Episode #10: “Zoom”

Narrator: Mark

Mark attends a Zoom meeting in the loosest possible sense of the word. Camera off. Mic muted. Physically present, spiritually detached. As corporate jargon echoes in the background, he drifts into thoughts of better things—like streaming services, snacks, and meaningful silence.

This episode includes:

  • Corporate ghosting (from the inside)
  • A meditation on being muted in life and on screen
  • And the early signs that Mark is developing emotional Wi-Fi

Sometimes “working from home” just means “sitting near responsibilities.”
And that’s enough.
