THE WORLD IS FLAT

I must remember to imagine my OCD as something more comical. An unkempt crow (who’s started calling himself Mr Fig) is far too much of a Victorian cliché. I visualise a bouncing red ball instead. Boink! Boink! Boink!

FOUR EMOJIS

The fate of the universe, maybe the entire multiverse, rests in my incapable hands. Four emojis taunt me from my phone – I hold my breath as simulated lifeforms glitch across infinity (I should be wearing spandex underwear and a cloak for this kind of shit).
-
ANOTHER PLANET

I’ve never wanted to conform, because the world, and how it works, seems totally unhinged to me.

NEGATIVE GRAVITY

He saw me staring at him across the dancefloor and I could tell he was getting pissed off. I didn’t want a confrontation, but if I failed to count to 10 without blinking, somewhere in the world, a plane would fall out of the sky.

WITCHES AT THE WHEEL – an ocDETOUR

I flip him my middle finger but the little shit doesn’t react, other than perch on the tip of it, and tell me I’m gonna die when the plane crashes into the Atlantic Ocean.

BLINDING LIGHT

So much time was wasted ruminating about things that never did happen quite the way I feared they would.

MIAMI MICE – an OC Detour

A tiny breakdown outside the Metrorail station followed the panic attack like a yapping dog (I ran around humming Rigoletto, screaming that my girlfriend had the Devil’s eyes.)

IMPOSTER – OCD DLC

So many questions, like flies loitering around a fish sandwich. Something isn’t right. Half a glitch out of sync is all it takes. Watch me for a day, you’ll see.
