Humanity
I Used to Think I Had to Grovel. Then I Saw the Elevator.
A sheet of red‑headed paper was posted on the cafeteria bulletin board. The housing allocation list. Chi Dawei looked for his name from the bottom up—second‑to‑last row, north‑facing, twelve square metres. He finished reading, said nothing, and turned to get hot water. Tea leaves floated on the surface; he blew on them three times before he drank. Someone nearby called out, "Dawei, where did you get?" He answered, "Fine. Quiet."

The Morning My Gut Told Me Something Was Wrong
My wife and I live in a row of duplexes. Here, everybody's kids end up playing in everybody's yard at some point. I know which kid belongs to which house, their parents by name, and which ones aren't supposed to leave the yard without a grown-up watching. I’m aware of my living environment like that.

The Conversation I Didn't Know I Needed With Josh
Josh has been my workmate for a couple of years now. He’s one of those guys who quietly became a real friend at some point, and I looked back and went, "hang on a minute, he's a proper mate" well after the fact. My car died on the side of the road once in the middle of nowhere and he drove twenty miles to come and pick me up.

ROBOCALLS
ROBOCALLS And their cousin: SPAM ** It was 7:57am or at least that’s why my bedroom clock said. Okay, so I’m not a morning person. I don’t have a problem getting up at 7:30 or 8:00 as long as I have something important to do. When it’s what I call a “free day”, then, yeah, let me sleep until 8. I’m happy with that.

Am I Supposed To Change The Story?
To whoever this may concern, Yes, you are right. I did speak up about those things you did to me; even when the world went against me, and took everything from me because you chose to deny responsibility for your actions, and victimise me by making me out to be a liar.
