Phone Dependent

Another rough day at work. You’ve just been so busy with everyone piling work onto you that you have almost no free time during the day. In order to keep some semblance of sanity, you head to the bathroom for one of the few short breaks you’ll have today. As you made your way slowly to the bathroom, you passed by Jenny, your 20 year old coworker. She never really seemed to be doing anything, and at her age it was a miracle that she even got the internship at this company! You knew it was only because her father was the boss, otherwise she probably wouldn’t have even got an interview. She walked past you with her face buried in her phone, no doubt texting her friends and updating her social media. It was the newest model of iPhone, and she had a bright pink case that could be seen for miles. As she passed you, she nearly tripped and fell on a rogue chair someone left sitting out. You chuckled softly at her misfortune. As soon as she regained composure she looked right at you. “Somethin...

The Most Magical Place on Earth

Finally a vacation. Work had been piling up recently, but you had luckily scheduled this vacation far in advance so nothing could get in the way of it. Your boss gave you the go-ahead and you left the next day. Your wife had planned the trip for you since you were so busy, and the two of you decided to go visit Los Angeles. Your wife, without telling you, had bought you both day passes to DisneyLand, reserving a whole day of your vacation for the park. You weren’t nearly as excited as she was, but who could complain about a trip to Disney? The day of Disney had arrived and the two of you arrived at the park. It was busy enough, but luckily it seemed like none of the lines were unbearably long. In any case, one of the first things the two of you did was visit one of the shops. Your wife was set on getting a pair of Minnie Mouse ears to wear and you were happy to oblige. You always thought they were pretty cute and you were excited to see your wife in them. The store was packed so yo...

New Glasses

You were a little upset after your last visit to the doctor. They had performed a vision test on you and you did quite poorly. They recommended you get glasses immediately. Today was the day you were going to pick them out. You got in your car and drove yourself to the store, dreading the task. As soon as you arrived you gave the store employee the piece of paper with your prescription on it and he too you around the room showing all of the different styles. None of them really jumped out to you unfortunately, and you wanted to make sure you got ones you’d be happy with since you’d be wearing them all the time. Suddenly a pair caught your eye. They were behind the counter on a tray, but as soon as you laid eyes on them you knew they were the ones for you. You told the employee and he smiled. “These frames are very special, they’ll change your life, guaranteed.” He said as you paid for them. He told you to come back in a few hours to pick them up with your lenses in them. A little w...

Needing Some Energy

You have a problem. Recently your workload has been steadily increasing as the demand for IT techs grows. Your company just doesn’t have enough people working in IT, and you’ve taken the brunt of it. To keep up with your demanding job, you’ve turned to energy drinks, coffee, and caffeinated teas to get you through the day. Unfortunately, because of this you’ve developed a bit of an addiction to caffeine. Your wife has been noticing this and is quite concerned. Luckily she has a solution. Unbeknownst to you, your wife comes from a long line of talented witches, and she herself is quite powerful. She rarely uses her magic now that modern conveniences like phones and the internet are able to solve many of the problems that her far more complex spells are designed for. However, this problem called for a magic touch.  One night while you were sleeping, your wife quietly snuck out of your bedroom and into the attic. She had previously set up all she needed for the spell so she got to...

Unwinding After Work

It had been a long day at work and you really just wanted to get home and relax. You pulled up to your house and walked in the door, putting your things down by the front table. You called out to your wife that you were home. She soon rounds the corner. When she looks at you there is a strange look on her face. “What are you wearing?” She asks. Confused, you reply, “What do you mean, I always dress like this to work?” This is obviously not what she was expecting. “What are you talking about Jenny? You’ve never worked a day in your life!” She says. Now you are both confused, but you were far too exhausted from the day to figure this out now. “I’m going to take a shower, we can talk about this when I’m out.” You say. Your wife was clearly not satisfied with this, but she went along with it. You headed into the bathroom to take a shower, wanting to wash away the stresses of the day. As you washed, you didn’t seem to notice as the warm water washed away all your body hair. Simultaneously,...
