last update Last Updated: 2021-11-05 11:15:07

Today has never been warmer for Jaiden, as this day is particularly special.  They had been planning to go to this riverside resort since last week, and everything seems to be special since Melissa is coming with them. 

Her eyes shone like a glossy pearl just washing on a shore of black pebbles with the warm rays of the sun shining down on it. She had currant red tinted lips that went well with the midnight black swimsuit she was wearing under her pink jacket. 

As she walked in the riverside, the sunlight hit her fair skin which emphasizes the curves of her body. 

To be honest, Jaiden finds her attractive despite everyone saying she is too plain and boring. In fact he finds himself always laughing when he is with her, something most g

    Thadeus starts driving suspiciously to work after a warm dinner on a foggy but oddly cold sky. He stopped on a sidewalk and cautiously looked to his right, as he tried to discern any hostile eyes watching him. He decides to start his engine after ensuring that there is no presence lurking nearby. The nightly breeze was silent and still as he parked his car near an abandoned power plant building, the surrounding area was zombified as the rotting trees were still teeming with strange flowers, as trace amounts of radon gas still polluting the air around the building. The radiation makes the water glow but it’s not neon green but a rusty brown gloop. Just as he exited his car, Martha also went out of the car with him, holding a very suspicious briefcase. Thadeus assisted his wife with an umbrella as the rai

    "Irene!" Athena jumped screaming at the busy Irene, "Athena…. You're heavy," Irene bleated while trying to remain standing from all the weight Athena's body was imposing at her. "What do you think, I did great right!" Athena asked as she let go of Irene. Irene, on the other hand, despite being annoyed, answered her, "Yeah… you did great…" "Right? Right!" Athena said enthusiastically. "Anyway, why are you so excited, did something happen?" Irene asked since normally Athena was quite composed and sophisticated. Then her face brightened, implying that something good did happen. "Well, you see… Joseph and I are already

    "Be careful of that! Wait, put it on the left… there, eh, it's kinda slanted, Let's see, I think it should be…. Uhm, here!" Athena instructed. The group of guys was kind of frustrated as Athena seems to not make up her mind, "Tina, why don't you first make up your mind then, they could just put it in place at the moment?" I said as I'm also kinda tired looking at those guys carrying the medical equipment for quite a while now. "Ah, you're right… I do not know but I cannot focus these days, ah I wish Irene was here and the situation must have been a lot smoother. By the way, Melissa… Do you want to take a rest first? I'll wrap this up and I'll follow you ahead," Athena replied. "That's fine.. I'm not yet tired anyway," I said, "But with

In the past whenever someone asked her which place she considered very important she could not think of anything, perhaps because everything had a bad memory associated with it.

    If you ask me to think of Capital City what comes to mind will likely be, a diverse location with both ocean and forest and easily identifiable skyscrapers and industrial buildings, that is filled with people with different statuses in life. I do believe that this peculiar trait resonates with a city’s identity, since the city's framework is developed around these structures which can certainly create their own impression on those who see it. Ordinarily, many people can easily name Capital City as one of the most likely places to live the rest of your life in, since it has both necessary components of nature and infrastructure that will fit any lifestyle, however what truly makes this city a great choice is those who inhabit it. Instead

As they focused on their search Melissa received a text that they were safe and they were indeed swept away by the marching band.That put out a considerable amount of burden from her chest as she understood where they were, "Is everything fine?" Jaiden asked as he saw her almost to the verge of crying.He tried to console her, aiming for a hug, and just as he was about to grab her by the waist… he cannot believe who just passed by them.Her hair flowed like a river, and that youthful glow was like a flash of perfection.

    THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER, A well thought of disaster in that matter. To be honest, the journey of writing this narrative had put me in a constant strain of what if scenarios. It is like exploring a new entire world without a single idea about the consequences the realm exhibits. And, as much as I hate to admit it, romance is a weakness I would rather omit. It is a reality that my virgin mind failed to navigate freely. To simply say, this story is a fraud— a slice of life drama advertising itself as a young-adult romance. I also do have some reservations in calling it an oversimplified chick-lit story. In the end, I decided to go the most logical route and face my unyielding fear to reconsider my abstinent views towards intimate correspondence.I knew that I needed to rekindle the lost flare of my hopeless romantic heart, and so I did. I made a brave decision a

    "To what floor?" I asked, as my index finger hovered over the panel.Just to be clear, a new guy went into the lift a few seconds ago. To be honest, I kinda wished that he didn't make it to the barely closing elevator doors. More importantly, I hope he didn't see me mashing the buttons to make the doors close a little more faster.Anyway, today is the day of the interview. And I believe I've accomplished pretty much everything I needed. I finished saying farewell to my hometown, moving to a new place, and now I'm finally heading for a new job. However, that will all boil down to whether I will get hired or not.The single other occupant in the elevator pushed his glasses up his nose and gave this stern look, "Hi," he said flatly.

"To you as well, Grace," he said as he beamed a smile."You're all smiles today, did something good happen?" she asked, trying not to appear desperate for gossip."No, as a matter of fact, I am just as happy as I'm yesterday," he said in the most sincere voice he could manage for the moment. "I see," the lady nodded as to not impede his private life.As Jaiden walks up to the church he can see a line forming to get in. For a moment he thought that this service would be for a full house.Jaiden lets out a deep breath and prepares himself for the 10:00 am sermon. Meanwhile, Pastor Ha

    "Uhm, your portfolio is kinda..." he slurred, placing his open palm just millimeters away from my face, "How should I put this…""Eccentric?" I asked. He gave me a dead look and answered, "Not quite….."From there, he started snapping his finger continuously, and with a sharp pause, he pointed at me then let out a word, "Aggressive! right… that's it. Especially this promotional poster…."I moved back involuntarily, and nearly fell backward over my seat, "Aggressive? But it is for an action-fantasy movie!"He reached out to steady me, and I knew he was reaching for my hand, "Darling, we are a production company that produces movies like "Cat In The Box

    The solemn ground whispered a comforting tone as the gentle winds passed by dragging the autumn leaves slowly descending on the grassy floor.It was the height of noon and the sun was shining brightly at the blue skies, staring down the tombstone erected below. For a single point, a fair maid stood in silence as she looked down the grave, etched with memories of the deceased."Mom and Dad, have you been well? Sorry I wasn't able to visit for quite a while now," The girl in a daunting uniform said as she stood up on a well-furnished grave.The wind blew gently once more, swaying the wisps of her hair. She placed a bouquet of Hydrangea flowers on the grave and gazed at the distance zooming towards a dignified man approaching her.

    As I was thinking of my miserable situation, a knock resounded on my door, "It is me, may I come in?" a gentle voice called me.That time I knew right away that it was Jaiden who was on the other side of the door. I quickly opened it and saw a decently dressed man on my doorstep."What made you visit, aren't you busy with your duties in the ministry, you even had additional counseling sessions on the weekends," I asked, since I'm worried for him."Why does it seem like you don't want to see me?" Jaiden asked. "Besides, I was just ordained recently, so I don't have much work load for now. You can say that I'm still in the process of being a full-pledge Pastor.""Fine, whatever. So why

Manong Kokoy asked me.I gave him a silent nod and flatly answered him with a question, "Should I be alright?"I never gave it a second thought and went upstairs to see Natalie and Tatay at the doorstep. I fixed my shriveled hair and smiled with my busted lips.Seeing their expectant faces made me crestfallen. "What happened to you, did you get into a fight," Tatay asked, seeing my slightly beaten up face."It's nothing, Tatay," I said to make him less worried. "Anyway, Ate! What happened

    The siren of the police moving away from the palace created a Doppler effect, as the sound slowly dissipated along the distance.I stared back at the ambulance bed, and Jaiden looked at me with a gentle smile. For some reason I can sense an uneasy expression in his face, "What's the matter with you two?" I asked Jaiden and Joseph who were suddenly avoiding my gaze."Oh, is it about the spy thing? I already knew… heard everything from Athena," I said casually."Wait… then you must've heard about Athena's father," Jaiden said leaning forward towards me.I smiled at him and nodded, "I also heard about it…"
