“Man would I kill for some steak right now.” Brutus said as he stretched his arms while exiting his tent. “Would human steak be satisfactory for you?” Canelly shot while cleaning her knife. “If it’s yours then that would be very… very… satisfactory.” Brutus answered pervertedly. “I’m sorry but the only one that’s readily available right now is the Brutus Special.” She said as she threateningly stood up walking towards Brutus. “Alright that’s enough from the two of you!” Margaret shouted as she got between the two. “W...
“Think we’re gonna last another year?”My partner Arisa asked me with tired, almost soulless eyes.We’d just gone through the last of our food and water supply and finally had no choice but to go out again after nearly three months of staying hidden inside an underground bunker in an abandoned military outpost.“We’ll manage… somehow.” I answered, not knowing what else to say.If we didn’t make any moves to stock up for the coming days, it wasn’t hypothermia but starvation and thirst that was going to kill us. None of those were appealing option...

Our family would always go on Christmas vacation at our house by the countryside. It was a rather spacey, two-storey house beside a large lake. We would usually stay there for about two weeks' time. The place was just near the outskirts of a rather small town called Moresville. The first time we visited, there were already few people living there to begin with, but in recent years, the number of people there dropped even more.Of course, having said that, we went there again this Christmas. But little did we know that this year, our Christmas...

A part of me will always remember that day. The day I met a true friend. -----------------------------------------------"Oh man I think my time's up." The man a seat away from me suddenly sighed while stretching his hands into the air. "Uhh, are you here to get yourself checked too sir?" I said to him, watching him as he continued his long stretch. We were the only two people in a long corridor of the hospital. I was there for my regularly scheduled check-up and was waiting for my turn to be called. It was odd that no one...

“Can you keep a secret?”I never really gave much thought to the weight of that question. At least not until the moment it was thrown directly at me.It was my childhood friend of twelve years, Trisha, who suddenly sprung those words at me during the day of our grade school graduation.I remember it as clearly as the sky was that day.She looked at me with honest eyes that seemed to scream out, “Please say yes!”.So naturally, I said yes.It almost felt like it was more of a reflex than a genuine response on my part. Because honestly, I don’t thin...

“It’s been a while!”“Yeah… it has hasn’t it?”I guess that’s how it usually goes when you happen to bump into someone you haven’t seen in a while. In a futile attempt to not appear arrogant, we are compelled by some unknown will to extend our acknowledgement to someone who is, likewise, expected to return the gesture. Compelled to recite those overused lines--mere pleasantries before the inevitable divergence of your paths once again.Sometimes, when I catch the sight of someone I am acquainted with, well or otherwise, the thought of not utter...
