Pool Party (Short)

It was a hot summer day, the perfect day to kick back and relax by the pool with your wife. Unfortunately, the two of you don't have a pool in your backyard. However a friend of yours just got a new pool installed a few months ago and is inviting a few people over for a pool party. Of course, you and your wife couldn't say no, so you packed a bag and headed over to his house. Upon arrival your friend said that you should go get changed into your trunks. When you go to grab them though, you can't find them anywhere in the bag you packed. You were about to quickly rush back home to grab them when your friend offered you a spare pair of his that you could borrow. The two of you went up to his room and he dug through a drawer, pulling out a plain black pair of swim trunks. He told you that he never wore them and that he bought them from some strange old lady on vacation. In fact, he said you could just keep them. He left you alone and headed back downstairs to the group while y...

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...

Movie Night

You’ve been looking forward to this night for a few weeks now. Both you and your wife have been super busy, barely able to spend any quality time with each other. Tonight is the first night in a while that both of you are free, meaning only one thing. Date night! One of the things that the two of you bond over is your love of movies. There haven’t really been too many good movies out recently, so it's been hard to justify a trip to the theater regardless of how busy you two have been. Tonight is different though, finally a movie that seems worth watching is out in theaters so you made plans for your date night to be dinner and a movie. Dinner was wonderful. Spending time with the love of your life is always a pleasure, but tonight feels even more special. It's like you’re catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while. Dinner lasts probably a bit longer than it should, considering you have a movie to see. You do your best to politely rush the waiter so you c...

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,...
