Prompts = Physics, Bathroom, Task
Story 1 — Thinking About Physics
Albert Einstein, while working as a patent clerk, was able to think about physics and make remarkable discoveries.
The same didn’t happen to Herbert Blinken.
Eight years ago, Herbert watched fellow Building Permitting office workers divide the issuing of permits into multiple smaller jobs, increasing the permitting time.
He theorized cutting the job into an infinite number of smaller tasks would take an infinite amount of time to complete, creating a type of suspended animation.
Wally Wassleman has been waiting eight years to hear if he can remodel his bathroom. Herbert, meanwhile, hasn’t aged a day. Or moved at all.

Story 2 — Class Project

Jan had been given a month by her science teacher to design an experiment that would test a law, any law, of physics.
She hated school projects and would put off doing them until the very last minute, if at all. Which is how she found herself in the school bathroom trying to calm herself. How was she going to perform this one simple task?
When it was her turn, she stood in front of the class empty-handed. And then fainted.
When she came to, her teacher was there, concerned. ‘You know, testing gravity needn’t be so physically demanding.’
