Who's going to speak?

We were all just staring at each other. The meeting was supposed to be over, but someone had to give the weekend update. No one wanted to volunteer.

The awkward pause that stretches

It was one of those moments where you can hear the clock ticking. Someone cleared their throat. I think I saw a few people look down at their notes, pretending to be busy.We all knew we had to pick someone. But saying a name felt like picking a fight. Or showing favoritism. It was easier to just sit there in the quiet.

Letting the wheel decide for us

I pulled up the decision wheel on my phone. It felt like a relief, honestly. Taking the choice out of our hands.I just typed in everyone's name. No discussion, no debate. We all watched the screen spin. It was almost funny, how much weight we'd put on a simple thing.The tension just melted away. It wasn't my decision anymore. It wasn't anyone's.

When chance feels fairer

There's something clean about it. No one can argue with a random result. No hidden agendas, no politics.

The quiet after the spin

The person it landed on just nodded. A small smile, maybe. And we all moved on. Just like that.
