  • Victim Cards Shuffle

    I have to give my deck of victim cards a shuffle before deciding what my excuse is today. I need constant validation and need people to coddle me for contributing nothing to society. Today is… drumroll please… being a bad friend. I can definitely work with this. It’s time to…

  • easily Distracted

    I want top be working on my passion project, I really do, but I keep finding fun distractions. The time for focus keeps turning into zoning out on a strange detail in the wall plaster I’ve never seen before, then putting my favourite music on, then – a blink later…

  • EMERGENCY: CODE URGENT HELP

    “If you are hearing this, I need help. I’m bleeding out on the corner of Thompson Road and Cisile Street. Quickly! Please call 9-1-1! I know for certain that I don’t have long left. The blood is draining from my head, and this may be the last time that I…

  • Trust in the Universe

    I’m a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. Every break up leads to finding the perfect soulmate. Every job I get fired from leads me to my dream company I’m meant to be at. Every argument with a family member has forced us to have difficult conversations we…

  • Deathbed Narcacism

    I wonder to myself what people will think about me – remember me by – once I’m dead. I’m holding onto my final breaths, each more painful than the last, so no better time to question my legacy. Not a single person should have any bad will towards me. I’ve…

  • To-Do List

    I have so much on my to-do list. The list goes on and on. Everything I didn’t finish yesterday got piled into today’s list, and today’s unfinished business will join tomorrow’s to-do list. On and on and on forever. The list just keeps extending longer and longer. Each day becomes…

  • No plans Ahead

    My calendar is…empty. Nothing today. Nor tomorrow. No plans all weekend. No events this week, or this month. The blank squares stare longingly at me, but I have other ideas. It’s the perfect time to catch up on some sleep and get through the movie watchlist I’ve been sitting on…

  • Nonsensical Nighttime

    Nothing makes sense. Every dream situation occurring simultaneously. Chickens fly on trucks while spiders run for government positions. Each book has its own personality, and zebras hold traffic signs for the elephants passing by. It’s strange to look out the window and see a blue ocean, instead of the usual…

  • Experiment Series TX42-9:

    I was always of the strong belief  that animal and human genetics should never be crossbred. Unfortunately, my colleagues and superiors have decided that these experiments will be the pinical in the science arms race against other nations. I see the experimental patient’s look in their eyes, unaware of what…

  • Writing Advice

    As a writer myself, here are some writing tips I have picked up over time.  This is open to conversation, disagreement or likeness. This advice is all my opinion, and I’m open to be proven ‘wrong’ about certain points.  Bonus tip: 10. Creativity is subjective. So is how we perceive…

  • Mundaneness

    Today I go through the same routine that I do every day. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens to me, and that suits me just fine. I work, I clean the house, I sleep, and I start again.  LKook, the sun is beginning to set. It’s time to put…

  • Dead Musician’s Support Group

    Being dead has been difficult to adjust to. My fingers are itching to get back to the strings of my instrument. I am constantly tapping my foot to an imaginary beat. Music was my everything in life, and the afterlife of silence is agonising.  It turns out, I’m not alone…

  • Nostaglia Television

    “Welcome to the 24/7 Nostaglia Network. We aim to bring back fond memories with television shows you used to watch when you were much younger. On our network, we promise to deliver nothing but reruns of forgotten memories of programs. Sit back, relax and allow yourself to feel the rush…

  • The Vastness of Space

    There is so much beyond what we understand about the universe. There are worlds that exist far away, much further than what we know about the space near Earth’s position. When we look up at the stars, all these lightyears away, they are changing before we even realise they have…

  • Addicted to Scamming

    I’m of the impression that making money should be easy. And I mean really easy, where I barely have to put effort in to make money kind of easy. One foolproof step: come up with a get-rich-quick scheme and try replicating the next scheme when the first is exposed.  I’ve…

  • Sneeze Powers

    Every time I sneeze, I lose my bearings. It would be all good if I got disorientated from the up and down movement, but I teleport to a different location with each sneeze. Yesterday, I sneezed and ended up in Paris.  It’s frustrating to pay for all my plane tickets…

  • Interdimensional Friendship

    It’s not often that I get to catch up with my friend. Unfortunately, the first time our paths crossed was a fluke accident where a portal from his world and my world opened up at the exact same location. Different worlds in different universes. In the time we got to…

  • Each Passing Second

    I watch the hands on the clock face slowly tick by. Each. Excruciating. Second. I’ve gone into waiting mode before I’m meant to be getting ready and heading off to work. There is absolutely other things I could be working on in these long hours, but my mind is refusing…

  • My Obsession

    She is so beautiful. I love admiring her everywhere she goes. I know all her favourite coffee places and where she gets her hair done. I’ve read through her diary and know every detail of her life. My camera roll is filled with photos of her posing and living out…

  • Time Traveller Camp

    My parents sent me to summer camp this year, despite being sixteen and way too old for this crap. They’ve never sent me to camp before this either. It’s going to be so embarrassing to be the oldest kid in the room amongst prepubecent children. Little kids freak me out…

  • Kingdom of Misfits

    Nothing makes sense in this world, yet that’s where the beauty lies. Houses are all designed in unique architecture and colours. People dress as they please. Art culture is overflowing in abundance.  We created this safe haven for those who don’t know their place in the world, or where they…
