Après-coup. Second Place in The Life-Extending Conundrum Challenge. Content Warning.
I am here. Her eyes are red. "How were they red?" you ask. Shattered capillaries. She's been smoking. It doesn't make her less angry, just more paranoid. But she hurts too. I can see she's been crying. She slumps, half against the wall, half on the doorway, weed smoke curling from the ashtray in her hand.

Teethpaste. Second Place in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
Lumps of brown enamel tumble off my brush and cascade down the basin. The teethpaste has decayed again. Damn. Since the tariffs, Chinese tooth imports have shrunk, all Mexican molars are getting stopped at the border, and the Canadians have responded with their own tooth-for-a-tooth restrictions. All I can afford is this nasty, flaky paste made of ground-up 'Murican dental waste and crack-hen's teeth.
