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.

Drowning in Orange Juice
This morning started like any other morning in the life of a distraught, middle-aged man recently laid off. As has been the case since January, a bloated orange, smirking from within the greedy fingers of a pale, buggish alien, headlined each article as I doom-scrolled in avoidance of the encroaching day.

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?
