this is very silly, but they deserve a break

They swap places, just for the day.

The world grinds Sisyphus down and his shoulders quake with the weight while his heels sink centimeter by centimeter into the loam, but because it is a steady job that won’t be undone the moment success seems in sight, it feels to him like a chance to rest. Atlas watches a stone careen back down an incline again and again, but it’s not like anyone’s counting on him for this, and the world’s not going to end if he fails at a goal which was never designed to be achievable, and he gets to stretch his muscles in new and exciting ways.
