Sounds Like Change

Lunch break was one of your favorite parts of any work day. You spend a lot of time at work taking calls and just being generally busy all day, so your one hour of alone time was really special to you. Today you had decided to head just down the street to one of your favorite cafes for lunch. While you were eating, there was the faint sound of music in the background. You don’t remember the cafe ever playing music before, so it must be a new thing. For most of your time in the cafe the music simply blends into the background noise of the place, however one song strangely caught your ear. You didn’t recognize it at first, but you found yourself absentmindedly tapping your foot to the beat. After a few moments you finally recognized it as a Taylor Swift song, ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ or something like that. You don’t hate the song or anything, but it's just not the type of music you really listen to. Despite that, you find yourself humming the song for minutes after it finished. Ma...

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.

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.

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...
