Sex, Guns and Words: Three

THREE
He exited his apartment with his confidence of the day which in layman’s language means, a smile on his face. Generally, he would take the bus to the main campus but today, it is a bit different, he walks.
Strangely, his surroundings seem to give off positive vibes. It was as if God had bestowed the young man good fortune or maybe it was just his lucky day. Who knows what might have caused this but Sam is - happy.
Far from where Sam currently is, was Susan packing her stuff - her books, her pencil case and her lady needs. Now, the people around her which includes her neighbors, the neighbor’s cats, the neighbor’s dogs, her closest friend, and her family find her to be in the gloomy side most or if not all the time but today, she seems different.
Susan’s mother thought of it as ‘Odd’ but nonetheless the mother was happy to see her daughter being happy. Her father however, was pretty much as dense as Sam, an ‘Oblivious Lana Lang’.
She studies diligently in class, focus and tries her best not to doze off while the lecturer was lecturing. Occasionally, her mind would drift away somewhere to a place only she could possibly go, her head. She thinks of the young man she had only just met, Sam who she find to be an interesting character.
It was probably his good looks or his charming attitude that got her attention but as she tries to find the answer for such a problematic question, it always seem fade away from her grip.
Sam takes out his notebook but without fail, he leaves it empty while the lecture was going on. It is a ritual he partakes each time he attends class. Fortunately, his grades do not fail him. Like Susan, he enters a state of calmness and the flow of time slows down.
He thinks of her as she has thought of him. He searches for the answer of why but what he got was the when.
“When can I see her? Hmmmm….”
There was no bell to signify the end of class but his phone possessed the capabilities of telling time, and so he waits - patiently.
“God damn when is this class going to end?” he thought to himself.
“It’s almost time.” she thought to herself.
As the clock ticks to 11.45AM, they quickly left their desk and exited the classroom.
Why? They were obviously impatient.
Susan covered her impatience by walking a little faster while Sam, he too walked a little faster but it was apparent that he was hasty in his pacing.
They both reached at the promised spot in the same, exactly at 11.48AM.
“I thought you’d be late.” said Sam.
“I didn’t want to keep you waiting.” she answered.
“Shall we?” as he takes a seat not before offering Susan to sit down.
She looks into his eyes and passionately answers, “I think we shall.”
Today, Sam did not write anything as Susan came by to his apartment.

Dagger: Chapter Three

Chapter 3 Ariam was convinced the trances of various locations and visions of large creatures in colossal size tearing up the heavens, opening a vast portal to enter this realm to wreck destruction and death meant something significant with Sajib’s plan. The dream felt vivid and real, it felt like a looming definite future that was for sure abound to happen if she did not do anything to stop it.             Obadiah was glad when she woke up, and now without further due, he stood in front of Ariam who sat up on the captain’s bed, rubbing her eyes, and then he started shouting, “What the hell were you thinking? You could have died! And what then?! You risked your life just to save this idiot.” Obadiah went on for quite a bit tearing Ariam’s ears off in the process, while Bernard in the other hand thanked and apologized to her.             The captain’s cabin, where the four of them were in was considerably more impressive and cleaner than any part of the ship. You can learn a lot

Gratitude and Appreciation

The months of getting paycheck to paycheck has kept me busy but most importantly has helped built my character in the real world. It's not all shine and glory but it has its moments where I'm proud of. In the year 2018, I decided that I had to leave something behind and till this day (or any other day before this post is published), I thought to myself, 'Was that the right thing to do?'. I got a lot of support from my partner and I know that it will take some time for me to adjust back into society. I wasted no time in looking for jobs and felt that I might not be good enough when it comes to working but everyone has to start from somewhere. I told myself that working in the sales line would be the fastest way to learn something and I set my sights on jobs that had sales in the job scope. I got a job but that was short lived as there were internal factors that hinders my progression or not being able see myself in that company that would help in my growth. As a res

Wish, I

Wish, I By Christian (a short and rushed story)   PART ONE A distant place, I rather not call home - I chose to be back here even after all is said and done. I could still hear the calls and whispers, are they a distant memory buried deep inside? ‘No, it’s not dear.’ a feminine voice echoes. I look at how solemn it gets wishing it could have been more - more than it is now. The embrace of your touch on my hair. Each morning greeted with a smile from the side of the bed.  ‘Dear, are you done? We’re about to be late.’ ‘Hold on honey, just grabbing something from the wardrobe.’ Shayne scurries. The wife starts the car while waiting for her loving partner to exit the house, she shuffles the radio to settle the mood. As soon as he gets out, he cannot wonder what else he forgot but the thought was brushed as soon as he opened the car door.  ‘What were you even looking for?’ ‘It’s a surprise honey.’ While driving to their destination, Shayne is talking vica
