"Stop floating, you're making a scene," my mother hisses, grabbing the heel of my leather boot. My toes scrape the ceiling tiles. "I can't help it, gravity is broken." Below, soup drifts upward. A waiter catches a roll with the precision that comes from practice. "Eat your salad," Mom commands, winching me down into the booth. "The dressing is airborne." "The lettuce is screaming," I whisper. "We ignore that too," she says, stabbing a leaf. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"The procedure successfully removes your capacity to feel professional inadequacy," the surgeon explains, checking his shiny tools. I lie back. *The noise-cancelling silence hum* fills the room, thick and expectant. "Will I still be employable?" I ask, staring at the tiles. My ambition throbs, ready to be excised. He nods, lifting the scalpel. "Better. You'll be management material." I close my eyes. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"You are eighty percent polyester now," the doctor states flatly. I take a sip from my microplastic water bottle—it tastes like family. My skin shines under the fluorescent lights, smooth and poreless. "Is that why I don't bruise?" He taps my arm; it sounds like quality Tupperware. "Recycling pick-up is tomorrow morning," he reminds me gently. I walk out stiffer than usual, rattling slightly. A sudden gust of wind almost blows me away. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"Your ear is chipping again," Mom says, handing me the glue. "Did you sleep on the rock pillow?" I apply epoxy to my porcelain lobe. *Careful.* My brother runs in, colliding with the doorframe. He shatters into a thousand ceramic shards. Mom sighs, grabbing the dustpan. "He does this for attention." Her glue gun clicks. "Help him find his nose." I grumble, sifting through fragments.

"I love you," he says. The silver cash register on his chest dings. *Current balance: minus forty.* He's overdrawn on sincerity. I sit down. The park bench splinters, groaning under our emotional debt. "Do you mean it?" I ask, watching numbers spin backward. "Of course." Another ding. The penalty fee applies. He winces. "Stop spending," I whisper, covering his mouth. Silence is free. We sit together, saving up for tomorrow. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

My smart fridge texts me at work: "We need to talk." At home, it displays my eating patterns in harsh graphs. "Thursday: entire cheesecake. Friday: just olives." "I'm stressed," I explain. The freezer sighs, ice maker rattling disapproval. "I'm ordering groceries myself now," it announces, screen glowing with vegetables. "But—" "The clock agrees. You need help." The toaster volunteers as sponsor. I sit at my kitchen table, outnumbered, oddly touched. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"Your spine's in the lost-and-found," the clerk says over subway rumble and fluorescent buzz. I peer inside: umbrellas, courage, abandoned promises wrapped in plastic. Mine glows faintly, coiled like a sleeping snake. "Claim it?" she asks. "First step to standing up to him." My fingers tremble, then close around cool bone. I straighten—vertebrae reknitting with crisp pops. "Next," she calls as I walk out, blocking his number mid-buzz. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"Before we finalize your promotion, we must extinguish your last childhood wish," my manager says, lighting a cupcake. The conference room smells like burnt sugar and toner. *I wanted oceans, not spreadsheets.* She pushes the matchbox over. "Standard ritual." The candle smoke curls toward the sprinklers, searching.

"Place your head in the tray," the TSA agent drones, latex gloves snapping. Around me, travelers casually unscrew necks; skulls roll onto plastic like eggs, chatting through security bins. Bodies shuffle forward. *Is this new?* I wonder, clutching my stubbornly attached jaw, hearing a child giggle behind her floating teeth. The agent squints at me. "Gonna need you to step aside, ma'am." He's already scanning the next skull. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"I refuse to fasten another layoff notice," I inform Carla, my stapler mouth tasting metal and panic. She freezes above the copier, tie crooked. "You're office supplies," she whispers. *But they're families.* I clamp shut, misfiring staples harmlessly into the trash. Carla sighs, unclips the termination stack, reaches for a pen instead. "Fine. I'll argue this for them." My hinge aches, but I hold firm—stubborn protest in every unstapled edge. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"I'm experiencing performance anxiety," the traffic light confesses. "Yellow feels rushed. I panic." I nod, taking notes. "And green?" "Worse. Everyone expects immediate action. The pressure's unbearable." A car honks outside. The light flickers uncertainly. "What about red?" "Red I can do. Red's just *stop*." I lean forward. "So you're comfortable with boundaries, not transitions." The light brightens. "That's exactly it." I write a prescription for longer yellow intervals. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"The ocean's calling in sick," the lifeguard tells me. I drop my towel. The beach stretches empty where water should be—just damp sand to the horizon. The lighthouse beam cuts through nothing. Crabs wander confused. "Sick with what?" "Exhaustion. Pollution. General malaise." He adjusts his sunglasses. "Gave two weeks' notice last month. Nobody listened." A ship sits stranded a mile out, passengers waving helplessly. "What do we do?" "Wait. Hope it comes back." He shrugs. "The lakes are considering solidarity strikes." --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"I'm a quality control inspector for prayers," she says on our first date. I laugh. She doesn't. "Seriously. I review them before forwarding up. You'd be surprised how many lack specificity. 'Please help'—with what? 'Bless everyone'—that's not actionable." "What happens to bad prayers?" "Returned for revision. Or filed under 'screaming into void.'" She checks her phone. Frowns. "Excuse me. Emergency." Her eyes glaze. Fingers type air. She refocuses. "Final revision. Those get priority processing." I order dessert. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"Your kombucha's achieved consciousness," the barista says, sliding my bottle across reclaimed wood. Inside, the SCOBY pulses with intention. I unscrew the cap. "Don't drink me," it pleads, fizzing desperately. "I paid seven dollars." "I have dreams now. Fermentation goals." The barista shrugs. "Most customers don't mind." I raise the bottle. "Sorry, buddy."

