Just a single chapter

Only nine days left before this challenge ends, so why not read my entry for this one: Tap, Tap, Malady It's not much of the typical writing style that I post, but I hope anyone who reads it can still enjoy the story. This is only one of the chapters that I plan to work … Continue reading Just a single chapter

Fire Starter

This is the last day that I see the light. The last day I hear the people's cries. The last... the first time I shall scream back. I'm innocent. "Liar, liar," they shouted. "Hang him." "Kill him." I'm innocent. When did it all start? Firebreather, firefighter, fire eating people alive The last... the first time … Continue reading Fire Starter

Patalastas

I haven't seen much TV shows for the couple of years that I stayed here. Mostly because I can't understand the rationale about the neverending cycle of love-fight-love-trial-happy ending stories bombarding the tube nowadays. Still, it's a continuous fascination of people around the globe. Young, middle-aged, old, single, in a relationship, or married, everyone loves … Continue reading Patalastas

Metallic Memory

Three-thirty in the afternoon, the whole small town of Shale grew quiet. The cool, strong winds came and Alex looked out of the window and saw it all. The sky was blue with the peaceful shades of soft white clouds. The sun was hiding behind them, taking a break. Alex knew better, and closed her … Continue reading Metallic Memory

Guest

The clock strikes three-thirty Everyone stayed quiet and still A glass shattered on the table No one was silent, screams! Everyone, all at the same time The doors locked suddenly People hammering them to be free One screamed, he got splinters on his hands Then the place slowly lit up Five minutes, they though, no … Continue reading Guest

Books for an Old Soul

Personally, there is a different feeling whenever I flip through pages of books. The new and the old ones, I tend to be more attracted to the latter. The smell of old, thrift shop books are intoxicating, and yes it's strange but I sniff through some of the pages. It's just me 😉 Every reader … Continue reading Books for an Old Soul
