“The tree that became my life” by Naduni De Silva

If i have to point to a day that i was the happiest girl in the entire world, i thought it would be the day James proposed to me. But I was wrong, it’s today and today isn’t even our first wedding anniversary. Our journey wasn’t filled with happy memories, and if I have to be honest, our path so far has been one hell of a challenge and I must have fallen down and given up so many times that I lost count. But, James was always there to pick me up. Before, I was this woman who was afraid to fall. The current me is someone who’s still scared bu...

“Can't you work hard, Catherine!” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #136

Lying on the bed looking at the night sky I wondered where it all went wrong. ………… “Catherine, where’s my coffee?” “Catherine, why haven’t you still printed copies of this section?” “Catherine, walk faster would you?” “Catherine, why did you swap the pieces from the winter collection with the spring collection?” “Don’t you have eyes, Catherine?” “Why do you keep messing things up, Catherine?” "Can't you work hard, Catherine?" Hiding my tears, I ran around the office all day acting like what they were telling wasn’t getting into my head. It w...

“Did I find my Forever? ” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #133

“Will you be my Valentine?!” I placed the banner with much difficulty in front of the sop. But honestly I kept telling my dad we don’t need a banner because if it’s the Valentines week, we would get customers. Some turn up around 11pm asking for treats. As a person who has been single for her entire 22 years of life and as a person who’s obsessed with confectionary more than love or dating, I sometimes wonder what it would feel like to fall in love and find that person who’s your forever. Thoughts aside, I’m unfortunately too busy to even th...

“The Script” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #104

Amongst everything in my life, you were my favorite. When my whole life was in chaos and in war with itself, you were there to hold me tightly. You made me believe in things that I didn’t believe in before. You made me do things that I was scared of. I was afraid to go against my parents but you thought me to live the life for myself and to think only about myself. You thought me being selfish is sometimes a blessing in disguise. I didn’t believe you at first. But when life gave me lemons that I didn’t ask for, I understood what it means to ...

“Meeting You Was A Coincidence, Falling For You Was My Choice! ” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” I looked at Kara and gave her a death glare for asking such a dumb question when she already knew the answer. She just shrugged and kept nudging me. Sighing I said, “since when did I ever go out on a Friday night?” Kara rolled her eyes and gave her attention to her ‘buddies’. Well buddies as in have y’all ever seen the movie mean girls? That’s exactly who they are. Kara, Briteny and Kenzie belongs to the ‘mean girls’ group in our high school. I mean doesn’t every school have the typical share of mean girls, hot dude...

“Graveyard ” by Naduni De Silva

That's the thing about this city. No matter where we are or what we are doing at the end of the day we always come back here. To this place we call home though it has taken many things away from us. Lanarkshire is not your typical city. This city gave birth to many famous people all around the world but it also took their lives. When you visit the city you wouldn't notice anything unusual. Just a city buzzing with people trying to get to work on time and families struggling to make the ends meet. Well i thought so too at first when my family...

“My illusion” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #84

I could hear someone trying to break the wall from outside. Some idiot must’ve thought that they can possible break this damn building. I have tried it myself for countless times and every try becomes more and more tiring. Cursing out loud I got up from my bed. I opened my eyes to complete darkness and staggering along the way with all the garbage I found the light and switched it on. Scratching my head, I looked around trying to figure out what’s the day today and if I’m lucky, the time. All my life I have been inside these four walls looki...

“My Manuscripts” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #83

Being an author is no easy task as much as I love writing and going through different plots in my head to find the best one to include in my story. People think that being an author is the easiest job in the world but in reality it is hard. No matter how much one like writing, if there is not a single person to read and comment on new chapters, it feels like failure. It feels like your writing is bad and that’s why no one wants to check it out. A book can either be a success or a failure. If one finds the right audience it can be a huge succ...

“someone i can't be with” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #83

When I was small my parents always read me the story of a little mermaid who fell in love with a human and lived on land and not on Deep Waters. I thought it was something magical. Something that I cannot comprehend something dangerous. I didn’t know a human world on land exists. For me, the Deep Water is my home and every sea creature is my friend. I have never seen a land in my entire 20 years of my life nor have I heard of someone who walked on land. Though stories like little mermaid exists in my world, such stories are outshined by crue...

“Meghan and Noah II” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #81

Noah’s POVToday’s 14th of September and it has been exactly eight years since Meghan and I started dating. We didn’t have a perfect relationship for all those six years and there were countless times we both wanted to call quits. But somehow, one way or another we always found the way back to each other. If Meghan didn’t become someone so important to me, with my personality back then I might have actually killed someone. That’s why I wanted to do something special for her tonight. Dating me wouldn’t have been an easy task at all. When we fi...

“Meghan and Noah” by Naduni De Silva

‘Rise and shine babe!’ Turning around I covered my head with the pillow not being able to tolerate my best friend’s screaming on a Monday morning. I mean any sane person wouldn’t feel so alive on a frigging Monday morning. But, Kat short for Katlyn is insane. Even if she parties all Sunday night (which she does almost every week), she would still wake up Monday morning in high spirits. Me, on the other hand is the complete opposite of her. I can’t barely keep my eyes open on Mondays at all. Oh! Waitttt!!!!! I forgot to introduce my stupid a...

“My Nightmare” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #80

First of all, I just need to say that this is a work of fiction and I’m just referring to the holocaust in general and everything situation is just my imagination and not what really took place.My mother used to say that I was born with the sounds of gun shots drumming through my ears that she named me Hope in order to make my life better. I didn’t get what she meant until I started going to school. I loved history. It was quite uncommon for children at that time to love history moreover to be obsessed with the subject. Ever since I was lit...

“Our Escape” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #79

The escape was harder than I ever though it would be. the slightest noise around me made me stop on my tracks and reach out for the dagger that was hidden in my coat. I was never a fighter. I just accepted whatever the life gave me and thought this is the way things should be. I could see the reflection of the river and to my disappointment it was totally melted. The only way for me is to go around the river to the other side but it is riskier than getting across the river. There are guards everywhere around the river waiting to catch those ...

“Thank You!” by Naduni De Silva

I'm Amanda FYI, well who cares you didn't even ask for my name and here i am babbling either way because i'm bored. let me tell you my story right here right now. i'm saying it here maybe because i don't have any other place to bleed myself. i ran away from home when i was sixteen. not because i caused any trouble but because i couldn't tolerate my parents. i never had a good relationship with my parents like my brother did. they found a fault in everything i did and said. they would criticise me in front of my relatives and strangers. and m...
