Aesthetics Over Plot, by ro-han

Description: After losing your job as a well paid biologist, you have been living rather ... let's say frugally. With the oppurtunity of getting invited to one of your buccaneer friend's party/banquet (really though?), you are determined to get the next job. But your potential bosses involve a omniscent mind reading cactus, a really cool donkey, and a wall. How would you win the job? 

Author Statement: Most of my projects are written with the aim to write a story so ridiculous that the unexpected twists and turns appear like a relief, and I hope the readers will find themselves laughing out loud at the absurdity of the whole premise and twists.
