An unexpected love, for you and me

The December cold set in place, the first snow of the new winter came and so with it the holiday spirit of the residents of the small town of Luwle. It was a medium-small town, not exactly the kind where everyone knows everyone, but still a closely-knit community. Two prominent bakeries lie in this place, Bakery Ambrosial which belongs to Oliver, and Lenoir belonging to Christophe. Oliver was a natal resident of the town and has never left it. He started working at his parents’ bakery as soon as he could, three years ago his parents let hi...

It was a quiet morning as Edwin and Alisha were enjoying their coffee, it was their normal ritual, they were usually accompanied by Ellie but she was nowhere to be found and she wouldn’t return and text messages. “So how was your weekend,” asked Alisha purely out of politeness, while also staring at her phone, she was like that before she got coffee. “It was pretty good, I had to-” Out of nowhere, the door burst open and Ellie came running towards the group. “Hey sorry I’m late, but we have to go, We’ve only got a month left to do this...

Half a year has passed since I died. I don’t like remembering it, it’s not something I want to be a part of, since I died so young I feel incredibly depressed thinking about it. While I was crossing the street I was hit by an incoming cat. It all happened too fast. At first I thought I had somehow avoided it, I didn’t know how but I was still standing, the passing car felt like wind, not so gentle that I wouldn't notice it but also not so forceful that id would push me. My eyes were closed tight during the whole time, squeezing them shut, wi...

"This is not a test!" the robotic voice said through the TV. "The United States is under nuclear attack. You have exactly 15 minutes to find shelter. Fallout shelters will be open and you will be evacuated by local authorities. Every state is at risk" While almost all news channels were broadcasting the same thing, some of the privately-owned channels were having discussions between the hosts. A particular group of hosts was sitting on the couch. "Its fake news don't believe it." said one of the men "Even if it was, I still have my rights, I...
