Daily writing prompt
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

My brain. A dusty, analog relic from the 1970s, still mostly operational despite decades of abuse—including microwave radiation, Military school, and those LSD-coded cereal commercials where anthropomorphic animals begged me to consume sugar with manic glee.

It’s the original model—no upgrades, just patch jobs and caffeine. Somewhere between a neurobiological antique and a haunted house full of memories that smell like Tang and existential dread.

And yes, like Descartes, I often wonder if I even own it. After all, the brain is both the operator and the operating system. It’s like trying to fix your car while driving it… with no hands… through a collapsing simulation.

But here we are. It still gets me through breakfast, deadlines, and late-night spirals about the heat death of the universe. So yeah—my brain: vintage hardware, questionable software, still in daily use.
