satire

Science fiction satire presented to mock the many generations of society.

Dishwasher
I fill up the dishwasher, place a capsule inside and press ‘Start’. It takes around an hour and a half to get rid of all the stains and bacteria. The plates, pans, mugs, glasses all come out clean and almost like new. Sometimes the water pressure chips a piece of a plate or scratches a glass, but the chance it happens is small, and the odds are definitely worth it. When I think about it, I wish I could get inside and let the water wash off all the worries, anxiety and thoughts, leaving me pure and clean like a newborn baby.

Closing Time
Melba! You made it. Thank God! I wasn’t thinking that those creeps out there would have let you past the roadblock they put out there in Anaheim. At least we know now there are other people in the universe who want absolutely nothing to do with the United States of America right now! Hell, they're more cartoon characters than any of us! And yet they think none of us have a right to live because we are cartoon characters. What idiots!

A Magical Day in the Land of Vocal
Not many know the tale of the land of Vocal. In fact, it is a well-guarded secret place, full of wonders and mysteries that we can only speculate on. Theories run wild, discussions are held in hushed voices, and stories are told around the campfire.

War Spoils
The valley sung with the symphony of battle, swords clashed and intertwined like violins and cellos, maces used shields as drumheads and arrows soared high above on invisible harp strings. This orchestra was no practice session, it was opening night and the audience although small was suitably impressed from their high seats that overlooked the valley.

On The Hunt
Believe it or not, vampire hunting is still a profession in the year 2021. You may be thinking, “Vampire hunting? I’ve never even seen a vampire.” To that, I would say “You’re welcome.”

The one and only Little Black Book I'm so tired of always being tired, it seems like it's never enough, it seems to never end.

Thought Production
-Factory floor- I never thought I'd be appreciated. There's no chance, but I was there shaking his hand. Warmth exchanged from hand to hand. My eyes won't leave them, thank you.

To The Moon.
She hauled her made-from-recyclable-materials tote back up onto her coffee table and collapsed on her pre-loved couch she’d never quite been able get that smell out of. Some like to eat their feelings, but Connie spent hers instead. After That-Bitch Jeff wrote her up arriving to the office only five minutes late a post-work splurge at the bookstore was warranted. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Con could never tell which, she was broke so the splurges were limited to the secondhand industry. She liked her books to appear worn anyway, it gives the illusion of being read.

Payday
She skittered her digits across the lid of the coffin, wondering what it was made of. From a distance it looked like wood but was cold to the touch so she guessed it was copper. A huge, hideous wreath lay on top and the arrangement appeared to have been made by someone who strongly enjoyed carnations.

Is the Fault in YOUR Stars?. Top Story - February 2021.
It’s easy to make fun of astrology enthusiasts, but when it comes right down to it, a lot of the population readily engages with the predictions and descriptions they entail. Admit it, even if you are someone who preaches about how dumb zodiac signs are every day, you secretly know what yours is and have looked into your readings at least once in your life.
