Moving-Day Fantasy

a woman kneeling on the floor, taping a carton shut. she is surrounded by hundreds of boxes, all labeled "stuff" - a thought balloon shows her imagining running blissfully through wide open space with a hobo stick over her shoulder, a hankie tied around a small bundle of her things"

How To Saint

How to Saint In the past, to be a saint you had to give up your time and money. (scene: an elderly bearded man in a monk’s robe handing bread out to a line of homeless people in the snow, cats and pigeons cleaning crumbs off the cobblestones. ) or bits of your body (scene; a dungeon. a nun behind bars. a greasy jailer chortling and approaching with giant tongs). You had to withstand criticism (Scene, the french countryside. Joan of Arc in armor and carrying a banner of the flour de lys, marching off, while peasants watch and say “She’s mad!”) Lots of it. (scene, John the Evangelist in a giant pot with a fire stoked beneath it. a man in leather doublet pours a long ladle of hot oil over the marty’s head) But now it’s easier! (scene, an office. two desks. one person says “I sent you that link you wanted.” the other person says “you’re a saint!”) Scene: two people waiting at a bus stop on an icy day. one holds out a thermos cup and says “coffee?” and the other says, “you’re a saint.” So become a saint today - refill someone’s printer paper! (scene - a person shutting the paper tray of a desktop printer and winking)

Quarantoons: People Who Love Teleworking

frame 1: INTROVERTS: smiling man at home teleworking on his laptop. wearing shirt and tie. one cat looking out window, another cat snoozing beside him. Frame 2: AGORAPHOBES: teleworking man not smiling so much, curtain pulled, many locks and chains on the door, and delivery food being pushed through a cat-flap. Frame 3: ABLUTOPHOBES: teleworking man in smelly wrinkly clothes, dirty face and socks, hair grown long and tousled, sleeping beside him is a skunk. flies are circling his head. lots of leftover food containers litter the floor. Frame 4: YOUR OFFICE SUPPLY MANAGER: neatly dressed woman in front of fully stocked shelves. she smiles and says “Not one paper clip missing!”
