The Brown Box
It’s 7:22pm Monday night when Crystal finally begins to walk towards her car after a long shift at J-Mart. Crystal is a second year nursing student working to put herself through school. She stands a solid 5’8, has beautiful dark brown melanin skin, short black curly hair, and a figure so magnificent and unique that the best sculptures in the world couldn’t recreate it.

If not The Office, then Brooklyn 99
Picture this! It’s a chilly winter night, you’ve had a long, tiresome, hectic day at work, and you stopped by your favorite restaurant to get food before you got home. Once you get settled inside, you take a nice, hot, steamy shower to wind down. After you dry off and put on your favorite polar bear onesie, you make your way to the kitchen. The food is still hot, and the gallon of strawberry lemonade you bought from the store yesterday is nice and cold. You pour some into your silver, 32 ounce thermos, grab your food off of the kitchen counter, and take a seat on your couch in the living room. As you sit, your phone buzzes. It’s texts from your friends inviting you out for a night in the town. You look down at your food as it’s staring at you from the coffee table, then catch a glimpse of yourself in the TV. You choose to ignore the texts, and say to yourself, “I’ll just tell them I was asleep.” Now, here’s where the fun starts. Next, you turn on the TV, go to Netflix, and try to watch your favorite show, The Office. You search and search and search, but you can’t seem to find it. You exit out a couple of times, reset your TV, and even try logging in and out of your Netflix account, but nothing is working. You’re hangry and begin to get irritated. You refuse to start eating without The Office playing. After today being “one of those days”, all you want is to watch the comical, juvenile humor of Regional Manager Michael Scott, the hilarious banter between Dwight and Jim, follow the love story of Jim and Pam, as well as the secret affair of Dwight and Angela, and fall in love with the funny supporting characters of Kevin, Stanley, Darryl, Phyllis, Creed, Oscar, Toby, and Andy. You breathe out a long, heavy sigh of frustration. All you want to do is to watch your show.
