I walked into my bedroom upstairs. It was rather large and dark inside, although I could see it was still midday from the sunlight shining between the gaps of the drawn curtains. The floor was carpeted. There was water spraying in from the windows while it also “rained” from the ceiling. I walked to the far end of the room and sat down at my desk with two computers. One of them had a CRT monitor.

I was keeping the older computer around because it had some important emails to do with Canadian immigration on it that I never backed up anywhere else. I opened up Discord and noticed that some servers had a dark blue dot on their icons. I looked through my friends server which had a dot and noticed that some of the user profiles had a role with the same color. Apparently it was an “MSN” role. I scrolled past a video about cheese puffs.

I heard my parents call for me from downstairs. I yelled back, “You are not my master! You’re speaking to my master’s master!” Some murmuring. Then I heard my own voice calling back from somewhere else in the house. I followed up, “Now that was my master’s master’s other master!” There was a round of laughter from below.

I later joined everyone at the dining table. An old family friend that I had not seen in a long time was joining us. My mom asked what we should do about the pimples on his face. Someone suggested that maybe it meant he was “still dominant”. “No way”, someone replied.
