In Between

I’m in between. One of them bit me. The bastard took a chunk out of my upper arm. The fool probably didn’t even know it was an arm. He probably saw me as a walking turkey leg or something. Oh, but he got his dues. I whacked his useless head off with a crowbar I stole when shit got serious. It got serious about a month ago, and let me tell you, it happened just the way everyone thought it would happen. Some “contained” little outbreak, then BOOM, everyone I know is staggering around like kangaroos tripping on dextro. Not me, though. I knew I was going to fight it. I did well until about a week ago when Mr. Slobbermouth munched on my bicep. It amazes even me that I’m so coherent. God, I wish I wasn’t. I’m not like them, but I’m just like them. I have the hunger they have, but I have all the guilt and love of humanity that is going to keep me from surviving. I’m not even sure that I want to survive anymore. I see them do horrible things, things that are starting to drive me ma

Never Wrong

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes! One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty losing a finger. Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman said "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger." The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and He knows "why" of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!" Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices. In the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages found that the victim had not one of his fingers, so he was released. A

Chicken Dinner

A first hand report of the story originally reported in The Montréal Mirror in 1964: A mother and father decided they needed a break, not having much alone time in the almost a year since their young son, Toby, was born. They wanted to have a night out, dinner, maybe a movie, and the honeymoon suite at a local hotel to possibly give Toby a little brother or sister. They called their most trusted babysitter, who unfortunately was already engaged for the evening. But she did refer a good friend of hers, Opal, who she swore could be trusted. They spoke with the new babysitter and agreed to have her arrive no later than 6:30 so the parents could get an early start. As the parents got ready to paint the town red, Toby lay on the floor, gnawing on his teething ring in the den off to the back of the house. At shortly after 6:20 the father walked past the open doorway and saw an elderly woman sitting in the rocking chair facing the child, her back to the doorway. The father was sl

The Ringing

You know that ringing sound that you will perceive when you are in a very quiet area? Some people say this is an auditory-illusion brought about the ear’s inability to detect frequencies below the threshold of the human senses. This is completely wrong. That ringing covers up something else altogether. If you are quick, patient, and maybe a little lucky, you will be able to hear past the ringing. What you will hear are voices whispering to each other. They will silence themselves quickly but with practice, you will become more adept at catching and interpreting what they are saying. You will hear things of the past, the present, and the future. However, you must be careful. Because there is no such thing as a voice without a body. And when you start noticing them, they will start noticing you.

The Code of Mirrors

The images we see in the mirror are the pure incarnates of evil. They are only allowed to exist in the area reflected in the glass. To them, life is like a never-ending hell, rotting away in the same room day after day. The only refuse from this purgatory is death, and the only way for them to die, sad to say, is if YOU die. Fortunately, they are bound by a code. You are their master, and they must mirror your every movement and expression. To do otherwise would break an unbreakable law, unraveling the space-time continuum. However, there is a loophole, and it can only be triggered by you, the master. To force them into error is to free them from their contract; after you let them out of your view, you’re on your own. Know this: when you watch them, they’re watching you back. They’re watching. And they’re thinking.

Family

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, 'Oh excuse me please' was my reply. He said, 'Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you.' We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye. But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. 'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken... While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, 'While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door... Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw t

Please Don't Go

I saw you running off with his friends You were going to some sort of big event I suddenly worry for you I told whoever I was with to stay behind As I chased after you I suddenly found myself Holding a torchlight like Alan Wake And I had to shine it everywhere The light guided me to where I have to go I shouted your name "BUN! BUN!" Like my life depends on it. But you did not respond As I ran, I ended up Running into some sort of Asian funeral procession I couldn't tell what sort of Asian was this And I couldn't care less I just weave around them and continued my way They all look so realistic, not dream-like I knew somehow that this is a dream But everything looked so real I continued to run about shouting your name Trying to look for you I finally ended up at a procession that looked like it came from your culture Then I could feel myself waking up I could feel my surroundings And the feel of the bed and the pillow below my head And the blanket around my body But I

