I Can't Stop Thinking About the Roman Empire

I can't stop thinking about the Roman empire and for the past year I have been thinking about the Romans. The Romans have done so much in their time of superiority. They had conquered so much land and successfully placed their influence on so many religions and cultures.

The roman empire have been living in my mind rent free for a whole year. It has taken over my life though and I am struggling to function properly. It's just crazy how much the Roman empire had done for the world and now they are just gone. They only exist in the history books and on TV channels.

My girlfriend Stephanie really needs my attention. A couple of weeks back when Stephanie managed to get my attention away from the Roman empire for a bit, I wrote 'I love you Stephanie' on the work table. We work at the same office.

Then ever since i had written that, everyday somebody has been carrying it on and keeps on writing 'I love you too Stephanie' and more people seem to be joining in. We have tables covered in 'I love too you Stephanie' and she is clearly freaked out by this. She wants me to do something but I am constantly thinking about the Roman empire and how their civilisation worked.

Like when I was meant to go to HR about whoever keeps writing 'I love you too Stephanie' on tables and walls, but I was distracted by the road works. I couldn't help but just observe the road works and this reminded me about the Romans and their wonderful road works.

I was also meant to have a private word to some coworkers who me and Stephanie thought were behind the writing 'we love you too Stephanie' on the tables. I never got round to it as I was distracted by the rivers and ponds. It reminded me of the incredible Roman aqueducts they had built and I really wanted to be part of the Roman empire.

Then we found 'we love you too Stephanie' inside our cars and inside our homes. Stephanie was freaking out now and she was too emotional to call the police. I had to do it but I got distracted by the Roman empires rules and infrastructure.

The Roman empire were truly amazing and I keep seeing the Roman empire and hearing the Roman empire. I really need to force myself out of it and to stop myself thinking about the Roman empire.

Then one day when I snapped out of day dreaming about the Roman empire, I found Stephanie all stabbed up with the words 'we love you too Stephanie' all over her body.

Her death reminded me about how the Roman emprie dealt with death.

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...

"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, ...
