Last fall, as part of our "Modern Love at 13" project, we asked readers to submit haikulike versions of their love stories. We received, well, a few (ahem, north of 9,000). Here is a batch of 13-word stories that caught our eye...

1. You're more hungover than the rest of the office...for the third time this week (and you've only had three work days so far). Despite the caffeine-inspired boost that helped you achieve the impossible...

Why bum yourself out with unrealistic resolutions to get fit, eat healthy, and stop smoking? Let 2018 welcome the new you, the happier you. Get fat, gorge on junk food, and jump off that wagon...

...well, technically there are no rules, but rather than being a cycling cynic, as both an optimist and an avid Tel Aviv biker, I would like to share my two(-wheel) cents with those ready to hit the road (and possibly a pedestrian or two).

If Stranger Things taught us anything, it's that for every great city, there is an equally terrifying 'Upside Down' lurking underneath the nearest research center. From ghost buses to trash tossed on the pavement literally inches...

It's the end of another grueling work week and I've been lying in bed since 16:00. Fresh off a breakup and already drowning in this terrifying abyss of free social time, I flip through my mental Rolodex of thinning girlfriends... 

It's hot. You're bothered. The insatiable Middle Eastern heat has not only put a damper on your style, it has put a damper on your relationship as well. While these may not be relationship deal breakers...

The Ginger. One would think that ginger-ism, Casper-itus, and all associated symptoms were non-existent in a country that sees the sun more than not. Well, think again. There is a subculture of melanin-deprived red heads hiding beneath...

1. Tandem electric biking. Not only can Tel Avivians fit two people on one bike, they can fit one person on a bike while the other stands straight up in the back, defying all laws of gravity. Take that Sir Isaac Newton...