Inside the Pocket

I am in here, inside your pocket Just to travel the world with you I am waiting till you realize What really is your dream? Starting now, as we move forward together Towards a world so far yet seem so near Inside the pocket the sky spreads far Light fluffy cloud floating past the pocket How beautiful this world truly is! We shall travel this world together I am right here, in front of your eyes Until you grow mature Come with me! Let's play together! Isn't that your wildest dreams? Starting now, I will search for you Try and open up to me Inside the pocket there is a raging sea Inside the pocket the birds fly free

Ease the Pain

In the end I have found Everything I've lost yesterday Although I can't understand it entirely But it is very important I quicken my pace to chase it But yesterday has so long gone I held out my hand to catch Yet it has gone with the wind Ease the pain Just ease the pain Memories are forever beautiful Ease the pain Just ease the pain Don't give up that fast Ease the pain Just let it go Tomorrow is waiting for you

The Power of Togetherness

I am a coward I've searched it through my heart But show me my courage Even if it's just a little bit True, you have tried to search The courage deep in your heart Because the courage of us both If combined, will become more As long as we hold our hands, joining heart to heart We will never fear again We will become stronger When I looked Into your tearful face I couldn't give you more help than I'm supposed to give Because my hands No matter how hard I clench them It's still the same size As long as we stick together, both heart and mind We will forget the coward that we were I will be stronger than ever before

When Will I Grow Up?

When I was sad, huddling at the corner of a road Staring at the lights on the streets A 7-year old me Filled with much curiosity about the world I stumbled as I cried Something shining at the end of the rainbow Changes in the blink of an eye At the eve of sunset I held on to the strangest dream Standing tall Until I realized that I was awakened from that dream Why must I grow up? When will I grow up? As I wake The light of sunset seeps through my window As I rubbed my eyes I couldn't believe That I am standing under the sunshine Though the distance seemed so far I cannot fly when I'm awake The light of sunset feels so far away Why must I grow up? When will I grow up?

Coz We Are Friends

Your smile Is like the blue sky My heart feels glad When I look at your face Even though we wear Different-coloured clothes Yet we both chase The same dream We are like clouds close together Traveling through the edge of the skies We look just like friends We are the best of friends From now until forever 'Coz we are friends

Till We Reach the Skies

We want to hear sweet music Is there anyone to sing a song for us? Of all the beings in this world Only humans can smile when they see a flower Only humans can shed bitter tears You who are weak look a lot like a human We love to listen to calm music Are you willing to sing one for us Even if your singing doesn't really sound too good? Give a beautiful name for each star That you see shining in the dark night sky Only humans can shed bitter tears You who are weak look a lot like a human Because we are humans Humans who will be strong one day

The Time Traveller

In the embrace of the green fields Let us sleep a while! What's the rush? Under the dark, silent skies The clouds with leveled voices Tell us tales as old as time At a billion years ago under the warm sun's rays There was a clear, blue sky just as today In front of the wide open sea where the sun sets My heart felt abnormally warm My heart was filled with peace Beside the sea where the moon rises The tide came in, bringing with them Memories as ancient as life A million years ago There was someone else just like you Who sat on this beautiful, soft white sand Two thousand years ago There was someone just like me Drenched by heaven's heavy waters

Footsteps of Dreams

My love! Do you know magic? Please help me, my love And turn this busy city Into a quiet, desert-like land under the sunset Only your voice can be heard calling me At the west side of the skies, watching the star of Scorpio It is telling me that this is the message of love This must be your dream For I am no longer who I was yesterday So I can understand what you feel deep inside We have both reached that faraway fairytale land We took the midnight train Listening to the train tooting, passing through the stars Going past the city roads, the streetlights streaming by Seems like we're traveling through the Milky Way At the east side of the skies, comes the bright shining moon As if it contains many happy stories Midnight train, listening its tooting Passing through the stars Where exactly is it going, you don't even know I can only pray to the heavens above Not to our wonderful journey Ever end

