TikTok Only Wants One Thing
I thought TikTok liked me for me 😢😢😢 Written for Vocal's "Breakup Nonet" Challenge
Your trends and memes are all distractions.
No, you want one thing: my data.
So, my pocket Chinese spy,
I've gone back to Meta.
I Tikked my last Tok,
burned my doomscroll.
I'm done! Wait–
Is... that...
...cake?

Baby's First Steps (Ending)
The ISS is oscillating, gently but constantly. I am tethered in the Soyuz descent module. It's docked at the far end of the Russian Zvezda module, mothballed and neglected. For decades since the 1960s, these old Russian ships had been our Crew Return Vehicles – our lifeboats – until SpaceX's Dragon programme superceded them.

Echoes
I stepped carefully around the corner, the familiar sights and sounds hitting me like a brick to the face. My eyes watered. I could practically see us, all of us, back then, clustered around the outdoor tables in front of the pizza shop, the bar, the coffee shop. I could smell the various stalls from the events we’d been to on this street. I could taste the churros and nachos.

This is actually hilarious
What a way to complain about TikTok! It's very humoured.
Oooh! A unique take and very well executed! Great nonet and challenge entry!
lol, what a wonderful metaphor for our SM addictions. Nice!
Feeling personally attacked by this one
Lol, this was so relatable 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't meta want the same though 😁
