Mostly cloudy again.
And people are mostly bored or boring, amusing themselves via flashing lights and lasers - the most affordable of which are solar-powered.
You've been hit in the back by one, but it was too cloudy to pierce; you almost feel gratitude for that.

2025 was pretty rough for most of us. But you're still here, bro. "But I didn't achieve my goals" Maybe not, but working toward them is never a waste. The things you managed to do, work on, learn, and create is plenty of an achievement. Give yourself some credit. You did your best. You did great.

Science had been working on a cure for hay fever for decades. When it finally happened, they made life more comfortable for millions. They had gone to the source and mutated pollen itself. It was too late before they realized that the plants could no longer reproduce.

It is easy for tyrants to pretend they want peace
While sitting inside their steel towers
Protected with the blood
Of the young and brave
Who venture forth into wastelands
A thousand reincarnations are insufficient to atone

Horror Writing Prompt no. 2036: pestilence
Walking through the narrow streets. He waore a crow-shaped mask on his face. As he walked closer to the house marked with a black 'X'. With a cold chill went down his spine. He realized that his curse had killed them too.

The #chicken is no coward-
Really they’re rather forward
Modern day Dinosaurs
We have learned to master,
They’re bawk is a mighty roar
But their eggs we lay to waste:
If they knew they’d be less toward
And maybe a lot more stalwart.
