Regularly teleports to new and interesting places. Ideally, compact from the outside but comfortable inside. So, I guess a TARDIS would be my dream home.

PROMPT: News
Seek a second and third independent source. The News is increasingly unreliable.
PROMPT: Lost Interest
I used to play with blocks and Lincoln Logs, but as I was not interested in majoring in Architecture, there was no way to respectably continue the activity.
PROMPT: Candy
Chocolate covered nut.
PROMPT: A Break
Yes. The manipulation. Attention merchants selling space in our heads to AI-powered rage bait creators for a magical misdirect on a scale never before seen.

PROMPT: Invention
Velcro and Sticky Notes! We knew how to fasten things, but before then we couldn’t fasten things in a half-assed fashion.

PROMPT: Ideal Day
I wake up. I don’t die. I go to sleep.

PROMPT: To-Do List
The writing of a “to-do list.”
PROMPT: Cook
Geese. As in: “Your GOOSE is cooked AND your GOOSE is cooked… [etc.]”
