episode 25

you do another ear check, this time with the help of a mirror.

your ears are indeed on the same place where you last saw them. a single glance would be enough to confirm this. however, you keep studying yourself in the mirror for a good couple of minutes. something looks different on you, but you can't pin it down.

after gazing at your own image in an investigative-ish, mainly narcissistic sort of way, you finally note the strange smile in your face. it looks really odd and you could swear it wasn’t there before you went to bed.

episode 23

you’re shaking like a leaf and your pyjamas are about to get wet once again. it’s the terrifying fear of having your ears (and other concerning body parts) chopped off by the POP authority as an arguably well-deserved disciplinary action for your nocturnal misbehaving.

episode 20

you quickly check under your blankets fearing for the worse but find no immediate answer. for the first time in your life, you are unable to tell the difference between sweat, urine and other bodily fluids.

the case requires further investigation. you consider 3 possible explanations for your wet pyjamas:

alternative one. the first idea that comes to your dirty mind is that you might have had a wet dream. very unlikely, considering your age. so you move to…

alternative number two. bed wetting. it is true that the fear of confronting POP have made you pee in your pants once before but, according to your nose, this seems not to be the case this time, so your best guess is…

alternative number three, none of the above. you decide that the bodily fluid in question must be of the salty kind and if now you find yourself in a pool of sweat as you wake up, most likely it’s just because you went to bed with one partner, I mean, one blanket too many.

episode 14

the space might be endless and you are having a ball out there, but unfortunately all good things must come to an end. like the spaceman that must return to his spaceship at risk of drifting off into space, you must return from orbit to your POP reality under penalty of having your ears chopped off. you've always feared POP for that. you've heard about the severe punishments they apply to those who do not follow their strict music policy, it scares the hell out of you. at this point you might be courageous enough to defy gravity but perhaps you are not ready to defy POP just yet.

episode 13

tonight you have experienced something out of this planet. you're into orbit now, dancing among the stars in the vast infinity of space. you might have danced among POP stars before but this is something else! the milky way serves you as a glittered, naturally sparkly dancefloor while you gaze at the mesmerizing beauty of our galaxy. shame you won't remember any of this when you wake up...

you carry on with your dancing, following your very own, improvised choreography enthusiastically. your dance movements have become a little more elaborate, maybe a bit too elaborate for a not-so-skilled dancer like you.
