If I don't laugh… I'll go crazy

First paragraph: A morning unfit for human use

Saeed woke up feeling like someone had restarted him while he was asleep but forgot to reset the settings. The alarm rang, wouldn't stop, and turned into a war cry. Saeed got up and slapped it. The alarm fell, the battery flew out, and his phone said, "Yes, sir, I'm turning off completely."

He got out of bed and tripped over his slippers. The slippers broke in two; one went under the bed, and the other ran towards the kitchen. Saeed said,

"Not now, guys."

He went into the bathroom and turned on the tap… the water flowed for a minute and then disappeared as if it had gone on vacation without permission. While he was washing his face, the water heater decided to give him a life-changing shock.

He went to get dressed, but his shirt was on inside out, his pants were too tight, and as he tried to button them up, he heard a "click"… the button had declared its independence.

His mother called out,

"Saeed, breakfast's going to get cold!"

He went inside and found the cat sitting on the plate, the bread on the floor, and the tea tasting of onions.

Saeed looked up at the sky and said,

"Oh God... what have I done to upset you?"

Second paragraph: Public Transportation... An Experience of Leaving the Soul

He went down to the street and found a minibus parked but empty. He was happy. He got on. In a second, it was packed with 27 people and a bag of potatoes.

The driver played music so loud it would make the speakers sue. The vehicle hit a speed bump, and everyone was thrown. One of them said,

"Ouch, my back!"

Saeed said,

"My back was already broken before I got on."

The minibus stopped suddenly. The driver got out cursing the tires, the tires cursing the street, and the street was innocent.

People got out to push, and Saeed joined them. As he pushed, he realized this wasn't just a minibus... it was his whole day. The car suddenly started, one person fell out, another screamed, and Saeed barely managed to get into the car, laughing hysterically.

Paragraph Three: Work… An Administrative Comedy

He arrived at work 6 minutes and 3 seconds late. The manager gave him a look that said, "I was expecting you."

"Why the lateness?"

"Time."

"Sign up a pledge."

He sat at his desk. The computer refreshed, the screen went black, and the mouse wouldn't move.

His colleague said,

"You look exhausted."

"That's how I look."

They asked him for an urgent report. He worked, saved it, and then the power went out.

When it came back on, the computer opened to an old game.

Saeed said,

"That's it… I'm not going to resist."

Paragraph Four: The Lunch That Became a Legend

He went down to eat. He ordered koshari with extra gravy.

The first spoonful… he sneezed.

The koshari flew away. Sauce on his shirt, lentils in his hair, pasta on the floor.

The restaurant went silent.

Saeed stood up and said,

"Someone film this... this moment is historic."

Someone filmed it. A video went viral with the title:

"The Man Who Challenged Koshari and Lost Honorably."

The comments were fire, memes started appearing, and Saeed became a symbol of laughing misery.

Paragraph Five: The Return... A Breakdown of Laughter

He returned home, the elevator was out of order, he climbed the stairs talking to himself.

He opened the door, the chair broke, he sat on the floor.

The cat looked at him with pity.

Saeed laughed. He laughed until tears streamed down his face.

He said,

"If I don't laugh... I'll go crazy."

Paragraph Six: Laughter as a Defense Means

He opened his phone, found messages:

"You made us laugh."

"The day was awful until I saw you."

Saeed smiled.

He said,

"The tiredness is there... but laughter is a weapon." He went to sleep planning to wake up the next day…

Not stronger

But I laughed more 🤪😂
