Microfiction: The Life of Bob

Bob woke up in the morning.

Bob rubbed his eyes.

Bob rolled out of bed.

Bob walked to the bathroom. 

Bob showered and got ready for the day.

Bob left for work.

Bob worked.

Bob ate lunch.

Bob worked.

Bob drove home.

Bob walked back in the house.

Bob sat on the couch.

Bob watched tv.

Bob ate dinner.

Bob watched tv.

Bob got sleepy.

Bob brushed his teeth and put on his pajamas. 

Bob fluffed his pillow.

Bob went to bed.

Bob slept through the night and had many dreams.

Bob did the same thing the next day.

    Hello Clay
    I think many of us are just like Bob. It seems so many of us have this pattern. Get up, work, eat, sleep. Your microfiction reminds me that we need to take some time to take care of ourselves. Everyone needs time to relax, unwind and breathe.

    Hi Clay,
    Your story about Bob's routine speaks volumes on the vicious cycle we are all trapped in. Every day our patterns follow the same course for the most part, with little difference between individuals. We are all like Bob, but that does not mean Bob is like all of us. Everyone has a general schedule but the things that separate us are the goals of our actions.

Introduction to the Eyeball Guy

  Hi there! I'm Clay Buchanan and I am a senior (kind of I am going to take an extra semester...) at OU!

You probably can agree with me when I say that eyes are really weird, but at the same time I think they are super interesting and am excited for a future in optometry.

I don't care if it is foreign soccer in a language I don't even understand, I love following, watching and playing sports. If I could sit down and have a meal wi...

Week 3 Story: The Chosen Ant

  The Chosen Ant Many years ago, a very smart farmer began to toy around with genetics, creating a new species of insect. These small and ground-limited insects were named "Ants", and the farmer loved his creation and kept them close by on the farm to watch over them. However, in time, the ants began to rebel against the wishes of the farmer. As a whole, the species were lazy, always fighting with each other, and selfish in only looking out for themselves in food collection. The farmer noticed these changes, and were displeased with his creation, except for one ant whom he named Moah. Moah respected the farmer, still following the guidelines that were set in the beginning. One day, the farmer pulled Moah out of the boundaries of the farm to tell him he was going to start the population over, in hopes the next to come would be more respectful to his wishes. Moah understood, as he had seen the changes in the actions of his species. However, the farmer told Moah he had found fav...
