LUDICROUS.

6:47 AM

The alarm went off. Not the alarm you set -- a different alarm. From a different phone. A phone you do not own. It was playing a song you have never heard, in a language that doesn't exist. You pressed snooze and it thanked you. By name.

7:15 AM

The coffee machine dispensed orange juice. You do not own orange juice. You poured it into a mug anyway and it tasted like the color blue. Not blueberry -- the actual color. It was surprisingly refreshing. You had a second cup.

8:02 AM

On the train, the person next to you was reading a book titled [LUDICROUS]How to Disappear Completely While Remaining Visible. You asked if it was good. They said "it depends on whether you're the one disappearing." Then they vanished. The book fell on your lap. It was blank inside.

ABSOLUTELY.

At lunch, the menu listed a dish called "The Paradox." It was described as "everything and also nothing, served warm." You ordered it. The waiter nodded as if this were perfectly normal. It arrived as an empty plate that somehow felt heavy.

The elevator went sideways. Not metaphorically. Horizontally. The doors opened onto a floor that did not exist in the building's directory. It was labeled "Floor Q." You stepped out. It smelled like geometry.

Your colleague sent you an email that said only: "The meeting has been moved to yesterday." You checked your calendar. The meeting was there, yesterday, marked as attended. You have no memory of it. Your notes from the meeting are in someone else's handwriting. They are excellent notes.

THE PEAK

The office printer printed a document no one sent. It was a performance review of the printer itself. Rating: [LUDICROUS]exceeds expectations in all dimensions including ones not yet discovered. It gave itself a raise.

At 3:47 PM, gravity briefly became optional. Your pen floated six inches above your desk for exactly four seconds. No one else noticed. When it landed, it had written a haiku on your notepad. The haiku was about a pen that wanted to fly.

The clock in the lobby struck 17. There is no 17 on a clock. Everyone looked up, counted, shrugged, and went back to work. This is the kind of day where seventeen o'clock is simply accepted as a reasonable time for things to happen.

The fire alarm played jazz. Smooth, confident jazz. No one evacuated. Everyone [LUDICROUS]started slow dancing in the hallway. It was the best emergency drill the building has ever had.

NOT.

actually, it was a pretty good day.
