As Random walked away he thought about how nice the sun felt on his skin. He was glad the sun was out, and it wasn’t too hot yet. He wasn’t a fan of when temperatures got so hot that he felt uncomfortable. He was a big fan of when temperatures were warm enough to feel good in shorts and a t-shirt, but not so hot he would sweat just standing there. So Random talked to the brick in the wall he was standing next to and explained how he felt about everything. The brick was a good listener, but it never gave Random any indication that it was listening to him, so eventually Random stopped talking and moved on.

Random looked at the leaves and thought about raking them into a pile, but once he did that, he wasn’t sure what he should do. Should he leave them as is and let them decompose over the next several months, or should burn them, or something else? Random didn’t know and he kind of didn’t care. He did care about how the slugs were looking at him while he gazed at the leaves. The slugs didn’t have a friendly look to them and Random didn’t trust them. So instead of getting into it with them, Random quietly walked away, leaving the disgruntled slugs to themselves.

Random stood up and walked outside. He liked the smell of spring in the air and since it was the middle of winter, he didn’t smell spring at all. Instead, he smelled damp leaves and the cold. Random couldn’t put his finger on how cold smelled exactly, but he recognized it when he smelled it. He didn’t mind the smell so much when he thought about it. The smell reminded him of skiing and hanging out by fires, so since he associated a lot of good things with the smell of cold, Random was glad to smell it.

Random looked down at the collapsed city and then got as many dominos as he could find and made an elaborate city out of dominos. Once he was ready, he knocked them all down and had a great feeling of satisfaction, but at the same time he couldn’t remember if his oat milk had gone bad or not. Things like wondering if food had passed its expiration date filled Random’s mind way more than he would have liked.

Random sat down and then stood up again. He did that a few more times, then he stood up and walked out of the room. We went into the waiting room and looked around for people. He didn’t see any, so he sat down by himself in the corner. He waited for a few moments then started to read through the magazine that was resting on the table. Random made a paper sculpture out of a page and then he made another one and another one, then he had built a whole city out of paper. Then the wind blew, and the city collapsed.

Random sat down at his computer and started to write his letter to the editor. Then Random got writer’s block and after several long boring moments Random stood up and started to do jumping jacks. Random did that until he saw the strange mist seeping in through the cracks in his walls. He hadn’t noticed the cracks before so that concerned him. The mist also concerned Random. He wasn’t sure if it was poisonous gas or maybe just some supernatural mist that was transporting a nefarious entity to come destroy him. Random didn’t want to find out either way, so he duck taped the cracks to prevent the mist from continuing to invade his home.

Random picked up the newspaper and then realized it wasn’t a newspaper, but a coupon page instead. He remembered that newspapers weren’t printed anymore then he also remembered he hadn’t seen one of these coupon pages in a very long time either. Random wondered where the page had come from. He looked around and saw a few anteaters sitting around drinking coffee and tea. They didn’t pay Random any notice, so he didn’t pay them any notice. It was better that way.

After eating the pizza Random bought a subway ticket and tried to figure out which subway to get on. There were so many it was way too confusing to him. He knew that after a few days or riding the subway he would figure it out and it would all make sense, but right now he was overwhelmed and nervous he was going to screw up and get on the wrong train, which would cost him a lot of time and some money. Random figured no one would get hurt if he messed up and got on the wrong train, so he felt better with the attitude that things might not go as planned, but everything would be fine at the end of the day.

Random’s bubblegum popped and went all over his face. He was able to remove it quickly and easily. Then Random looked for nail clippers since he wanted to try and carve some hieroglyphics into the stone slab, which bordered the entrance into the cave. Once he was in the cave, he was glad to see more cave drawings and a food truck that sold delicious pizza. Random was in the mood for pizza so this was turning out to be a great day after all.

Random walked into the cafeteria and quickly noticed that it was empty of people and food. Random was hungry so he picked up a bow and arrow and went out to hunt for food. Random had never hunted for food before so he had no idea how to go about doing that. Since he was clueless, Random shuffled the deck of cards and tried as best he could to blow the biggest bubble with his chewing gum.

Random stood up and then walked onto the deck of the spaceship and looked out the window. He was in absolute awe at how many stars he could see when he was floating in outer space. It blew his mind at how many other stars and planets there were just within eyesight, let alone beyond what he could see. Random wondered what kind of cheese would be offered on the sandwich of the day in the cafeteria. That thought made him hungry, so he went to see what food options were available at this time.

Random walked around the corner of the busy downtown street. He hadn’t been downtown in a long time, and he didn’t appreciate all the loud noises or all the people. Some people were okay, and some were yelling at him for no reason. As long as the yelling people only yelled and didn’t attack him, Random was okay with them. Random quickly made his way to the waterfront, where it was a lot more peaceful. He sat on a log and watched the waves gently wash ashore.

Random got out of the water and picked up a tablecloth from the picnic the ants were having. He didn’t realize what he had done until it was too late. He put the cloth back and tried to put everything back as it was before he devastated everything. The ants were pissed at him, and it didn’t matter what he tried to do to make things better. They just wouldn’t accept his apology so Random gave up and left. He did what he could to make things better but since there was nothing he could do to make them forgive him, he had to move on since they never would.

Random looked at the bottoms of his shoes and was okay with how dirty they were. He wasn’t going to walk on clean white carpet or anything like that, so it didn’t matter how dirty his shoes were. But then he did realize he was walking over hot remnants of a campfire, and his shoes were melting. That wasn’t good on many levels, so Random quickly jumped into the river to put his shoes out of their burning misery.

Random stood up from his crash and tried to shake off the pain of colliding with the ground. Luckily, he wasn’t going that fast so he didn’t slam into the ground with as much force as he could have, if he was going faster. Random took his helmet off and handed it to the giant troll who just happened to be walking by. The troll took one look at the helmet and then threw it aside.

Random drank some water to help with his hangover and then he sat on the couch and watched TV. He didn’t care about the show he was watching so he turned it off and rearranged the pillows on the guest bed in his uncle’s house. That was strange since all the jellybeans hanging from the ceiling would hit him in the face and tickle as he walked through the room. That was like whatever, so Random got on his bike and rode down the street while trying to put on his helmet. He was successful with putting on his helmet, but in doing so he lost control of his bike and crashed.

Random got up and walked outside to find himself in the middle of Vegas. The lights and sounds were so overwhelming compared to his quiet home he couldn’t handle it at first. Then after a few more minutes he adjusted, grabbed a drink, and then partied all night long. The next day he very much regretted staying up all night long, but he seemed to remember he had had a good time, so he figured it was worth it.
