“Perspective ” by Joshua Kim

Submitted to Contest #243

The Perspective of a Fox ‘I think, therefore I am.’‘Be wise as serpents…’‘Know yourself!’ These are some of the sayings of humans that my old pops taught me. He said he learned from his dad, my grandpa. They say that these were the sayings that had been handed down from one generation to the other, and that each generation had added their own saying that they learned from humans from the time they were created on the earth. Pretty cool, right? I mean, as a fox, as a creature that lives on this very earth, I always wondered about humans, so m...

“Running Away?” by Joshua Kim

Submitted to Contest #235

Running Away? Grace let out a sigh as she prepared. One may be tempted to ask what she was preparing for. The answer to that was a little more complicated than one could imagine. To understand what Grace was going through at the moment, you have to rewind a bit back to her childhood. She was dragged from where she could somewhat call her home to an entirely foreign land, which was strange, since she knew ...

“Daily Life” by Joshua Kim

Daily Life Paul woke up in shock when he heard the alarm go off. When he looked at his smart phone, he squinted to see what the time was. The lock screen illuminated in the pitch of darkness and read, ‘4:30 A.M.’ He sighed and let out a yawn, his eyes droopy as he tried to stay awake. He massaged his neck until he realized that, ‘I’m not going to stay awake...

“A Traveler ” by Joshua Kim

A Traveler I honestly didn’t think that I would ever do this: Inviting a stranger to my home. After all, my home wasn’t anything to brag about, nor was I gifted with the attribute of hospitality to others. In fact, that title belonged to my older brother, who was currently in Amsterdam, Netherlands, studying for his master’s degree, in a university that was, as I heard, established by a former Prime Minis...

“Where Are You?” by Joshua Kim

Submitted to Contest #189

Where Are You? It was so terribly cold. Snow was falling, and it was almost dark. Sheets of snow had already covered the garden. In springtime, the roses would bloom to perfection in this garden. This was a place where Jonathan and his father would come every year to get away for one day. For Jonathan, from school, for his father, from work. Now, some people might ask, why a rose garden? Well, the answer was simple: Jonathan and his father were two people who wanted to be around beautiful natu...

Author bio

Ever since my childhood, I loved the times where I could write. Of course, there are works which I'm proud of, but that doesn't mean I think of myself high and mighty, no. After I had to come back to Korea, I struggled a bit with the question of who I am, and how to retain my English, and then I started to write stuff. Then, in 2019, after watching the anime, 'Assassination Classroom', took up the hobby of writing fanfics, and now, I have 76 fanfics up my belt under the nickname Megumiai30 in Archive of our Own. I feel that was practice for the years to come, as I then realized that writing was my second weapon, as they say. So now, I'm here on reedsyprompts to share my short stories, and hope for the best! Thank you for reading! -Joshua Kim
