He Was Just Delivering Milk Tea. Then the Pavement Kicked His Bike Into the Air
The tile sat by the curb. Gray. Corners polished smooth by years of electric bikes. Rain made it splash. Dry days made it tilt. It had been loose for a long time. No one fixed it.

I Was Just Trying to Make Coffee
Saturday morning began with a simple objective... Coffee. That's it. I wasn't remodeling the kitchen. I wasn't installing solar panels. I wasn't attempting to teach myself conversational Mandarin before lunch. I just wanted some coffee. This should have required approximately four minutes and almost no critical thinking. Unfortunately, I own a house.

What The Puck?
Introduction Another wonderful share from The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook, which I think deserves a tale. The music is "Confusion" by New Order. When I bought the 12" single, neither the record store guy nor I could work out what it was from the cover. I was looking for "Blue Monday". The title was on the actual record.
