Shipwrecked & Single (Chp18)

Chapter 18: Luau Time

There was Timoti! I thought that a kiss would be a fair trade for a party drum. I tried to steal a kiss, but Timoti is playing hard to get.

I’d do whatever it took to impress Timoti. At first, drinking the volcano water was like gargling with lava, but it turned out to be rather good.

It was Limbo time! How low did I go? Let’s just say that my athletic prowess shined through again on the limbo pole—meaning I didn’t break any bones. Good times!

Talk about getting raked across the coals…Timoti wanted me to walk across hot coals—for fun! That’s right, I walked across fire! I am a fire-walker! I can’t believe I just did that. Walking across hot coals is something I never would have had the courage to try back in the city.

It was time to make my move again. Timoti and I shared our first kiss. It was life changing. I never want to kiss anyone else again. No doubt about it, I’m in love—and I’m getting in deep!

I awoke with a clear head. A sound sleep was just what I needed. I dreamt I was back in the city—at work in an office job. Then the dream changed and I was locked in a cage at a zoo, then drowning in a rich man’s aquarium. It was a nightmare! My life is here now.

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....
