May The Cakes be with You
"What the hell are you munching on now? The play's about to start!" Rosie whispered harshly at Robert and scowled. "That hippy parent with the dreads was selling homemade Rocky Road," Robert replied. "Oh, don’t be such a misery luv, it all goes towards the school funds."

My Favorite Bottle
When I was six or seven years old, my mother, father, sister, brother and our neighbours went on a memorable trip. It was the first time I had witnessed a waterfall in real life, and I was left in wonder. It was so beautiful that (in my child brain) it was as if clouds were raining from the blue sky overhead. The waterfall was named Bopath Falls, and it was a place I would never forget.

Three Guys Die . Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
"So, an absurdist, an existentialist, and a nihilist walk into a bar... No, that's not a set up for a bad joke. I'm a prophet and that's our future. The three of us, tonight. Drinks at The Old Tavern." Rudy beams at his friends and pushes his brand-new glasses higher on his nose.

Teethpaste. Second Place in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
Lumps of brown enamel tumble off my brush and cascade down the basin. The teethpaste has decayed again. Damn. Since the tariffs, Chinese tooth imports have shrunk, all Mexican molars are getting stopped at the border, and the Canadians have responded with their own tooth-for-a-tooth restrictions. All I can afford is this nasty, flaky paste made of ground-up 'Murican dental waste and crack-hen's teeth.

The Great Avocado Uprising
Norman Blinksworth just wanted an avocado. That was all. A single, ripe avocado something that, in theory, should have been an uneventful purchase. But of course, Norman lived in a universe that had long abandoned logic in favour of chaos, and so this would become the day that the produce section finally snapped.

🍕The pizza delivery mystery👀 . Top Story - March 2025.
"There is someone at the front door". Alexa announced in her proper, preppy English voice. Now Dad had just installed a doorbell camera/Alexa informing/bell identification system so one could know when someone comes to the door as no one can hear said bell from way upstairs; thing-a-ma-jig. I don't know much about such things as you can clearly fathom here.

Let Me Out
It’s finally Friday! After a full day of teaching, it feels like my energy has been drained. So, I decided to do something for myself—give myself a little gift, just like I do for my students. Maybe it’ll cheer me up. I jumped into my car, buckled up, and got ready for my next adventure to the store. Strangely, my face wasn’t smiling. It was serious, as if this were a routine every single Friday. Or maybe it was! Was I shopping last Friday too? I can’t quite remember. Well, after thirty, everything changes—that’s what they say, right?
