Three Guys Die . Content Warning.
"So, an absurdist, an existentialist, and a nihilist walk into a bar... No, that's not a set up for a bad joke. I'm a prophet and that's our future. The three of us, tonight. Drinks at The Old Tavern." Rudy beams at his friends and pushes his brand-new glasses higher on his nose.

🍕The pizza delivery mystery👀
"There is someone at the front door". Alexa announced in her proper, preppy English voice. Now Dad had just installed a doorbell camera/Alexa informing/bell identification system so one could know when someone comes to the door as no one can hear said bell from way upstairs; thing-a-ma-jig. I don't know much about such things as you can clearly fathom here.

Cosmic Constipation. Honorable Mention in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
These days, the route up to Abra Doon's small stone cottage on Bridestones Moor is heavily militarised. Where once there was a winding, pot-holed country lane navigable only by sheep and the good-tempered, there now lies a broad, slick black tarmac expanse to enable the manoeuvres of tanks, missiles, and personnel. Driving up there, I lost count of how many checkpoints I had to pass through just for one fifteen-minute interview.

Sacrificial Pawn
Fred laid out the chess pieces as he and his best friend Jimmy geared up to play. He dusted off the board with his wrinkled hand, and gestured for his friend to sit after lining up the last of the pawns. Jimmy moved his white pawn first and they played.

A Duel in the Sky?
“In and out,” Wendy mumbled as she walked briskly into Walmart. “Just get in and get out.” Usually Wendy liked not to rush herself when grocery shopping, but time was running out. She had promised to make her friend lasagna tonight only to realize ten minutes ago that her roommate took the can opener with her when she left. And Wendy brought the canned sauce. Luckily, she had a feeling that this might have been the case so she checked for it before she actually started the lasagna. But lasagna took a long time to cook and it was her first time making it.

Chef Nakamura
In the quiet hum of his West Village restaurant, Chef Nakamura slides his blade through a pristine slab of bluefin tuna. “One million and one,” he murmurs. He has counted every slice of fish, ever since starting his first restaurant. His father said a real man avoids frivolous controversy, seeks simple work and dedication. Nakamura had taken those words to heart.

When Integers Attack. Honorable Mention in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
The dreaded SAT starts promptly at 8:30 am in the morning. Too damn early if you ask me. Getting a good score is the only way of getting a scholarship into a decent college (unless you get a B-list actress to pay someone to take the test for you). Ninety of us are packed in like herrings, nine neat rows, entering demographic information in case universities want to contact us directly. Lots of codes and crap to enter: student ID, school, room number, blood type, next of kin, my car’s VIN.
