"Vina, do you want to change your name?" the man asked her seductively. "Why do you look so displeased when I call you by your name?""Shut up!" Vina snapped. "I can't possibly change the name my mother gave me!"The man in front of her just smiled and then just walked away from in front of her.Vina Hansen sighed. She hopes to tell her readers that she is a realistic person even though she likes to fantasize. However, what was she supposed to say other than that her brain might have been damaged and she was having severe hallucinations? Maybe it is just a sad nightmare, maybe it's a reality that only exists in the minds of lunatics. Vina could almost imagine how the readers raised their eyebrows with disapproval expressions at her.They should know I am sighing by now, she thought.She really wants to type a status on her social media that she is not a good person who should take up the valuable time of her readers.Vina is a girl, twenty years and three months old, who had never act
She was a woman who looked so graceful. Her face was like the moonlight in the night: soft, beautiful and radiant. Her hair was jet black; even so, streaks of gray were clearly visible in her hair that hung down to her back. Her fingers were slender and smooth, her body was in a pale blue silk dress; she is like the image of a goddess in the past. When she turned around, a smile crossed her face. However, you could not help but see how sad her eyes seemed to be. A middle-aged man came up to her. His body is sturdy and the destiny of the life he lives makes his expression in such a way: flat, unreachable. However, when he saw his wife smiling, that face was no longer frozen. A smile now broke the violence on his face. This man, without saying anything, took the woman in his arms, caressing the back of the figure he loved so much. In the silence of the night, on a quiet hill and among the singing of the crickets that seemed to chime in rhythm, they were silent, hugging and enjoying t
“Is she really not at home?” Venus muttered to herself.The girl lives in Koba, Central Bangka, where everything feels so close to her. She had just returned from school, changed her clothes, and went straight to the kitchen. Today the event at her school was just doing community service. The worst part is, the sellers in the canteen seems like they just decided to take a break from selling together somehow. There was only one and the itinerant vendor didn't provide heavy food such as rice or something. Fortunately, this community service didn't reach midday.Even so, for some reason, Venus thinks eating at home is better, than eating at a tavern and wasting her pocket money. Moreover, she also believes that her stepmom is out. One of her friends claimed to see her stepmom riding in her friend's car. Whatever it is, Venus remains wary. She decided to just give up, even though she wasn't quite sure.Of course, giving up is a bad sign.“Ah, honey. What are you doing?”The voice was so sw
A few minutes later, after her lonely eating event which was as gloomy as the gray clouds, Venus is already in Tanjung Beach, not far from where she ate before. The girl sits on one of the fallen trees. Beside her, grew a few trees that she didn't know exactly what their name was. A breeze brings with its salty scent of sea water, lulling the mind of anyone who inhales it. The fishy smell of the sea can be faintly wafted from the murky shoreline.Venus turned her head and saw several people kneeling on the shore some distance from her. Three small children seemed to be chasing each other. Their laughter was carried along by the wind, even as they plunged into the rather murky water. Those on their knees seemed to be digging for sand and occasionally stuffing things into containers such as plastic bags or jars. Venus guessed they were looking for mussels. One of them turned to look at her. The woman seemed to grin. It's hard to see the details of a person's face at that distance.Venus
Venus is still there when the sky began to turn orange. She no longer cried. The object she is still holding had given its own strength to her. It was only a photograph, but Venus always learned many things from it as if her mother's soul live there, always there whenever Venus needs. Suddenly a voice startled her. The attention of the girl was momentarily diverted. She tilted her head to listen more closely. It was very clear that the girl's hearing wasn't wrong. However, she wasn't sure. The sound was like the sound of something spinning. Venus kept looking back and forth then found something behind her.The girl looked down; maybe a little too narrowed eyes.From among the deciduous shrubs, a spiral black color appeared. The object continued to spin with a very slow hum. Venus blinked, trying to understand what she was seeing. Venus tilted her head slightly. She would be ashamed of herself if that thing suddenly decided to attack her nose.Venus turned around while putting her moth
A sudden noise woke Venus. The girl struggled to open her eyes and flicker at the clock. Eight o'clock at night.Venus complained and cursed in her heart as she hugged back her bolster pillow. A second later she sat shocked when the door to her room was banged from outside.“VENUS!”Venus complained again. That's her
Venus woke with surprise in the dark. She realized she was floating in a state of standing. Her body seemed to be in bottomless darkness. Venus wanted to cry again, but she thought she had to endure it. Venus is at the neck of death, she can't cry, even when there's nothing to cry about, no matter how hard she feels in her chest. Instead, Venus took a deep breath and exhaled slowly despite shaking.Then, Death embraced her.Venus's neck began to suffocate by the chain of nothingness. At first, sl
Venus woke up as her body slid out of what felt like a sliding tube. Or at least she thought so. Venus stepped on the ground unsteady, and would have fallen down if there were no hands to help her. Venus looked at the ground she was walking on with a happy face.“Wow, I'm not going to die!” said Venus happy while smiling broadly, simplifying the true feeling of her happiness.Venus looked at the white circle where she came out. The glowing circle was now gloomy. Venus looked up and found only darkness. Her eyesight turned to the two people who helped her; a man with a fierce expression and a friendly-faced woman. The woman smiled. Venus had never seen them before.“What is this?” Venus asked doubtfully. “Is this… some kind of new technology that anyone can order?”The fierce man replied rather irritably, “I don't know what you mean! Just for information, this is not your Earth! This is the world of volts, Miss, and now you stand under the Black Porch.”Venus gawk. Which area is it from
