The Wedding Jitters

Mr. Stud has been trying to sleep for hours. The flickering light on his bedside table seemed to harmonise with his incessant breathing. He tossed and turned a few times and pressed his head against the soft pillow resting on top of him, closed his eyes and tried not to think about anything else. He…

Fire and Brimstone

She was born out of hatred and intense desire for revenge Her heart hides a thousand secrets, destructive, manipulative. She is the nameless ghost of the past, a nebulous creature wandering the terra firma of mortals for centuries, elusive. She is the evil incarnate, banished from hell, coveted the freedom of human, envied the innocence…

Queen Of The Clouds

She’s unafraid on the surfaceBut barely keeping her head above waterDrowning in chaosDrifting further away from the light. She is a mystery, her mind is an abyss tainted with doubtsHer stories long forgotten,Pages of cloistered memoriesBuried among the debris of her secrets. She has reached the trifecta of lonelinessVoices inside her head kept her awakeHer…

My World In Chaos

Hacos is a town that sits in the middle of a deserted emplacement, surrounded by thick layers of unattended turfs, built inside a dilapidated stone wall.

He looked very different, his eyes were gleaming with hope and liberation, youth was…

Jumong

  He walked in like a sudden storm meant to make me astounded, like a fire I was drawn to him, he was wearing his college uniform, his hair uncombed as it seemed, fit perfectly with his lonely set of eyes and I only paid attention to him, I thought to myself; Who in their…

Poisonous fruit

For years I've kept this secret ensconced in the deepest part of my soul, underneath my darkest desire of revenge, creeping in every second of my hatred and disgust, crawling in my skin with malice and somber intentions. I was a captive of the past, a bitter past. And you were my curse, my nightmare,…

Ben

Ben was not in the mood to work today, he was cowering in bed trying to find solace from the silence of his room, trying to keep himself from absolute obscurity, straining to forget about what happened yesterday. Yes, yesterday could be the worst ordeal he had to endure on his painful journey of emancipation,…

Broken Heart and Limerence

He didn't see me among the crowd, I walked slowly too, I counted my steps, careful not to make a noise or be seen. I admired his stance from behind, his broad shoulders stood mighty as his hair flowed against the current of the stellar wind. He would never know how many times I tried…
