Chapter 1: The Start of the Day

Some individuals kick off their mornings like playful Labrador puppies, full of energy and excitement, eager to embrace whatever the day brings.

Conversely, others begin their day resembling Basset hounds—everything sagging, including their eyelids, which seem to struggle against gravity.

For me, mornings require a border collie mentality—attempting to corral my scattered thoughts into an organized "To-do" list. Today, my agenda included updating an account with a mandatory "Terms and Conditions" agreement.

Surprisingly, I felt compelled to read the entire document. Despite the urge to dismiss it, I found myself utterly captivated. My intention to focus on my tasks vanished, but in its place, inspiration for today's Drabble emerged.

Here we go: "Terms and Conditions"

A grey alien smiled warmly while securing restraints around a man's arm.

"You'll be perfectly fine, Sir."

"But why me?" the man lamented.

The alien's smile diminished, and in a singsong, rehearsed tone, he continued:

"Do you recall that fantastic yet inexpensive phone you purchased online?"

The bewildered man nodded slowly.

"Well, Sir, it came with a 'Terms and Conditions' agreement, in which you consented to partake in some experiments and light probing."

"What?" the man exclaimed.

The alien demonstrated probing with an exaggeratedly long middle finger.

"What the F..." the man attempted to protest before losing consciousness.

"You’ve got to appreciate Earth," the alien muttered. "They really make it simple here."

The End

Feeling accomplished, I typed "The End." I crafted a Drabble that conveyed a narrative and moral. Nicely done!

I then resumed my to-do list, mindlessly clicking through agreements, as my thoughts wandered freely across the vast landscape of imagination.

I hope you enjoyed this piece! Feel free to clap, highlight, or comment—you're familiar with the routine. After all, those options might just be hidden in the "Terms and Conditions."
