I am relatively easy to predict given my habits, routines, and modes but I can't seem to overcome the compounding effects of my (in)decisions. I must examine a snapshot, a slice over the course of weeks, for clues on how I might be able to determine the trajectory of my life as-so-far as I can influence it.

Stories...

Inside a building in the neighbourhood of Coti at sunrise, Cody opened their eyes to a splitting headache. They spent the morning together, pushing against each other between modes of action. Cody needed to get to work on time because they'd been late a fair number of times recently. No one's said anything, but they want to get ahead of the issue and leave it in the past as transient, silent observation. Before long it'd grow to rumour then threat then disciplinary action. Not that Cody needed the stick, it's just that the thought of the whole situation gave them anxiety. So they forgot about it over drinks with friends. Clearly it didn't want to be forgotten and manifested itself as this headache, growing from subtle nag to dull throb.

Inside a building in the neighbourhood of Coti at sunrise, I opened my eyes to a splitting headache. We spent the morning together, pushing against each other between modes of action. I needed to get to work on time because I'd been late a fair number of times recently. No one's said anything yet, but I want to get ahead of the issue and leave it in the past as transient, silent observation. Unchecked, it'd grow to rumour then threat then disciplinary action. Not that I need the stick, it's just the thought of the whole situation fills my mental pool with a haze. So I forgot about it over drinks with friends. Clearly it didn't want to be forgotten, however, and manifested itself as this headache, growing from subtle nag to dull throb.
