Struggle




She ambushed me. I was on the ground in less than a second and she was on top me. Scratching and clawing at my face, she screamed out loud and plunged her face towards mine. Instantly, as if by instinct, I shoved my hand in her bloody mouth just in time to prevent her from taking a chunk of out my neck. Fear started to set in and so did her smell.

She reeked of fetid mould and decay. Her eyes were wild and insistent on ending my life. Our blood mixed and my vision began to sting and blur as it flecked into my eyes. She released her toothy grip on my hand and leapt to her feet, about four feet from me. I started to crawl towards the stairs and I could hear her giggling at her inevitable victory.

She leapt on to my back and began driving her fists into the back of my head. Even for a small woman, her little pointed knuckles were causing some serious pain and at that moment I was done playing.

I stood up, ignoring her feeble attacks, picked her up by the arms and threw her against the basement wall. She was out cold. I dragged her over to her mattress and began picking up her TV dinner. Leaving it by her, I walked up the stairs and unlocked the basement door with the key from my pocket. Breathing a sigh of disappointment, I turned to look down at her.

“Almost got me that time, maybe next week,” I shouted. Locking the door behind me, I shuttered with pleasure. I love it when they struggle.

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, ...
