(Kind Of) Cliff Crisis
Dadaism stood far above where anyone could reach him, swaying dangerously in the sudden and violent winds that rose up from the canyon below. Pragmatism had given up, Geology had wandered off, but Surrealism anxiously watched his unstable mentor. Existentialism walked up behind him, laying a bracing hand on his shoulder.
“He’ll come down,” Existentialism said, “Stop worrying so much. At the end of the day, he’ll be fine and you’ll have an ulcer.”
Surrealism nodded, swallowing a lump in his throat and walking away. Sure now that he was alone, Existentialism walked directly up to the perilously perched Dadaism and shoved him, one-handed, back onto safe ground. Dadaism laughed and glared in succession.

Dadaism Seizes the Narrative
Dadaism Seizes the Narrative
Hedonism lit more cigarettes than usual. Existentialism understood. He, too, could wait until the tense midmorning left him.
He felt like an asshole.
He felt like a winner.
He wasn't at home.
“You see how I can use Intellectualism to completely hijack a story line?”
Pragmatism frowned, “Great job, Dadaism, but you’re the only one amused.”
A grin painted onto a dirty canvas was Dadaism’s face: “Logic. Two things constructed the same must be similar to each other in some respect. Amused rhymes with confused.”
Pragmatism considered playing along to end it, something about Dadaism needing to become “disabused” of his obnoxious ideas, but inevitably took the simpler route. He called Geology for a ride home.

Dadaism Leaves
Cast:
Dadaism-- cultural movement rejecting standards of art and utilizing nonsensical production
Humanism-- "a doctrine, attitude, or way of life centered on human interests or values" (Merriam-Webster)
Dadaism Leaves
Dadaism tried to rush around, tried to be involved. It’s harder for a person to be busy, he reflected, when they are so unwanted. Still, rejection produces emotions easier to deal with than…what he didn’t want. Humanism had once told him to take things slowly and believe.
Nothing could be more painful than happiness, experiencing and remembering it. Dadaism, that night, needed to drive into the desert, cut down a cactus and drag it behind his truck.