Clouds in Procession

Colouring the handkerchief that wipes the tears The clouds moved towards the North In a land far, far away There has to be someone who is sadder than I Oh, clouds, I shall hold on The man wipes his tears Oh, clouds, if you are willing to wipe his tears His eyes would surely look like the skies You are like a bouquet of white roses Moving towards the South You are like a present to a loved one For those who loves traveling Oh, clouds, you must reach here before sunset Because petals will become red Oh, clouds, your eyes are filled With hundreds of tiny little flower bouquets Oh, clouds When the rain falls down to the city You are surely between the rays of the sun Oh, clouds For that special someone I am willing to drench myself in the cold rain

My Happiness is Right Here

The moment the exams are over I lifted my head and there I saw The flag that bears our school's sign Fluttered under the gust of wind The pressed flower between my text book pages Has a memory on each petal Feeling good What a wonderful memory! The handmade necklace held in my hands Has never been shown to anyone else But everytime I took a look at the jewels on it I feel like I've grown a little again Feeling good The pom-pom skirts floating, lost in the wind They look like little witches on broomsticks And yet they look like tiny parachutes Falling freely, safely onto the ground Dipped warmly in my bath tub I lifted my head and saw the star-filled sky The stars that I recognized were unusually bright Feeling good At this split second of happiness I feel so blissful The drawing that started out with strokes and lines Is one of my accomplishments But I have yet to show it to anyone As I finished this piece of drawing I feel like I've grown a little again Feeling good The ne

The World in Contest

Grown-ups can be so unfair They are so unfair to their kids They expect us to make friends with the world And become a national person Although we wish to carry on playing Yet America is 10 o'clock, a very late night And Tokyo is 8 o'clock, early in the morning Not a time to play The world is not just one The time isn't the same; the days are upside-down The world is in a contest, which makes life more interesting 'Coz everyone is different Having abilities of their own Grown-ups can be so unfair They are so unfair to their kids They expect us to study real hard So that we'll become geniuses Although it's true in a way, it's easier said than done Some don't score in their tests Some can't even play 'Jump House' Many turn out to be losers But as long as there at least good thing in us, that's enough! The best thing would be to be able to be energetic after school Kids are in a contest, which makes school more interesting 'Coz everyone

The Milky Way of My Heart

I found a seashell by the sea Why does it look like a whirlpool? You told me that It is because of the snowy white line of the galaxy—The Milky Way The seashell had heard those voices Captivated by The Milky Way And swirled into this magical shape My ears and the seashell Both want to hear your voice But you are so far, far away The flower amidst the jungle Why do they have such beautiful colours on their petals? You told me that It is because of letting the sun shine its ray open the green fields Its ray of light bright and pretty like flowers Bringing its glory and burning its colours onto those petals Thought my love has started to bud But your love has not shine on it for growth Leaving me here all alone, a colourless flower My heart feels so strange When I silently think about you My heart feels like The Milky Way Feeling at unease

Love is You

Only love, I give to you Missing in my heart, so uneasy So hard to control Love is you Everything is as if in the wind Bearing all the sadness and the pain A city filled with smiles and tears I can forget them all I only want your embrace I'll never let you down Love is you In a world of dreams So alone Unable to carry on with life Maybe someday at dawn We will be in the sky Staring at each other's hearts Now and forever Yeah, no matter where we are Love is you

Warm Milk

In a dark moonless night I slowly opened my eyes All alone Spinning around in my own bed Unable to sleep, thinking of you In my dream, you were by my side Loving me so deep, so softly When I heard someone say, "What happened?" I opened my eyes again The important thing in your heart Is not me, and I feel bad Whatever is important to you I understand it more I took this little bit of confidence And held it in my hand Clutching this ring so tight Tighter than the pain in my heart Whatever is important to me Is that you will be by my side forever On this lonely sleepless night You are not by my side Drinking a cup of warm milk Made all by myself

