Haha, sorry it's been a busy summer, this story is supposed to be of Myeong and Nirupama before the main story event which takes place in my "Fate" Series, it's been a long time and when diving back in, I thought it'd be fun to explore some characters backgrounds that have been left mostly blank. Enjoy! “Hey, how are you doing?” Nirupama asked Myeong. “I don’t know..” she responded. “I’m only on the most wanted watch list of North Korea.” Nirupama chuckled, “How did we meet again?” He asked skeptically. “I saved your butt. That’s...
“OOooo! That one looks like a train! Do you see it?” Grandma said pointing at the sky. “Yea, and grandma, look! That one looks like a cat!” I said joining in to grandmother’s excitement. We were in the car, on our way to grandma’s house, after a long day at home I was happy to be going somewhere else. The car was very familiar to behold, the same scents hanging on the mirror that she changed each month, the same white sun visor which sat in the middle console. The way grandma wore her sunglasses while driving. The need for safety, but...
~~ We continue ~~ The next morning when everyone woke up neither Massimo nor Lupe mentioned anything to do with the night before. The morning started with Kinoshita grabbing the previously bought bread and handing it out. “Did everyone sleep well?” She asked, walking around. She got a response with a mixture of groans of no and shrugs of sure. Everyone was looking at one another as they ate, for someone to say what to do. Sitting in an oval with Massimo and Kinoshita at the heads like back at home. Massimo couldn’t help but ...

You lost what?” Asked Tumura. “It’s nothing. you wouldn’t get it anyway!” Lupe shot back. “But, we might, please just tell us, so we can help you find it.” Sana said softly, looking down at Lupe defeated, they wanted to help them so badly. “You know what ...
TW: Contains attempted Suicide Note for 'Fate' series, I will continue working on it, I just needed a break from that story for a little while. ... “No! PLEASE! Don’t do this!” Adrian shrieked through tears, “You’re young- you have so much still to do! I NEED you, I don’t know what I’d ever do without you!” My voice had given out in shame, as I looked at what I was doing, outside my house, ready to be done, I was done, I’d given up on everything, but hadn’t expected to be found, especially by Adrian, somebody who lived altheway a...
TW: Includes mentions of War in Ukraine/old conflict in Georgia and the middle east~~ We continue ~~ “Oh Grow up!” Nirupama yelled at Myeong, “There’s no way they’ll find you here! So don’t worry, okay?” “But what about my family? They’re not going to make it out, they’re not with me, what if something happens to them?” Myeong started rambling, “In North Korea, there is no leaving, not without consequences, they’ll kill my mom!” “Myeong, calm down, I’m sure they’ll be just fine.” Nirupama reassured Myeong, giving her a hug, “we'l...
~~ We continue ~~ “Niru, don’t do this..” Myeong was worried, but it was too late. “I’ll be right back.” Before he left. Kinoshita looked around, “Everyone use the buddy system, Massimo with Tocito, Sana and Toinette, Lupe and Myeoung, and Tumura, you come with me. We’ll follow behind.” Myeong and Lupe started silently gathering things they would need for their journey. It was starting an hour earlier than they’d liked, but it was now or never. Soon Nirupama was back, “Come, we have to be quick.” Before he star...
Trigger warning- Includes war in Ukraine Story of people fleeing a country “Tonight marks the night when we are finally free.” Sana raised their glass looking at the few who had stuck with them. “May we be safe here, in this new home.” … “Why do you let them say that to you?” Toinette asked Sana, “You deserve so much better than what this little town offers you.” Toinette was unsure what to tell Sana, she wanted them to leave with her, since it wasn’t safe where they lived, in Romania anymore. Sana tapped th...
~Based on a nightmare~“This place.., gives me so many memories..” I say to myself, as I walk around the practice field. I go to the old tire, a sad smile found it's place on my face, “What happened to us.?” I ask, sitting down on the grass, it was cold, just like that night, trees and grass swaying in the breeze, the ground soft beneath me, I laid down. Starting to hum, looking at the skies for a moment before closing my eyes, trying to remember as much as I could from that night.    …“Come on, let’s take a walk.” He said...
“Should I do this?” I asked myself before entering the school on January 3rd, the first day after winter break. I looked at the people around me, all heading in like it was the worst place to be, for me it was quite the opposite, and I was either about to ruin it or make it so much better. I saw my friend as soon as I entered the building and forgot my hesitation immediately, “Yes.” I confirmed to myself. “Hey Addi!” They yelled at me. I smiled, it’s time. I thought to myself. “Hi.. There’s something I need to tell you.” Time to be brave, b...
“Yea, I think being in a time like that, enjoying the whole moment, it would be perfect, as long as you were there. It would be the best moment of my life to experience that with you.” I sighed over the phone, to a love so far away it seemed impossible that we’d ever see each other. “Yea, ditto.” Modues responded. “Maybe it doesn’t have to be too far away, It could happen any time you know. Not just when we’re older.” His voice noticeably quieted by my sigh. “Yea, maybe…” I whispered, my mind wandering, to a fantasy of my true love...
Based on a true story. "What's this grandma?" I asked, holding up a large heart-shaped box that looked like it was for chocolates, upon opening it I realized it was empty, we were in the attic though, so I guess it's good that it was.She looked up, "Oh that's nice. I think grandpa got it for me a while ago, and I kept the box because it was cute."Being a curious child, I asked, "Why did he get it for you?"She replied, "I don't remember, probably because he did something and got me chocolates to try and hide it. He hoped I wouldn't figur...
"You're so pretty! Oh my, what's your name!?" Alan was overjoyed looking at this new person. His eyes sparkling at the idea of meeting someone new, and as gorgeous as she. “Hi..” she smiled weakly, “I’m Unity.” Unity looked at the strange boy which had randomly come up to her. Looking him up and down, “Do you need something sir.?” she asked eyes still moving. “No ma’am, I just thought you were very cute today and I wanted to say Hi. You look like somebody who would be good at a lot of things, you’re so perfect, your name even means i...
“Are you there, God? It’s me., one of your children. Lunar.” They listened for an answer, in the dark cold of their room, looking at the stars and moon in the sky outside. “I know I’m not perfect, but I try..” The child continued on. “I ask, why don’t you seem to be here when I need you? Are you even there now.?” The child clenched their folded hands, looking down with a sigh of defeat, “Why can’t I just be normal?” Looking around skittishly, they rose to their feet and unbowed their head, went and sat on their bed, befo...
