I was on the way home with my dad and we were buying train tickets. These tickets were special in the way that airplane ticket was bundled in as well. There was a line to buy tickets and a line to pass through the gates. These two lines were parallel to each other.

I was trying to find my way out of a bookstore with some friends from elementary school. The way out was to go up. At the top exit of one of the stairwells was an alcove of shirts. There was a sale that advertised one price for as many shirts as you can take within a certain time limit. We were no doubt slowed down by the masses of people gathered at the opening. I think we lost some members of our party as well.

The cult of the “cutest child in the world” was rising in popularity. Although this child was all over the media, one of the reasons people fawned over him was because he was “not interested in entertainment.”

I was walking through a bookstore and while we walked by a shelf of comic anthologies, a friend picked out an especially thick volume as he turned to ask, “who would actually read from a book bound in such a large tome?”

My father got a cramp in his leg while doing yoga stretches. He said this was why his legs were always so short.

I opened my drawer to find that mini milky way bars were scattered along with my stationary.

We were watching some kind of sports game and I was sitting at one of the corners at the very front of the bleachers. I couldn’t find my parents and suddenly the players were gone as well. Apparently our seats had descended and now we were looking at an identical field one story below the original. It felt a bit like a parking lot, with its concrete pillars and walls.

We were performing an experiment to determine the power consumption of a TI-86 calculator. Part of this experiment involved dropping a concrete bust from a skyscraper and measuring the energy gained when it hit the ground. We would then measure how long it took for the bust to cool down afterwards. This cooling process was expected to last a whole night. However, due to the value of the sculpture we wanted to test, we instead used replicas that were busts of a young boy and girl.

My aunt revealed to me how my family lied to my brother to trick him into returning to Taiwan. One such lie had to do with someone’s height and another had to do with the fact that some private organization disguising as a charity group got underfunded.

I was walking through the schoolyard with a couple friends as we saw children walking across the lawn with their arms linked. There must of been a continuous chain of at least a hundred or so elementary kids. I suggested to the person next to me that perhaps it was their first day of class. “I don’t think so”, he replied. I looked at my watch to see that it was November 1st, Wednesday. I kept silent but still held on to the notion that it was their first day.