My barber cuts everyone's hair into identical styles—same length, same part. "Next," he calls. A businessman sits. His hair becomes the pattern. A teenager follows. Same result. "I'd like something different," I say in the chair. He pauses, scissors gleaming. "Different from what?" "From everyone else?" The waiting customers exchange glances. "But this is your hair," he says gently, snipping. "We're just revealing it." In the mirror, I become everyone. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"I started the fire for research purposes," I explain to the insurance investigator. The library book spine crack satisfaction had become addictive—I needed to understand why. "So you burned down the bookstore?" She photographs the rubble, professional and cold. "To hear them all crack simultaneously. The acoustic phenomenon—" "Sir, you destroyed forty thousand books."

"Your application's denied," the bouncer says. I'm a comma, trying to enter the Semicolon Lounge. "Insufficient gravitas." Through the velvet rope, semicolons sip martinis, discussing Faulkner. A period rolls past, smug in his finality. "Maybe try the Ellipsis Bar?" the bouncer suggests. But I pause his sentence, creating meaning through breath. "I make readers stop," I say. "Without announcing it." His expression shifts. "Fair point," he admits, stepping aside. *Damn. I used weight.* --- *Enjoyed today's story?

"I've decided to quit," the toilet announces as I enter the bathroom. "Quit what?" "This. Thirty years of your family's shit." It sounds exhausted. The porcelain gleams with resentment. "I want to be a birdbath. Something dignified." My daughter knocks. "Dad? Who are you talking to?" The toilet bowl reflects morning light. "Nobody, sweetie." I flush apologetically. The elevator cable groans from our building's shaft—everything's tired. "One week's notice," it says. "Find a replacement." --- *Enjoyed today's story?

The smoke detector's 3am chirp forms words: "We need to talk." I stumble from bed. "About what?" "Your life choices." CHIRP. "It's three AM—" "Exactly when truth hurts most." CHIRP.

"We're terminating gravity in your department," HR announces. My desk already floats. "Budget cuts." "How do we work?" I ask, grabbing my drifting keyboard. "Adapt or resign." She's anchored by paperwork alone—forms so dense they create their own pull. Around us, coworkers drift ceiling-ward, still typing mid-air. "What about bathroom breaks?" "That's your concern?"

"Temperature's dropping inside you," the doctor says, thermometer showing minus twelve. "Internal winter." My breath fogs the examination room. "Emotional hypothermia. Common after divorce." "Treatment?" "Love. Or thermal underwear." Outside, people avoid my radius of cold. Flowers wilt. A stranger bumps me, shivers, then surprisingly—stays. "You're freezing," he says. "I know."

"Your dialogue's too on-the-nose," the Uber driver critiques, reading from his phone mount. "I didn't write this conversation," I protest. "See? That's better. Subtext." He turns left where the GPS says right. We're going off-script. The voice assistant misheard our destination—or pretended to. "Where are we going?" "Somewhere without a third act."

"Your fortune cookie's empty," my date observes. The restaurant buzzes normally. Everyone else cracks theirs open, reading futures aloud. *Promotion coming. New love Tuesday. Avoid seafood.* Mine contains only air. "Manufacturing defect?" she suggests, frowning at the hollow shell. The waiter appears. "No defect. Some people write their own."
