise. I grumble (just another part of my daily routine) then shuffle into my boots/stilettos/[texture not found] slippers and meander to the bathroom. I perform my morning ablutions, brushing my teeth while the video game visage peers back at me through lidded, groggy eyes. I chuckle; my ability to visualize is ordinarily non-existent. I must be more tired than I thought.

The Garbage Chute Incident
Ted’s day had been perfectly ordinary up until the moment he threw the trash bag down the garbage chute. He had done this countless times before—open the metal hatch, toss, listen for the distant thud below— you can hear everything from the second floor. Simple. Routine. Nothing remarkable.

Memories, Voices, and the Unexpected Twists of Life
Our minds hold onto memories in peculiar ways. While some people remember names effortlessly, I’ve always found myself associating people with their faces and voices rather than their names. This has led to some heartwarming—and occasionally awkward—experiences.

The Toaster Rebellion
It started like any other morning. I stumbled into the kitchen, half-asleep, barely functioning, and operating entirely on muscle memory. I grabbed two slices of bread—whole wheat, because I was trying to be healthy—and tossed them into the toaster.
