SANDRA: Edward hasn’t come home.
He went for a walk before supper and hasn’t returned.
JORDAN: Maybe he got delayed. Lost his HAT or something.
SANDRA: NO.

[[Tighter on SANDRA.]]
SANDRA: I’ve sensed it coming for years. You know? One day he simply CEASED to be the same man I married.
And since then he’s just been biding his time.

[[Tighter on SANDRA, who is now scowling and brandishing a rifle.]]
SANDRA: He got CALLED HOME by his ALIEN MASTERS, Jordan. And THEY KNOW I know about it.
They will send an assassin clone in his place. AND I WILL BE READY FOR THAT MONSTER.

CAPTION: MEANWHILE
[[EDWARD stands outside the gate to a pasture, shaking his fist impotently at a bull who has his hat impaled on one horn.]]
EDWARD: THAT IS MY HAT.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
