The Parrot, The Goldfish & The Ticket Machine
The Ridiculous Things That Happen When One Uses Absurdity as a Clutch!
About the Book
This story is as much about the menial struggles that everybody faces, as it is an allegory which we can use to remind us that nine times out of ten, your next life issue with your boss, or family etc will almost certainly NOT be one relating to life or death. My goal when writing this short story was to simply touch upon some of the absurdities that we modern day humans accept as normal, without nothing they can do about it.
