Who says destiny plays fair? One minute you're basking in the warm glow of contentment, your life a comfortable rhythm of familiar joys, and the next, a rogue wave crashes over you, threatening to shatter everything you hold dear. Or perhaps you're adrift in a sea of apathy, your days a monotonous grey, until a sudden burst of sunshine - vibrant, unexpected, and utterly disorienting - breaks through the clouds, igniting a spark within you that you never knew existed. This is the essence of 'Daunted Destiny,' a story that explores the capricious nature of fate and the unpredictable twists and turns that can shatter or transform a life. Dia, a woman content in her stable marriage with the supportive Lester, finds her life thrown into disarray when Parker, a charismatic woman with a captivating past, enters her world. Torn between the familiar comfort of her marriage and the exhilarating, forbidden allure of a newfound love, Dia must confront the complexities of desire, societal expectations, and the true meaning of happiness.

Vital Signs by greggerguy

Phil's wife, Megan, and his daughter, Jilly-bean, are the reasons he gets up bright and early every morning, puts on a suit and tie, and sits in rush hour traffic on his way to a job that has become unbearable. For years, the only way he's managed to get through his workday has been by secretly exchanging an absurd photo of a monkey walking a dog with his wife, hiding it in her purse, or finding it tucked into his briefcase. At work, Phil becomes the point person for the firm's biggest client, Trollamex, a multi-national chemical manufacturer. He's tasked with hiding its deceptive practices and helping the company to dodge its accountability for ruining the lives of thousands of customers. Nearing his breaking point, Phil brings his concerns to his boss, Carl who tells Phil in barely decipherable corporate-speak that he's being overly-dramatic. When the situation escalates, Phil suffers a meltdown, jumps into his car, and takes off on a two-day road-trip where he is thrown out of a club for dancing so badly they think he's drunk, is nearly beaten to a pulp by two guys at a restaurant who call Phil a communist for not taking his kid to Disneyworld, and faces jail time when a raccoon pilfering Cheez-It's in his car attacks a police officer. When he finds the monkey/dog photo in his pocket he experiences a moment of clarity. Phil realizes that he must go home to the family he loves, quit his job, and find a way to take on Trollamex. "Vital Signs" is a cautionary tale of one man's odyssey in search of his humanity and the dangers of running off-leash.
