I'm only sharing the one prompt today because I wanna work more with the other one and I'm not ready to share it yet.
Prompt: Only human
He kept humming the bars of a song. The earworm was stuck firmly implanted in his brain as he tried to work on a budget report, a memo about quarterly spending, and reformatting a spreadsheet his coworker had messed up. But what was the song?
He caught himself humming it while alone on the elevator at work and wondered again for the thousandth time what the song was and why it was stuck in his head.
After lunch, he put his headphone in and tried to drown it out by listening to any other song on his playlist. When that didn’t work he decided maybe he should try to find out the song title. This way he could eradicate it by listening to the real song.
He opened up the app on his phone to identify songs and hummed. Yea, that didn’t work. Maybe Jessica knew what song it was, he sent her a text explaining the situation and then a voice text of him humming. There was no reply from her. She was probably laughing at him.
The afternoon was a discovery bust but he could still only hum what amounted to one line of the song.
Leaving work, headphones in again, blaring rock music to drown out the worst earworm he could remember ever having he headed home.
He walked in the door and Jessica was on the couch scrolling on her phone, the short bursts of sounds let him know she was scrolling TikTok.
“Did you get my text?”
She looked up. Do you mean this song, she scrolled to a video and there was the song!
“Yes! You’re the reason it’s been stuck in my head all day!” He dropped down onto the couch next to her to see a video of the Jonas Brothers concert, they were singing the song while a couple got engaged in the crowd.
At the bottom of the screen scrolled Only Human - The Jonas Brothers.
