Floating Monoliths Make You Late

God I hate these fucking floating monoliths. They always go, like, 10mph below the speed limit and if you try to pass them they just fucking distort reality around them until you’re back behind them again. One of them cut me off on the highway once and when I honked it banished me to a hoary netherworld where I wandered, lost and alone, for untold centuries, trapped in the liminal space between what could have been and what never was, black stars dotting the bright infinity yawning out around me as I drove out of that thought and time, through endless ruined cities and blighted lands unmarked by the sun’s cold rays, and when I finally got out I was more than 20m late for my dentist appointment and they had to reschedule me.

A surreal red monolith blocks a lonely forest road while the caption describes an absurdly cosmic experience caused by trying to pass it. The joke escalates ordinary road rage into an epic journey through alternate dimensions, ending with the mundane inconvenience of missing a dentist appointment.
