Satirical
The Art of the Fowl. Runner-Up in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
Chuck yawned in perfect sync with the buffering sun. Another day, another bit of grain. He rolled out of bed. Lethargic, he shuffled to the fridge. Empty. He sighed. The grocery store it was then. He hated shopping more than most things in the world but the recent glitch in the Zon-am algorithm had left orders scrambled again. Bacon replaced by potato chips, cheese with chalk and once, a screwdriver substituting a cucumber.

The Grocery Store Conspiracy: When Bananas Plot Against You
The Day My Groceries Turned Against Me Have you ever had a routine trip to the grocery store turn into a full-blown existential crisis? I have. It all started on a perfectly normal Tuesday when I reached for a loaf of bread, only to hear it whisper, "Are you sure about that?" What followed was an odyssey involving telepathic produce, a cashier with a PhD in conspiracy theories, and a rogue shopping cart determined to alter my destiny.

Alternative Therapies for Varicocele: Homeopathy and Other Natural Remedies
Varicocele and Alternative Treatments Varicocele can be described as a medical problem which is caused by the swelling of veins of the scrotum, particularly in the pampiniform, or plexus which is a set of veins that drain testosterone from testicles. This condition is common and affects 15% of men and more often occurs among males who are infertile. Varicoceles tend to be unnoticeable however, in some cases they can trigger discomfort or pain. They can also cause infertility. If the veins of the scrotum grow they can raise the temperature of the testicles. This may affect the production and function of sperm and lead men to be infertile. Most of the time they are detected by ultrasound, physical examination or other imaging techniques.

Laundry Day
Paul had been dragging his feet for two weeks, but there was no beating around the bush anymore. He'd worn the same pair of boxer shorts for three days in a row, after turning them inside-out of course. Also, he wasn't sure his boss would deem a pair of polka-dot Bermuda shorts - the only clean pants he had left - work appropriate. Even his bedsheets could do with a wash. With great reluctance, he stuffed the entire contents of his hamper into an oversized drawstring bag and hauled it down the five flights of stairs to the laundry room in his apartment complex's basement.

Progressively Worse. Content Warning.
I got to the parking lot of my office and my spot was taken. Normally, I’d try to not let this bother me, but my name was on this spot. I worked hard all year for the promotion to assistant regional manager, and in addition to the slight pay bump, the parking spot next to the office was the only other benefit.
