A Kingdom for A Prince (Part 4)

Chad and I jolted off on our bikes, which turned into another race, yet again, like we had as kids.. and now.
It was starting to grow late, the sun was setting upon the horizon throwing beautiful shades of red, orange, pink, purple, and yellow. She turned a corner, eventually Earl's house came into view.

"We're almost there, let's ditch the bikes at the gas station like we promised," I reminded Chad.

"Alright, goody-two-shoes," Chad giggled as we made the turn towards the gas station.

"We should buy something for Earl as well. If we're gonna ask for his help, we can't just go empty-handed. Earl's not as charitable as most people."

"Well, you go get it. You know what he likes best. I'm gonna go to the john," Chad replied as he made a beeline to the counter to ask for the bathroom keys, then made his way to the back.

I rolled my eyes and mumbled. "It's probably because he doesn't wanna pay. Haha."

I looked around the convenience store, which there was nothing good, but instead, i decided to buy him a big bag of his favorite chips and his favorite drink. I made my way towards the corner, holding the sprite and spicy doritos.

"That'll be 5 dollars, sir." I gave him the five dollars. "There's two unchained bikes out their, belonging to someone, keep an eye on them like a hawk until they get here." I walked outside to find Chad had already gotten out. "Let's go."

Chad nodded and followed me as we jogged the rest of the way to Earl's home. "You sure we can trust Earl though? I mean, sure, he's like a family friend to you, but it's been years since you guys spoke to each other."

"2 years, technically," I corrected. "But yeah, he's good. I still keep up with him from time to time on Facebook. We comment on each other's statuses and posts. We're not completely cut off from each other. He's good, I'm sure."

"If you say so," Chad shrugged as we got closer towards Earl's compound.

I took and deep breath, to be honest, i was kinda worried. I gulped and knocked on the door 3 times. I could hear the thumping of steps until soon, it slowly creeped open. "Hey Earl, nice to see 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...

To A Beautiful Person

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, he listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but he chose... your heart. Face it friend, He is crazy about you! God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Choking on Ink

My grandmother told me when she was in high school an old math teacher in his 60’s named Harold Davidson was teaching math and one of his students wouldn’t stop tapping his pen during class. The teacher went berserk and lost his mind. He snatched the pen and attacked the kid, lodging the pen down the child’s throat while his classmates looked on screaming. While struggling, the kid kicked the teacher in the chest with the little energy he had left. The teacher collapsed and they both died at the same time. When school was back in session and math class began with the new teacher, the class noticed that a weird symbol appeared on the chalk board. The symbol had lines inside of a circle. All the lines within the circle were the common math symbols = + x and division. If you outline certain parts of the symbol it looks as if a pacman shape has a line going through its mouth or maybe a head getting choked with a pen. The teacher asked who drew it but no one came f...
