“Biking” by Thabo Diutliuleng

Walking out of the cinema having just checked all the movies in advance for tonight, I head home. On the way home, I give Sam a call “Hey Sam”, I speak as he picks up the phone. “Hey Tristan”, Sam replies. “Where are you now?”, I ask. “I just got to the parking lot of the mall, I was on my way to check out the cinema for any movies”, Sam replies. “Oh, don’t worry about that, I just finished doing that, I am on my way to the parking lot right now”, I interjected. “Cool, cool…you excited for the movie tonight?”, Sam asked. “Yes, dude, these pa...

"Sorry, it's noisy here, the party is peaking dude, you've missed enough, it's now or never. You only ever get to have a senior graduation party at Drake's house once you know", Ethan replied after having gone somewhere quieter. "Is she there?", I asked nervously.

“Café Reunion ” by Thabo Diutliuleng

Submitted to Contest #100

As I step through the door and enter the café, I can’t help but get nostalgic, it’s been 10 years after all since I’ve been in this place.

Submitted to Contest #99

It’s well into the morning now, I don’t know what time it is exactly, I don’t really care, summer vacation just started yesterday after all, so it feels like I have forever to do what I want.

My mom’s a doctor and Dad’s an architect, the guy loves Floyd Wright so much he designed our house to fit a contemporary household theme which “Channels his creativity”. I like our house though; the color schemes and palettes go well with my go...
