Update to Combat Laziness

I've been neglectful of this blog, so I have a few resolutions to follow: 1. Post every 2 weeks, preferably on a Sunday. 2. Write parts of the story every night to beat the Sunday deadline. 3. Look for inspiration everywhere. Hopefully, these resolutions would keep me in line.

Out of Order

Thinking it gross to ask for her roll of toilet back, Jill said, “You can keep it,” and went out of the cubicle.

As she was washing her hands, singing the Happy Birthday song, two maintenance personnel burst into the ladies’ washroom.

The lankier man complained, “Dude, it’s just a stuck door. It’s been three days since it was reported. Why didn’t you just unscrew the hinges?”

The other guy, noticing Jill, looked at her and apologized for suddenly coming into the washroom as he took down a sign saying “OUT OF ORDER.”

With a sudden spine-tingling sensation, Jill fainted.

Vicious Cycle

According to most Indian religions, we determine how our next life would be. Live right, and we’ll be born into a higher state of existence known as bodhisattva – the escape from the karmic cycle of reincarnation. However, live poorly, and it also turns the wheel of fate against us. Usually, it’s a price we’ll pay in the next life, but what if on one rare occurrence, a more violent, vicious cycle starts within a lifetime?

Pink Stilettos

Live by the gun, die by the gun. This quotation applies to those who are so immersed into something that their lives revolve around it until their deaths. Criminals, for example, with the advent of guns, makes their living using guns but usually dies from a bullet shot right out of one. But what of little ladies that love shoes?

Diana in the Darkness

Darkness. What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Death? Evil? Despair? Answering any of those won’t make a person any less; in fact, those answers constitute the norm. However, does the norm always hold true, or is it like the English language that has rules, and to each one, an exception occurs? Most probably, a girl named Diana would say that there are always exceptions. She’d say that it could be good, a refuge, a veil, or even a shield that could prevent evil from happening. If only should say it, but alas, her story would not allow her to do so.

When You Want It the Most

“When you want it the most / there’s no easy way out”

The song was subdued in the background as Giles was staring at his monitor.

He loved staring at his desktop wallpaper. It was Window’s default wallpaper – New Bliss.jpg. The deep blue hues in the sky made him feel calm and cool while the white parts of the clouds gave him a light feeling. The vibrant green of the field beneath made him remember his childhood, running around in a wide open space.

“How I wish I can be there,” Giles said to himself beneath a huff of a breath.

Looking for Aliens

"Angelina, there are no aliens!" said Juancho.
Irritated, Angelina exclaimed, "Well, keep looking! I saw the orb land right about here."

Out of the Darkness

There are no rats hiding in this cabinet, fool! Don't disturb me!" screamed the goblin at Mark.
