An Unforgettable Friend

Submitted to Contest #202

Well can I say? Here we are again, another strainuous school year completed, I knew that in three months time that I was headed for one more remaining year of being picked on. Next year, my plans were to graduate the twelfth grade is getting to live another year of ordeal in a confining school system and later on, hopefully going to work full-time. I really had enough of this kind of unnecessary harengment. The whole idea of the ‘ no pain, no gain ‘ issue has been highly overrated and often considered as resentful. Before his excruciating ...

Human Carelessness

Human Carelessness Well what can I say, now? Let’s quickly accelerate to the PRESENT where and when I find myself living on Earth in the year 2579 A.D.; as far as we know about all of the atrocities with the smaller landmasses than before; the world population has immensely overgrown into a grotesque number among the last 300 years of savage Human debauchery that still are unable to get along with each other. War survival tactics are daily scenes of living with the primitive laws of the jungle. It had been over two centuries since all rel...

Rediscovered Genes

Submitted to Contest #151

It’s almost like a phantasmic stance coming right out of a Lorraine Dille Williams novel; frozen in time has an individual discovering some long lost genealogical notes forgotten in the eyes of the past. This wide discovery has granted her a great find in linking her to an engaging past. Within the late 20th century, Jason Tronel, who had been an electrical engineer most of his working life; he had conducted his own genealogical search in his spare time. He lived a quiet and comfortable life in the rural region of Gloucester, Ontario. Si...

My Forgotten LIves

Submitted to Contest #134

Reincarnation still remains a wide enigma throughout the course of humankind; some have considered it as a ratings game. The interpretation that I currently understand is that of an idealist feature of changing lives with the irrelevance of its’ gender. Once the first given existence is completed; one supposedly proceeds accordingly with the successions onto the next life span. This process would depend on how did the individual’s behaviour and personality got along with humanity in the previous one. This continuous of flow of linked humanit...

Was it a lost Opportunity???

Submitted to Contest #116

Was it a lost Opportunity ??? Is there a real answer when options are presented to an individual? What is the risk that’s entailed? What could be the remaining consequences? Well, I guess everyone could be faced with rare prospects opportunities once they are randomly introduced to us. And how will we react to it? Is one foolish enough to dive in without any knowledge of what they’re getting involved with? Is it a form of despair or haste ? Or is a passed opportunity can be forever lost without any possibility of re-occurrence? The Summe...

Lost Heritage

Submitted to Contest #106

Lost Heritage Among all of my genealogical studies; I had always enjoyed learning about my past. As far as listening to all of those family yarns which I had often heard from my elders about being directly descended from the famous historical figures which are readily mentioned in the media and Historical references. These namedroppers assume that they are more important than most people. Once, their loud and arrogant behaviors are quickly justified as charlatans; they begin to reveal their own insecurities. In just such...

Our Mirrored Realities

As I get up every morning, nature always compels to lead me into the bathroom into to face the dominating mirror. I strongly believe that this is the very room where the late deacon and author Lewis Carroll had privately received his inspiration for his memorable novel entitled: ” ALICE IN WONDERLAND ”. Upon his daily awakening, he had to do the very same morning ritual where it had undoubtedly revealed to him his every cagey secret, disgusting fault, inner demon, questionable action, defined quality and clandestine fantasy which he h...

Knowing Never Being Alone

Submitted to Contest #92

It always seems that some anecdotes are constant and purposely left behind in the dark for the most common reason of the fear of shame, the invasion of privacy, yet sometimes there are shadowy rationalities of hidden modesty and sentimental mystery. Well, this is one that pertains to the matter that being following by an awakening surprise. Burning Black Cherry incense had been Joshua Marvelin’s late wife Eleanor’s favourite scent as well as Black Forest cake; anything that made her feel romantically sultry had kept her attrac...

A Date With History

Submitted to Contest #61

While reading the morning paper, I was quickly reminded of two specific tasks which I had always wanted to execute. Well, for this upcoming Saturday; it’s my parents’ pearl wedding anniversary where most relatives would not only be celebrating, yet also reminiscing their past between the old, the new and the young. This had also been was my week off work and I had time to participate for this gathering.
