An Unordinary Ordinary Day
An Unordinary Ordinary Day Louisa had gone to the cinema on Saturday afternoon because there was nothing much else to do. Christmas was getting closer, the shops were busy, and she fancied sitting somewhere warm for a couple of hours. She bought herself a drink, found her seat and settled down to watch the film.

The Earth Stood Still
On a Warm Day Gosh, the sun is so bright, Abby thought. The sun was blaring, but not scorching her skin because it was autumn. Temperatures were brisk and cool, and the beautiful leaves had been changing and drifting to the ground for a couple of weeks in her New England town, not that she or anyone else noticed.

You Win Some, You Lose Some
Coby stared at his cup of tea, like it had done something wrong even though he hadn’t taken a single sip. It was probably good. As usual. It was his favorite flavor of his favorite brand of tea. Coby had plenty of relaxing memories of sipping this tea in the morning while he browsed through the news on his phone.

Plato On The Toilet. Runner-Up in Already Here Challenge.
Plato (428-348 BCE) is giant of Western Philosophy, whose words cast a long shadow to the present day, where the study of ethics, ontology, justice, metaphysics and many more fields begin with a chapter on him. His work has shaped the mind of many generations of great thinkers who, in turn, either built upon or criticised his words, but never ignored him. However, these great thinkers have typically fallen into very narrow categories of people, making the study of Plato almost exclusively a pastime for the privileged. This has changed with the invention of the internet, which allows me, some random guy, to read Plato on the toilet, on my phone, when I am meant to be doing my job.

Cassandra Complex
"Some people say a man is made out of mud. A poor man's made out of muscle and blood. Muscle and blood and skin and bone. A mind that's weak and a back that's strong. You load sixteen tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store."

Archiving Childhood. Runner-Up in Already Here Challenge.
Photography is an everyday habit now, with our phones being an extension of ourselves and the camera app being an extra set of eyes. We don’t just take photos to capture a beautiful moment. We snap photos to remember confirmation numbers, parking sign details, or even an interesting book we want to look up later. Not things we need to remember forever, but they’ll still get backed up to the cloud, just in case.