Goodbyes

Like peeling the skin of an apple Time slowly swirls by As we continue peeling down to the bottom Today and yesterday come as one Even if we are lost for a long, long time As long as you turn around, I'll be just right here Time is like a spiral staircase We often say goodbye, yet we meet again So even if we part, we'll still see each other again The grape vines have grown Tomorrow will stretch towards the tall blue skies Even if you continue to climb higher The sun will still shine before your eyes Two complete strangers will come together as one They are like the stairways of the sun Saying goodbye but still continues to shine So even if we part, we'll still see each other again Time is like a spiral staircase We often say goodbye, yet we meet again So even if we part, we'll still see each other again

Seasons Come and Go

I want to close my ears and block away the perils of future Yet I was trampled by the feeling of lost loneliness Wanting to heal the pain with whatever courage I have left But everytime I fall, it felt so short a time We used to be together long, long ago Yet now we’re apart, leaving me all alone The clouds blown by the strong wind, bringing in the light of dawn Although we’re now apart, if there is still hope I wish we’d be together again Comparing to wishing to be loved, why not just carry on keeping this love? Like standing on the vast green field after a rainy day My heart that went cold and the days missing you Went round and round all over my body At this cruel winter’s day on a city covered with snow Because there were you, everything became a memory to me I wanna cry my heart out Your heart has gone with the wind, I wanna get it back Feels like the melting snow as summer passes through Looking back at all the days we used to share, feels ordinary but filled with joy Like the so

Unforgettable Planet

I can't forget this planet What a wonderful place Open your hands and smile A very valuable thing to me Whatever I'm saying to you Is a dream that spreads its two wings And flies past the great rainbow Land of the Sun My heart is filled with hope And can go just anywhere In a memory that is full And connected to our hearts We suddenly became so much stronger Something hidden, it feels so magical Open your hearts to receive The love that would never change Unforgettable The things we find on this planet The fantastic adventure in our lives Would remain in our memories, never falter We suddenly have become so much stronger

Walking Into Sunshine

There it is! Take a look! Our dreams holding hands Moving forward step by step Bringing your smile When tears are shed Sing this song, and starting tomorrow Everything will be beautiful Walking into sunshine Moving forward together Walking into sunshine Walking towards the door Dream, dream, dream Walking into sunshine Friends forever Walking into sunshine With a lovely smile

Love-Locked

My heart was pounding as we were led to the sacred grounds. This is it. This is where we will meet our end. I stole a glance at my brother. He gave me a sad encouraging look before being shoved up front before me. How did it end up like this? How could we have become like this? I never wanted us to end like this. I never wished for this to happen. Even though it is expected, I wish it would not have to come to this. My brother and I were inseparable. He's about 5 minutes older than I am, and though we're fraternal, thus we look nothing alike, there was no stopping us from being like peas and carrots, and we were the pride and joy of our parents. Then the great big flood happened. My brother and I were trying to catch fish for dinner that day and we were sent adrift. Then we woke up to find ourselves in a cabin surrounded by fire outside the yard. Apparently the big flood triggered and broke some sort of seal that kept the ancient undead at bay and the family that foun

Disturbed

An alien from another time and space attended school in human form She cursed people who bullied her with a sort of German ancient language Circled her finger around three girls that bullied her the most They ended up doing something beyond their control. The first girl found the tallest building said something cheery or she could be singing, I cannot remember Leapt to her death a gajillion stories below, her body tore a fire hydrant into pieces before she breathed her last Her spirit went and followed alongside the other girls who were cursed but they do not see her The second girl was cursed to be ridiculed for all eternity from the tips of her core to the depths of her soul To the point where she could no longer take it and she went up onto a tree and hung herself and her spirit joined the march The third girl was cursed to walk forever, never stopping She walked until she was literally starving and dehydrating And even though she couldn't walk anymore, her body kept on going Cr
