She showed me the test that she was retaking and asked me “Is this okay?” I told her that she could use as much space as she needed and needn’t be afraid of running out of paper to write on. I pulled out my copy to inform her that my exam was over 10 pages long.

As I was walked into the house, I looked through the doorway at the end of the hall. Someone chucked a severed arm down a trapdoor before swiftly slamming it shut. “And this is what you do with the the toes” they said as they picked up a body by the ankle. I backed up and walked out of a glass door to my left only to be followed my someone dragging yet another body while crawling on the floor. “I’m going to punch him” he threatened, “and before that I’m going to punch you.”

We had agreed to take a taxi home together after class. When we were dismissed, the teacher requested to talk to him. She wanted to see the cat that he had brought in toast box with him. “What a waste of a friend”, he muttered while he opened the lid to reveal a black kitten inside. The cat’s left front leg seemed to have been injured.

We were playing Starcraft and someone said how they “never knew units were so cheap” because they never had a proper economy. A few people began to imitate various vocielines from the game with the most noticeable being: " Ready to roll out! " (Seige Tank), " Jacked up and good to go! " (Marine), " Gau’gurah! " (Zealot).

I was sitting in the mall with my mother when I received a snapchat from a friend in Korea. Apparently the streets there were flooded as I watched a car turning onto a road that was already knee-deep under water. I also received news that the streets of Taipei were flooded to a similar degree.

It was the 2nd of [June] and a Tuesday. Someone asked me what I had dreamt on Friday (the 4th) so I had to look through my phone. As this was happening, someone else was trying to talk to me but I didn’t hear any of it.

My grandpa had gone caving by himself but we still needed to get into his house and we didn’t have the keys. We didn’t want the neighbors seeing us pick the lock either so we had to break in through an underground entrance which involved crawling through tight spaces and climbing up cement stairs on all-fours. Once we were inside, we were able to climb a ladder up to the roof and found ourselves at the top of a mountain. I had a pack of gummy bears in my hand and recited “Cupertino Brewery” in an attempt to remember where we were while I struggled to type with the gummies. “That sounds hard to spell” commented my dad.

They were counting down for us to leave before they were going to drop a bomb on us. “These scientists just don’t care!” someone exclaimed. We had our own countermeasures set up in case they really weren’t bluffing and planned to blow us up. When they finally counted down to zero, there was a light fizz in the air as someone jumped up and shouted “Nitrogen!” Both sides had released something meant to counteract some kind of thermal reaction.

The teacher was giving a lecture on living with compassion and how there was more to life than working for 64 hours a day. He shared an anecdote about walking beneath the “Understood tree” by the bridge and finding his purpose in life. Someone in the audience was spamming the powerpoint presentation with Discord notifications that were only visible to other users.

I was having lunch with three separate people who turned out to all be the same girl but from different places in time.
