Hide and Seek

http://whyquantumphysicists.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Hide-and-Seek.jpg

When I was young I lived in a small house in the country. There weren’t many people around so I spent a lot of time alone. Near our house was a graveyard that I played in often.

I remember one day when I was nine years old I was feeling bored and decided it would be really fun to play hide and seek. Of course I had nobody to play with so I picked out a random tombstone and read the name on it.

“Ok Mr. Richard Borg,” I said aloud. “I’ll count to ten and you hide.” I knew it was all make believe but I humored myself and closed my eyes. After counting to ten, I opened them and proceeded to “find” Mr. Richard Borg. I ran up to his tombstone and touched it yelling “found you, now you have to find me!” And I ran off and hid behind a tree.

Thirty years had past since that day and I hadn’t thought about that graveyard in a long time. One night while my wife and two girls were at the grocery store, I was hanging some clothes in my bedroom closet when the door suddenly slammed shut behind me. I thought my wife and daughters had returned and were playing a joke on me.

“Very funny” I said as I opened the door. But there was nobody there. I poked my head out to look around the bedroom when I heard something. It was a low, trembling voice that said “Found you.”

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, ...
