The Bizarre Chronicles of Failed Jokes
Once upon a time, in a town that never truly remembered its mornings — the clocks, they ticked sideways — a place
where echoes had personalities and shadows were known to sing, lived a storyteller named Eli.
One day, Eli woke up with the distinct sense of having tasted his own lavender thoughts in the midnight breeze.
It was, as they say, déjà vu whispering sweet nothings in his ear.
Eli wandered into the Dream Café where the barista was an existential poem in disguise, brewing cups of uncertainty
mixed with a sprinkle of old pages. He heard a woman, her voice like silver against the rusted days of monotony,
telling a joke. But it had been told before — in another life, perhaps during an unbirthday party for an unshaped
rabbit that resided in his dreams.
"Why did the scarecrow win an award?" she asked, her smile bent like an unfinished melody.
"Because he was outstanding in his field," Eli replied, not knowing whether it was him or the universe finishing the line.
Laughter sprinkled the air, mixing with the aroma of cinnamon and lost dialogues, a tapestry woven out of
forgotten punchlines.
These jokes, they failed and yet succeeded. In the mirror, Eli saw each word ripple, returning as a question more than an answer.
