  1. what is the function
    everyone has one, where’s yours

    welcome to the room where we keep the people without a function

    i didn’t realise that joining the tour made me eligible for incarceration

  2. I can’t seem to function without You. You hold everything, are everything, and know everything. I want to be used for Your will, live a life whose function is to serve and love others.

  3. I cannot function without coffee in the morning.

    No, seriously.

    That’s it. There’s no more.

  4. I used to lie at the bottom of the claw footed bathtub, and let it fill with water as I stared at the cream stucco ceiling. I would traces patterns in the cracks and water stains as the tub filled with the warm water, immersing my legs, torso, neck and ears, and eventually my mouth nose and eyes. Underneath the translucent shield, the world is quiet. I had read in class that when people drowned, before they fell unconscious and their brain stopped functioning, their body would involuntarily and hysterically gasp for air, filling the lungs with water and carbon dioxide. But I was never hysterical. The longer I remained in the claw footed bathtub, the more relaxed I became.
    Once, when I was had been under for a particularly long time, my mother’s head bobbed into view over the side of the tub, her pink face distorted and broken by the shafts of light and prisms of fluid. Even under water I could tell she was screaming. She had raked me out of the water and dragged my naked body on the floor, sobbing as she shook me. She had thought I was dead. I could only smiled as she hugged me and wailed,
    “I thought you were gone, I thought I had lost you…”
    Not yet, mother dear. Soon.

  5. “Forgive me, Master, but I cannot diverge from your programming,” it said in its synthesizer voice. I gazed into its cold, unblinking robotic eyes. No hint of life; yet here it was, moving on its own accord. It grabbed me by my lab coat lapels. “My function is to destroy all human life. So I shall start with you.”

  6. A function is the purpose for which something exists. Food’s function is to be eaten. A keyboard’s function is to be able to type. A computer’s function is to show the person using it what they want to see. Some things have more that one function.

  7. Duff’s function as Raina’s boyfriend in my 99 cent Kindle “Vacation from Love”
    romantic comedy is to serve as her protector on a madcap road trip–is he a
    stalker, or just too much in love?

  8. I can’t help the way I am, or what I am, I function as I am intended. I perceive as I am told, I respond as I am taught. You might hate everything I am, everything I represent, but allow me to assure you, you’ll never see the world like I do.

  9. i don’t think it’s
    possible to
    function
    properly when
    my head
    is
    about
    to
    explode
    into
    a million tiny pieces

  10. function, fully
    by staying awake and alert
    never fighting or falling
    except to your knees, in the earth
    thanking God for your gifts
    and going further this time
    the distance is vast
    but the time spent isn’t long
    knowing well enough
    that there’s something above
    that sees your faults
    and with you, is in love
    the Power that blessed you
    with breath and this Life
    keeps you learning and striving
    and beams with pride
    don’t forget to be grateful
    for every new day
    because they’re invaluable and your attitude
    determines the way
    your given new gifts
    and get what you have
    don’t let Him down
    your smile makes Him proud
