Weekly Reality Check: Apr 05 - Apr 11
Seven Stories That Interrupt Your Reality — All at Once
Welcome to the Weekly Reality Check.
Every day, we interrupt reality with bite-sized fiction spun from the absurdity of human progress. This weekly roundup gathers all seven stories into one reality-bending, highly convenient package — now delivered fresh every Friday.
Prefer to read on the go, or hoard short fiction like digital candy? Paid subscribers get a sleek, downloadable PDF of this week’s stories at the end of this email.
Cruising in on the free plan? Treat me a $3 coffee and I’ll instantly hand over the PDF like a wizard passing you an enchanted scroll.
All seven stories are still free to read individually — no paywalls, no pressure.
Just your weekly dose of “wait, what?”
Let’s rewind the week, one story at a time.
The Priestess of Ceres
“They say she fed the people,” Papa said, twisting a dried olive branch with steady fingers.
Feathered Hostility
“Do not look him in the eye,” my roommate whispered, brandishing a spatula like a sword forged for battle.
Nuclear Optimism
“I saw a clip of that billionaire banker,” he said, leaning on the couch arm. “Says we’ll be fine.”
If these stories made you laugh, think, or question the state of things, my job here is done… for now. Tune in next week (every Friday) for more weekly reality checks.
