Where Am I?



    It happens mostly on rainy days and nights. When the air is wet, heavy and humid; creating a thick fog all around. It doesn’t happen to everyone, and who knows why, but it can happen.

    Sometimes, you’ll be driving, coming home from work or school, after a long busy day. You just want to get home, climb into bed and take a nap or maybe get something to eat, but you’re tired none-the-less. You’ll notice the fog slowly growing worse, the longer you drive, but it doesn’t seem like anything to worry about, just bad weather. You’ve driven this route more times than you can count, not like you’ll get lost, but that’s when it happens.

    The fog is even thicker now, you can barely see a foot or two in front of the car, and it’s even worse if it’s dark out. You’ll be driving, expecting to come to that familiar curve or intersection, and then you notice it never comes. The road just seems to keep moving forward, the surroundings engulfed and muffled by the fog. You’ll assume you were just getting ahead of yourself and hadn’t actually made it that far yet, but that feeling will soon fade. You’ll keep driving, following the straight road, getting more and more confused what’s going on, did you make a wrong turn and somehow become lost? You’re mind will be anxious and wild, sometimes old memories will seem to suddenly show up on your mind, as well as people or other things you may never thought about in quite sometime. But, no, don’t worry about it all, just keep driving.

    Eventually you will finally reach a point that seems recognizable and the road will suddenly revert to your normal path, and hopefully you will make it home. Other people are not always as fortunate. Sometimes people feel so lost, they may stop the car, pull over, and do the worst thing they can do. They get out of the car, they try to find where they’ve ended up, but only get themselves more lost, it’s a dangerous place to be. Who knows what that place really is, some dark demented reality? Maybe some kind of Limbo? No one really knows, and many will never experience such a thing, but trust me, you don’t want to be there.

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, ...

That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. I've learned.... That when you're in love, it shows. I've learned ....

I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. I've learned.... That you should never say no to a gift from a child. I've learned....
