La Nouche's Dream Journal-Chp 31


• I remember being in a hall of a college, like some sort of graduation ceremony going on and I'm part of it

• I then remember being in my old primary school, not sure what I'm doing there

• Then my mom came to fetch me, saying that there is something important she needed to tell me

• A man was with her, looks like someone familiar from my dad side of the family

• She had brought along my suitcase and everything and told me that I was promised to his son as his wife or something, although in the legal papers I am to be "adopted" by him

• Joe was there in the car along with me but he didn't seem to be objecting against this

• We went to the coffee shop where my dad usually hang out to have drinks

• Met my dad and we talked, telling about the graduation and me getting the certificate

• My mom pinched me and pulled me away, giving me the jealous warning look not to be so hunky-dory fine with my dad

• Then my mom told my dad her plans

• Instead of being angry or upset about it, he actually agreed, saying that I need a more stable man

• I even get to meet the guy, who looked like a five-by-five man fresh out of prep school with glasses and very well-combed

• I tried to give Joe a persuading look, begging him to say something about this but he looked at me tearfully before disappearing

• Then my mom smugly gave me a piece of note that Joe wrote saying that he was sorry and wished I have a good life

• I was so upset that when my mom touched me, I lashed out at her, telling her to never ever touch me again and that I was going off for a walk and if she wanted to find me I'll be nearby

• She let me because she knew I have nowhere else to go

• I ran and ran, wondering if I could catch up with Joe but he was long gone

• I fell to the floor on my knees and cried, while people were coming out of their houses at night

• A Pakistani lady saw me crying and asked if I was OK and offered me chewing gum

• I took the chewing gum and saw an already chewed up gum wrapped in paper inside, and when I peeled it out to throw it away, it was actually a note from Joe making plans to elope when the chance came

• I was so happy and quickly dried my tears and hung out with the people in some sort of tent

• Then someone approached the tent saying that a guy was looking for me

• I assumed it was my husband-to-be and came outside, and we talked along the way back to the coffee shop

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out,

I Was A Lab Assistant of Sorts (Part 3)

Hey everyone. I know it's been a minute, but I figured I would bring you up to speed on everything that happened. So, needless to say, I got out, but the story of how it happened was wild. So there we were, me and the little potato dude, just waiting for the security dude to call us back when the little guy got chatty again. “Do you think he can get us out?” he asked, not seeming sure. “I mean, if anyone can get us out it would be him, right?” “What do you base this on?” I had to think about that for a minute before answering, “Well, he's security. It's their job to protect people, right? If anyone should be able to get us out, it should be them.” It was the little dude's turn to think, something he did by slowly breathing in and out as his body puffed up and then shrank again. “I will have to trust in your experience on this matter. The only thing I know about security is that they give people tickets
