I arrived at what seemed to be some kind of summer camp but was unable to find my assigned group. I asked if the age groups were supposed to be mixed and someone told me that they were if you were in an “EU group”. One of the older kids was to demo to the younger children how to score the most points for their team. His method was to post more in the forums - especially strings of images. The projector showed his profile had about 1300 posts while mine only had 8 as I didn’t care much for the site.

17:06. I walked towards the bus stop as she handed me a $5 cup of coffee. We had arranged this delivery to happen everyday- afterwards I would get onto the bus that she just got off from. No words needed to be exchanged nor did any of us have to stop walking past each other.

I was walking through a garden when a group of acquaintances had spotted me. I told them that I went to school nearby when they revealed they were going to the same college and now was their orientation. I followed them for they wanted to see what the ceramics workshop was like. On the way someone commented that I looked like I was looking for love. I joked that I would only do it this year for I would be too busy my junior year. I had entered the room for only a moment before I backed out, realizing that I’ve been here before. There were people playing soccer in what seemed to be a warehouse for storing tanks. There were two rows of them stuck to the ceiling as well as many more scattered about.

I looked away as someone told me that I had become a nobody to them. When I asked, they had said that they removed any traces of us knowing each other from their lives. I looked down at the tiles in front of the school gates. I felt a sense of relief when they said they had literally only been happy since I was gone.

I sat on a bench outside of the classroom recording the previous night’s dream* while waiting for the teacher to come out. I was still writing in my notebook when the person next to me snatched it out of my hands and started flipping through it. I let him look through it as I figured it wouldn’t be very comprehensible to anyone but myself anyways.

I was sitting in the metro with my laptop out and watching a video about how to prepare bell peppers. Some of my clothes fell out of my backpack so when it came time to get off at a transfer station, I was too late to get through the closing doors. When I turned back, I saw a stranger inviting me to sit back into my old seat even through the car was mostly empty.

I was one of the last to leave the house as our family was going to bike to the airport to catch the flight for our holiday. When I got onto the street, I rode my bike very slowly for I had the feeling that I was forgetting something. When I looked back and saw someone locking the front door, I suddenly remembered that my wallet and keys were still on my bookshelf upstairs.

I was cleaning out my locker as the academic year was ending soon. When I finished taking out the stack of books in the front, I finally found those that had been missing since the beginning of the year. They must have fell behind one day and I never bothered looking before getting new copies. I was about to close the door when I realized I nearly left behind my grades and other documents on the bottom.

I had about 30 minutes left before I had to leave for class but I was suddenly given a task to do in the morning. I was to buy and raise 4 ducklings and was told that I would be compensated for my work. I was given some extra cash in order to make the initial investment.

It was getting dark and everyone was trying to hide from something. My friends had gone into an abandoned building and closed the door behind them. I banged on the door, apologizing that I was late and to let me in. When I entered, there was about five or six of us but we were unable to lock any of the doors. The windows had glass shutters which we closed as the sun was setting. When I gave the door a nudge from the inside, it was enough to be noticeable from people running outside. I pushed against the person was trying to barge in before they had found another way in. I used a plastic chopstick to secure the door before moving onto the other one.
