The interview was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. From the moment I stepped into the building, the walls seemed to hum faintly, shifting colors like a mood ring. The receptionist smiled without blinking, directing me to a room that felt too large, with chairs arranged in a perfect circle. When the panel arrived, they didn’t introduce themselves. Instead, they asked questions that sounded more like riddles than actual inquiries: “If your ambition had a shadow, how heavy would it be?” Another asked me to describe my greatest weakness using only animal sounds.
The clock on the wall spun counterclockwise the entire time, and every so often, the lights flickered as if the building itself was listening. At the end, no one said whether I passed or failed. They just handed me a blank envelope and told me I’d “know the outcome when I’m ready.”

Want me to make it even stranger and more surreal (like a dream) or more comedic and absurd (like a parody)? Or both?
