 Internet Problems

“Alright yeah! Let’s do this, I’m ready to go. Just got to look a few things up and then I can get started on this project.” She sits quietly at her desk, watching a short video. It starts to get glitchy and then stops altogether.

*Internet cuts out*

She takes a deep inhale, “Really? It was a four minute video, the internet couldn’t last four minutes?”

*Internet returns*

“Ok cool, it’s back, I’ll just finish the video and then get going on this project.”

*Internet cuts out*

“What?! It just came back on, was it really even back? Was it just pretending to be back to lure me into a false sense of hope?”

*Internet returns*

“Are you back for real this time?” she questions her screen. She hits play and finishes the last thirty seconds of her video. “Ok I think it is good for now,” she says hopefully. She closes the video and opens a new tab, starting her project.

*Internet cuts out*

“You’re joking right? I’m not even doing that much! And I’m the only one using the internet! Why does it keep dying???”

*Internet returns*

“Alright, if it cuts out again, I’m unplugging it and plugging it back in.” She gets to work on her project for a good hour before…

*Internet cuts out*

“That’s it! I’m resetting it, this is ridiculous!” She marches over to her modem and unplugs the power cord. “One, two three…” she softly counts to twenty before plugging the machine back in.

*Internet returns*

She heads back to her computer to finish her project. After spending several more hours, polishing it to perfection, she is almost finished. The internet hasn’t cut out, everything is going great.

*Power goes out*

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
