The indecisive cat…

Jonathan put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. They had just finished a nice and late breakfast and had no plans for the rest of the day. Fortunately, he thought, because it had been snowing heavily all night and all morning, there didn’t seem to be an end in sight. He liked snow, it was […]

Stargazing

Jennifer put her bag in the trunk of her husband’s car. “I think we have everything.”, she told Jonathan. He was still in the kitchen giving the cats some treats before they left. “What about road snacks?”, he asked. “We got ginger ale, gummy bears, Doritos and M&Ms.” “Awesome.” Apparently Jonathan was still saying goodbye […]

Cloudy with a chance of asteroids….

Jonathan was nervous. Not so much because he was scared of Ralph Henry Woodfield, no, he was just an arrogant jerk that he could handle. It was more about how he could possibly react to what he wanted to talk to him about. As he walked along the corridor towards Ralph’s office door he tried […]

The wannabe nightmare…

It was Monday, the least popular day of the week for lots of people. Mondays were cruel but inevitable. This Monday was no different. After working on different experiments and a paper for what felt like endless hours it was still only 10 am. Jonathan sighed. This day would probably never end. He was sitting […]

Sleeping ducks…

The hidden blessing…

In a few months he would drive this route every day, Jonathan thought. It may be a longer drive home but it would be worth it. They would finally leave their old small apartment behind and move into the new house with much more space for them, their books and their cat. But till they […]

The unexpected unicorn…

Jonathan took a sip from his mint milkshake as he proofread the last paragraph he had written on his laptop. It all made sense to him but would others think the same? Maybe Anne or Glenn should take a look at it and give him some feedback. He was sitting in his favorite booth in […]

The rest is history…

She could have sworn she had put her favorite pen on her desk but it was gone. Where could it be? Could Jonathan have taken it? No, he wouldn’t do that and why would he need to use her pen when there were dozens of other pens in the house. Maybe one of the cats […]

The opposite of a problem…

Jennifer drove the car into the garage after she got home from work. Her day had gone quite well and she felt good about the work she had done but she really looked forward to getting home to Jonathan, who had only been released from the hospital a few weeks ago. It was good to […]
