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 for a while now. Hello,…

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 orange sea. Good morning, splendid…

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 they have signed up for. …

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 the world around us. Every…

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 my pajamas on and get…

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 in this feeling. I see…

“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 of nostalgia wash over you.”…

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 changed. Imploding, shifting, dying, whatever…

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 been in the grifting business…

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 home, and randomly and mysteriously…

All of my stationery is starting to run dry. My pens are missing the strokes I put to paper. The highlighters look dull. It’s not how it’s supposed to be. I need my stationery working in order to keep creating. I can’t make art without my tools. This isn’t fair! I could just buy new…

“98% complete. Please do not turn off until uploaded.” I am so close now. I can see the progress bar nearly there. Almost. “Error occurred. Restart download?” I click the button to see the progress bar back to the beginning. “0%”. Nooooooooo! This can’t be happening, as now I have to wait another hour again.

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 spend together, we immediately bonded…

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 to do anything else that…

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 her life. I’m obsessed with…

Big stadiums. Big flashy lights. Pyro programmed and loaded for the show. Screaming fans. Loud! That’s me! I’m not one of these elements alone, but the extravaganza event of a lifetime. I am the main event. I’m big and flashy and fun, and also the party that creates lifelong memories for people. It’s why I’m…

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 also. They have no filter…

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 belong. Quirky is wonderful and…
