Challenge [299]: Daily Celebrations

Challenge: [299] Birthday
Title: Daily Celebrations
Word Count: 110
Notes: Not entirely happy with the way I’ve written Luxord here. I find him to be much more elegant than I’ve been able to express while keeping this brief, but expanding it didn’t help either. Concrit welcomed if you have advice on this.

Of all the worlds he has visited on his work, Wonderland is the one Luxord finds the most comfortable.
Perhaps, he thinks, because the insanity of the place is acknowledged and embraced, rather than hidden behind a façade of civilized science.
Perhaps, he thinks, because he finds the concept of an un-birthday to be hilarious and, he admits to himself, bizarrely comforting.
Perhaps, he thinks, because there is a day to celebrate the second chances granted by an unexpected un-life.
Perhaps, he thinks, because an un-birthday is appropriate for such as he.
He hides his thoughts behinds his teacup, raising it in a salute as he smiles down the table.
