Brain Chip Dip
A CEO of a tech firm must decide.
“Something’s happened to the stock,” Grafton Grale mentioned. He turned the screen to his superior. A black man named Kingfisher Tole, he headed the firm that produced microchips for brain research.
His eyes looked at where the stock fell for the afternoon just hours before the closing bell on the Wilmington Stock Exchange (WiSE).
“We can sell right now and still make a decent profit, sir,” Grale announced.
“I’ll be goddamned if I sell. We’re going to hold. We’re supposed to keep this company together. If we sell now, we’re going to be headed for the ash heap,” Tole said.

The secret place
In the quaint village of Eldoria, nestled between rolling hills and ancient forests, tales of a secret place had been passed down through generations. The villagers spoke of it in hushed tones, weaving stories of magic and wonder that filled the minds of children with dreams and the hearts of adults with a flicker of nostalgia for the unknown.

A telegram to Little Me
I acquired a magical souvenir; it was a realisation. By taking an impulsive trip to Thailand, I awarded myself the chance to have it. You are our own gift shop. You choose the opening times, you choose the stock. They are the very nature of wisdom, realisations. One could say we collect them and form a magnificent portfolio entitled Experience. And that's why we do the majority of things we do. But travelling is the act most generous in the offering of experience, the gift shop with the best stock. We go on the hunt for experiences, daring ourselves to be stimulated in new ways, by new flavours. To sweat, swim or shiver in the waters of new challenges. To hear new sounds, learn novel outlooks, and relish as hinges creak with unknown doors opening in our hearts and minds. This realisation and the flourishing effect it had upon me made Thailand my best trip yet. All this realisation consisted of was merely a stripped back epiphany of why we do these things. See new places, take new risks, seek refreshing distractions from all that we're tired of being familiar with.
