Short Story

A story thats supposed to be readable in one sitting. Therefore, short stories usually are less than 50 pages. The 'shortest' short story is "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn". Its a okay short story, as in those six words, you can sense a tragedy, like the baby died, or the mother had a miscarriage. That shows it can be considered a short story, as you got a sense of something from those 6 words.

Mike: I just finished my short story, its 3 pages long.
Liam: Good, as long as it shows a good story, its fine.

Nothing

The absence of something. Its actually something, since the absence of something must be something. Nothing is something, or we wouldn't be able to define it. It is truly just a word we made up to help us understand our world, since we say theres nothing in space, yet theres something there, but almost nothing. You can never do nothing, even in death.

Bill: Liam, what are you doing?
*Liam is sitting on the couch staring into space*
Liam: Nothing.
Bill: No, your breathing, your thinking, your aging, etc.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO NOTHING, EVEN WHEN DEAD, YOUR DECAYING!!!

Life

Its an illusion. Life means nothing to some, and everything to others. War is an illusion. Peace is an illusion, even love is. Emotions a illusion. These are all words made up to explain the unexplainable to all of us. Life, its not real. For all we know, we could be in a simulation, with no past memories, it could be a test to see if we are worthy of the world we are really in. There are some things we cannot explain, like life. People just want to believe that we are here for a purpose, not just to die. One thing thats not an illusion, is hope. Everyone hopes for something, whether its that someone dies, or that a loved one will survive through a coma. Hope is the only non-illusion.

Mike: Whats life?
Bill: An illusion.
Liam: Like most things.

Humans

The most complex creature alive, they can be nice, and helpful, or they can murder you without a second thought. They have the power to help other creatures, and to save the environment, but they usually get tricked into the lies of their Government, which is just a title that people give meaning. They can help people in poverty, and some are kind enough to do so, these humans are the best. Some become greedy and power hungry, and are cruel. They often pursue pointless hings, like looking like a popular person. They put much value in pieces of paper, and metal, and fight pointless wars against eachother, just to look powerful, or to get resources, just because they don't want to share their resources with others. When will humans realize they are why there are so many problems on Earth? They are quite complex creatures, as they can lie, and can hurt other humans, they are quite interesting. Overall, humans are unique, as almost no 2 are alike. One thing they all have in common, humans big and small, young and old, love their devices, big and small. If they would just get off them for just a day, they may learn much more, and may love eachother more, and learn that they are all one species, human, no matter their skin color, language, accent, religion, gender, wealth, or their sexual orientation. They are all humans.

Humans are all the same species, no matter if their rich or poor, they all can choose to do good in the world, but many do not, because they are afraid of what everyone else will think of them. Look at all the good stories, the stories of Malala, and others, they stood up for whats right, and even if they got shot, shunned, or jailed, in the end, they succeeded, because they stood for whats right, and they didn't let themselves get stepped over, they didn't care what others thought of them, they only cared about doing whats right.

Door

Something you open, by pushing or pulling, depending on what the door says to do. There is also these doors that have a ittle knob on them. You twist the knob, then push, or pull, whichever way is easiest. Then there's magical doors that sense when you are near, and open for you. Some doors have a metal bar across it that you push, some have handles to pull it open, and some have nothing, so it's a door you open from the other side. Most are locked at night, and require a key, which every doors key is different. If you cannot open a door, you are very fucking retarded.

Mike: Oh look a door. Wait, how do I open it again!?!?
Bill: Push it.
Mike: Didn't work.
Bill: Pull on it?
Mike: Nope, but I see a knob.
Bill: Twist it, then push. The knob I mean.
Mike: It worked!
Bill: Good thing it wasn't locked!
Mike: What does a locked door do.
Bill: You are so very fucking retarded if you cannot open a simple fucking door.

Time

The greatest illusion of all, life being the second greatest illusion. Time, we all have a limited amount of it, but we waste it. Why? Maybe we humans don't truly understand something we made up thousands of years ago. We always want to know about the future, but what about now? What about the enviroment. The future is dead if we don't act in the now, if we don't act in the present. We must always learn from the past to make the most of the future.

Lily: I have 3 hours of free time today!
*3 hours later*
Lily: Woah! It feels like its only been 1 hour!

Explain

To tell someone about something, like whats it for, whats it do, how much it costs. That's pretty much it.

I will explain why I always pick the people:
1) Mike
2) Liam
3) Lily
4) Bill
I picked those names since they are nice and short, and they came to my mind first. There, I just explained why I chose those names.

Example:
Mike: What's it like to have a dishwasher? Explain to me why it's so nice to have, and why I should spend my money on one.
Liam: Well, first off, you don't have to hand clean dishes, it does it for you. Also, it usually gets all the stuff off.
Mike: Explain why it's easier than hand washing stuff.
Liam: First off, you just have to put the dishes in, select the settings, start it, and enjoy life for the few hours you have before having to put them away.
Mike: Oh. Sounds like it's pretty easy, I'll get one tomorrow!
