"Good Morning."
"Morning. The note for the day´s here?"
"Yeah, sure. Here´s yours."
"Alright, great. Okay...okay...good. I won´t do this, I won´t do that. Certainly not this. Oh, look, a minor accident on my way back from work. Broken bone in my arm. Who should I send?"
"What about Five?"
"No. I can´t. I had Five have my torn ACL the last time. I think I`ll send...Three. Yes, Three. I had Three go to your cousins party last week and he had a great time."  
"That was Three? We said we`d have our Twos do it."
"What´s the difference."
"The difference? Matching number, matching couples, you forget? The last time we had my Seven sent away with your Two we got a call from the Ministry of Relations, asking us whether we were serious about that divorce."
"Oh, right."
"You`ll have Nine do something today?"
"Why?"
"Here. An exhibition. Last day today and I thought I`ll have Nine go and maybe you want to join me."
"Yeah, sure."
"Does Four still have your third-string job?"
"Huh...ah, since day before yesterday not anymore. I thought that was on your daynote right there."
"You know something? We could distribute all the stuff today on all of our Nines and have a pleasant day at home. I mean, there´s nothing glorious or spirit-shattering on our notes that we have to attend, really. We can stay here and we can talk and when we´re done talking we can...oh, Christ!"
"What?"
"Where is he?"
"Who?"
"Where? You are Two. Where is he?"
"Oh."
"Oh?"
"You remember, there was a day last month when I got up before you, brought you breakfast to the bed, you remember that? The only day I got up before you."
"Yes. I. Do."
"One died that night. I deleted it from your note. No use getting all worked up when you still got nine more, right? Darling?"
"..."
"That means there are one, maybe two Items I`ll have to do myself, but till then we can stay in bed and snuggle. Darling? Dear? Is that alright?"
"..."

An old semi-satirical piece of sci-fi silliness that I dug up because I needed cheering up (not that this is particularly cheerful - maybe I just needed distraction).

Maybe it's enjoyable for someone.

He he he he.

My cousin Jack used to use the term "Awkwardy." It was a blend of irony and awkwardness, he usually used it in refference to comedic situations and themes in anime. Anyway, this is full of awkwardy.
:iconcharonferryman:
Awkwardy sounds appropriate for certain.

Reminds me, if I turn on the letter personality/sub-synesthesia awareness, awkward gives me all kinds of troubles. It conveys its meaning by the very shape of its letters, don't you think?

Oh, yes. "wkw" is trouble enough without the geeky "ard" at the end. "awk" is a fairly unpleasant thing too. he he.
:iconcharonferryman:
Never say foolishness isn't good for anything - prepare for the tale of Aaron the Awkwardy Aardvark, coming soon (who was it that coined the phrase Awkward Aardvark?).

I found it - the "Awkward Aarkvard" is a children's book by an African writer called Mwalimu. I knew I remembered it from somewhere.
