Sean, I think Henry needs to take a personal day. Maybe a week, if he's got any vacation time left. Just a break to flush all those negative vibes out of his system. Wipe the slate clean and start fresh.
Thanks, Jon! The H names/words throughout was my attempt at making the reader feel out of breath. It was sooooo much fun writing this. One of my favorites. Thanks to you and the Sum Flux crew for the prompt and inspiration.
I appreciate that we know how Henry feels about this office and the people in it without you telling us. The desire for water met with the suggestion of hemp milk is a perfect example. This was great.
Aw, another reading. For me, it wasn't funny, but horribly tender and sad. From his life, where joy seems absent; his lunch - a double disappointment, of clothes & food; and his escape into delusion, which is especially undignified in this portrayal.
It's tragic. And it's what a lot of people feel at places where they're never able to fully connect with the people around them. Or nature. Thanks for reading and this thoughtful comment.

So good. Man.
Thanks, Ken! ❤️
Working in an office will do this to you
Absolutely.
So much to love here: all the H names, the poster, the realism at the office, tight prose, the flow is strong in this one. You’re a crafty sommbatch

This one was strangely easy to identify with.
And I loved all the alliteration.
Thank you! ❤️ It was fun trying to make the reader feel like they are hyperventilating haha

Thank you, Zachary! The hemp milk felt like the perfect addition. Gotta hit it with the hard Hhhhh sound. haha
Dude! So good, that ending was the perfect payoff. Now I wanna go for a swim in the worst kind of way.
Thank you, Bob! I appreciate the read and comment. A nice cold dip would be nice! ha
Henry should get EOM.
What's that? haha
Employee of the Month! haha
Ohh haha yeah, maybe that would have helped. Some gd appreciation!
Oh my god, Henry! PTO, my man, and get thee to the mountains!
Liz! Thanks for reading my story. Get thee to the mountains indeed! haha

Love that ending
Thanks, Keith!
Great setup for a good laugh at the end. Poor Henry.
He’s having his best day! Thanks for reading, Nick!
Henry has realy internalized this whole "self-care" thing. Absolutley LOVED the ending, holy moly
Thanks, Will! ❤️
Shony this is your second toilet story to my memory. are toilets the new birds? I LOVE the instruction to read it out loud. A+
I think I'm done with toilets. I mean writing about them. I'll still use them.
🤞
Omg I feel this in my soul right now, escaping the madness with any delusion would be welcome. Great story!
<3 Thank you, Melissa! Def taken from real life haha
And this is why we write lol, cheaper than therapy
I'm howling! 🤣🤣🤣 I love this so much.
