Who wouldn't be angry you ate all of my cereal and and faked your death for three years!

"Who wouldn't be angry you ate all of my cereal and and faked your death for three years!"

"Are you equally mad about both of those things?"

"You don't get to question my emotions right now. I thought you were dead!"

"Well it was necessary, I promise."

"Okay so what happened?"

"Oooh I'm not sure I'm ready to talk about that yet."

"You aren't ready."

"Yeah."

"Hrm, you know what?"

"What?"

"I don't think you get to make that decision right now. You owe me."

"Because I faked my own death or because I ate all of your cereal?"

"Okay, under most circumstances, just one of those would be enough, but right now it's both."

"I would need to explain to you why I ate all of your cereal even if there was no other thing I did?"

"Yeah, I think so. I have a lot of cereal so eating all of it would require some kind of explanation."

"I suppose that's true. You do spend too much money on cereal."

"Are we really talking about this right now?"

"Why not?"

"Because you faked your own death and I'm still waiting to hear any sort of a reason."

"Okay, fine. I suppose I do owe you an explanation...I did eat all of your cereal."

"Are you making a joke right now?"

"Maybe."

"Stop it."

"I can't promise that."

"Do you not owe me that too after all of these years?"

"So just because I ate all of your cereal, I have to tell you why I faked my own death and not joke?"

"The cereal isn't the point!"

"You sure did mention it though."

"Okay, I'll stop bringing it up, but tell me where you've been."

"Where I've been or why I faked my own death?"

"I'm gonna go with you have to do both."

"Fine."

"Okay, so tell me."

"So remember when I used to be a delivery guy?"

"Yeah, that's what you were doing right before you fake died."

"Right so I mostly did just deliver food, but there was one time there was something weird in a pizza delivery."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, there were these little baggies with something kinda powdery in them."

"Could you tell what it was?"

"Well I wasn't sure, but I figured it couldn't be good so I threw them out. I didn't want to be a drug delivery guy, you know?"

"Sure."

"So I ditched the things, but then the guy I delivered the pizza to asked me if the place had forgotten anything and I got really worried so I just stuttered that I didn't think so. He rolled his eyes and said he'd make a call and then closed the door in my face without giving me a tip."

"So you thought it was a drug thing?"

"Well at first I thought I was being paranoid. But then each time I ditched the packets, the customer was annoyed. Then my boss told me that we had to talk and I just knew he had to be a kingpin so I faked my own death."

"Why did you come back then?"

"Well while I was on the run, I ordered a pizza."

"What a colossally dumb thing to do if you think a kingpin wants you dead."

"But wait, let me finish. When I got the pizza, there were little powdery packets. I thought this was a sign that I had been found, but I asked the delivery guy what they were and he told me they were--"

"Parmesan."

"How did you know?"

"Because a ton of pizza places do that, you idiot!"

"Okay, well I didn't know that."

"You were a food delivery guy! How could you not know!"

"Okay, so I'm unobservant. Sue me."

"I can't believe you...So why did you eat all of my cereal?"

"Oh, I thought me screwing with you would let you know I was still alive. So really, I should be mad at you for not understanding my clue when you think about it."

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
