"Growing up, we were never told about the other side of reality"

"STOP!"

I screamed in pain, into the void and yelled crying, begging the world to stop just for a moment...

And the world stopped.
I stood up with shaky knees, still crying and trying to not burst into another wave of shiver and pain.
Walking like a zombie to a empty space, opened a door that wasn't there and stepped outside.

"I can't anymore -," I whispered as I slipped through this crack in our reality, "- please keep my memories separated from me, keep them here in this reality, give me a chance of living happy without the pain."

I tried to slam the door behind me, it screeched and I didn't hear it slam.

I whisper, standing in the rain on the street in this reality: "I know that this is not how it works." As I stare to the door, through which a part of me just left.

"I will stay behind, a fraction of myself, smaller as before. Seeing myself in a different light, leaving myself to other places.
Maybe with some luck, I might fade away, or reunite with myself. If I can handle myself again as a whole."

I sigh.

"Maybe this me is, not a lost fragment but a sapling.-"
I sit down. "-We will see."
In the rain my tears run invisible over my cheeks.

"Goodbye my other me, may you be happy on the other side."

Hello, my name is Frank and I'm addicted to agentic AI.

I started my first research project — an app measuring productivity gains from using agentic AI, then another one — created from the ground up using different model… Now I have five of them and the sixth one — supervising the five and providing in-depth analysis of the results.
Recently I found out why no one uses my apps — everyone makes their own, plagiarising my work! I feel so lonely and, having invested all my savings in tokens, my life is ruined… (bursts into tears)

- It was the end of the world. -

It was the end of the world.
We all stood together as our societies collapsed. The accumulated problems of constant mismanagement piled to high.
It was the end of the world...

As a proof of our existence to whoever might discover it, we started an archive of humanity, send it to space via rockets.

Some cried, some vandalized the streets few sang, most wept silently, and some crazy ones danced and than this f*ckers played the one sing really nobody needed to hear.

Europe the final countdown, not the complete song no only the most famous parts... Even now cooperate f*ckheads where to greedy to pay the full price...

It was the end of the world and we listened to parts of the final countdown on a loop...
It was the worst apocalypse ever feeling like a bad 21. Century New Year's Eve party...

Weil ich die Wortwahl von
@LouParlak so schön finde.

Löffel & Kabeljau

- Löffel -

Löffel!
Warum immer Löffel?
Sven der Kabeljau schrie vor Wut.
Was war so schwer daran, endlich mal echte Drumsticks zu finden?
Aber Nein!
Löffel!
Immer wieder Löffel...
Der Kabeljau legte frustriert den Kopf in die Flossen.
Da hatte er endlich genug Klarsichtfolie zusammen getragen & mit den Möwen einen Deal gemacht,
Ihm beim Schlagzeug bespannen zu helfen, & dann landeten seit Monaten nur noch Besteckteile im Meer.
War es denn nicht schon schwer genug, unter Wasser, den Traum vom Rockstar zu haben?
Wenn es denn wenigstens zwei gleich lange Löffel wären.
Er war sich inzwischen sicher, dass die Menschen ihn damit ärgern wollten.
Gedanken verloren trommelte er mit der Schwanzflosse ein fetziges Solo.

Ich kenn das Löffel Problem sehr gut.😅

Ich habe mich für Rabe & Eissturm entschieden

- Kalt -

Stoisch blickte der weiße Rabe,
zum, grau in grau getupften Horizont,
auf dem sich grelle Blitze
einen Kampf, mit den Wolken, lieferten,
um die Vorherrschaft.

In seinen dunklen, perlengleichen Augen, tanzten,
wie auf einer Bühne,
Ebenbilder, der gedämpften Farben, mit dem grellen Weiß der Blitze,
in einem Schauspiel der Natur.

Eine Inszenierung, ein Mikrokosmos, eine Reflektion, ein Vortex, der Maelstrom.

Sie ritt den Eissturm.
Sehet, seine Raureifkönigin war erwacht.

- Anna Saultron

Danke für die Auswahl & Inspiration @anderlandbooks
Irgendwie habe ich die ganze Zeit das Gefühl, dass sich da etwas reimen sollte.
Zeitaufwand: ~45 Minuten. 🙃😅

Integrity's three Callisto Defensive Support Vehicles (DSVs, for short) are a critical part of the Orion crewed spaceflight system, and the primary reason Artemis II has already surpassed the limited successes of the Apollo program.

"It is for the survival of the species," he said before jumping into the pudding.

The police arrived with tenthousands of people and heavy machinery.
Water throwers, tear gas, shields and rubber bullets. Prepared for a war against the citizens.

They where whimsically under prepared against a million costumed people on tuned pogo sticks.
