Only four more hours until we ring in the new year. Another 365 days passed. I just have to stay awake a little longer. To me, this is similar to staying up to see Santa as a child. My eyes are dozing off, and my head keeps bowing towards unconsciousness. I want to leave the…

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 call Steph and bitch to…

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 – I’m searching about the…

“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 say I love…”

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 were avoiding, bringing us closer…

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 been a good person, made…

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 more difficult to complete each…

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. You were not born with impeccable writing skills. It is a muscle that needs regular flexing and exercise. Stories are important to tell in whatever medium we like, and vastly across multiple avenues. You don’t have to master them all.…

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…
