(Retake, Reflection, Fitness) Shattered Zen: When Tranquility Meets Trauma
The fluorescent crime scene tape sliced through the pristine white walls of YOGA SURCE like a surgical scar. Vex, Mitchell’s 20-year-old caretaker, stood frozen, Cookie Monster clutched tightly to his side—both of them staring into the violated sanctuary of wellness.
“Bro,” Vex muttered, his voice a low rumble that could crack concrete, “this is not the hot yoga vibe we signed up for.”
Cookie Monster, blue fur slightly ruffled, just blinked. Crumbs from a half-eaten cookie scattered at his feet—a bizarre crime scene decoration.
We're now listening to "What A Perfect Day for Crying" by iamnotshane, letting the raw emotion wash over us like a cathartic wave of unfiltered vulnerability.
