CEMENT Ordinary material. Extraordinary problems. People get stuck. In habits. In relationships. In bad decisions. Sometimes quite literally in concrete. Cement is a collection of dry, absurd and darkly comic short stories about ordinary people caught in situations that become increasingly difficult to explain. A funeral goes wrong. A convoy rolls out like the Wild West. A meeting without purpose. A receipt becomes a record of a life. And sometimes, the best thing to do with a perfectly good piece of concrete is absolutely nothing. Standalone stories. Unexpected situations. Very little sense of escape.

A mysterious town that attracts everything random and chaotic. A superpowered teenager trying to live his life. The stupidest students of all time. All of these things together cause daily chaos in Hooliganville

When ordinary civil servant Elias wakes one morning to find his life entwined in the bewildering workings of a faceless justice system, he embarks on a labyrinthine journey to prove his innocence in a case he neither understands nor recalls being part of. In a world governed by nonsensical rules, where every ally might be an adversary, Elias's pursuit of clarity becomes a harrowing descent into a surreal reality that mirrors the inner struggles of humanity itself.

A piece from high school: "You pray to Allah a thousand times a day. Where's he now?" I was just riding my bike in the driveway. My parents told me not to, but I thought it was a dumb rule. That was before the bike got stolen. Before the armored man kicked in our front door. Before I ended up in the back of a white van next to a kid named Aabid who wanted to show me his papercut. Apparently we're terrorists. I watched a lot of Law and Order, so I know my rights - but I'm not sure that's going to help here. A darkly funny, sharply political story about two Muslim kids, a grieving guard, and a system that never needed proof.

He walked into a saloon. He left behind silence, blood, and a story no one would ever tell the same way twice. In a land ruled by reputation and revenge, one man doesn't speak unless it's already too late. And when he does-someone's about to drink something they shouldn't. _A Western soaked in smoke, myth, and the kind of violence that makes legends whisper._

An absurdist piece about a dystopian corporation hellbent on one thing: Sandwiches. If you liked the Cave Johnson dialogue from Portal 2, this one should (hopefully) win you over. If you hate your job or your life, this is the perfect read! This is a piece I had previously published on the site https://thehibiscusreview.blog. If you were brave enough to click the link you'll notice it doesn't take you anywhere. That is because the domain expired and the owners were too lazy to renew it. I don't know about how people feel about publishing pieces twice, but because the site was very little and had a one year lifespan I see it fit that I rerelease it with a few tweaks in hopes of gaining an audience from it. Oh how I know that won't work, but it's fun to lie to yourself.

In a quirky, futuristic cube-shaped bank, adult Cubioids Erick, Landon, and Moréna are faced with the task of depositing a mysterious giant cube. Erick, the responsible and stressed Cubioid, tries to follow the rules, while Landon, the younger, chaotic Cubioid, constantly makes things worse with his improvisation. Moréna, the graceful and strict manager, attempts to maintain order but only adds to the chaos with her elegant yet clumsy interventions. From the moment they try to move the oversized cube, mishaps ensue: the cube bounces, ricochets, knocks over cubed plants, cubed coffee, and even triggers cubed snack explosions. As the trio navigates escalating chaos, they finally realize they must work together, combining Erick's precision, Landon's spontaneity, and Moréna's grace. Through a comedic "mechanical dance," they finally guide the cube perfectly into the deposit machine. The bank declares the cube the "Cube of the Month," and other Cubioids celebrate, taking selfies and admiring the absurd but adorable outcome. Exhausted yet laughing, the trio stands amid the cubed chaos, satisfied with their success. The short ends with a playful Cubioid-style logo, cementing the quirky, futuristic, and comedic tone of the story.

For anyone who has ever felt like content instead of a person One morning, Robin typed three words into Google. No capital letters. No question mark. Just flat, unceremonious: should i die The algorithm had an answer. Actually, the algorithm had fifteen million answers. Sponsored. Monetized. Discount-coded. What followed was a single day that became a media circus, a bidding war, a TED Talk, a podcast, a Netflix pitch, a Broadway musical, a cryptocurrency. Die Like a Star is a darkly funny, razor-sharp satire about the world we've built: one where your pain is a product, your grief is a brand opportunity, and even the desire to disappear gets a sponsorship deal. Robin didn't want to die famous. He just wanted to be left alone. The world had other plans.
