"GOLDIE THE CUCUMBER GIRL"

"THEY FOUND HIS DIARY UNDER THE BED"
They found his diary under the bed. I was so angry when he left. He’d gone without a word of goodbye. Why? What had I done to deserve such a cold brush-off? I pretended that I didn’t care. Fine, ...
"THE BROKEN MIND"
I need to see what you cook. I need to be sure. They say it’s been a while since you’ve had it with me. I know that you’ve been patient enough. I’m not asking for a lot. In fact, I’ve never asked...
"THAT 'STUPID SLUT'..."
When you watched the news this morning on TV, you knew that she’d never be coming back. She was gone for good. Of course, you should’ve seen this coming. You might look at me in anger and shoot b...
"THE DARK BROWN DOOR"
“Whatever happens, never open that door.” Ani nodded as Mr.Armand, the owner of that big, old and two-story house in that quiet suburb area warned. It was her first day as a housekeeper for the f...
"FINN AND AMANDA: FOR THE ONLY ONE"
“No.” “Yes.” “Dad, no.” “Amanda, you have to.” “But I don’t want to, Dad!” The old man glared hard at me. His clear, pale blue eyes were as cold as ice. There were lines on his square, handsome f...
"IT'S NOT THE FULL MOON"
It wasn’t the full moon, baby. It was just us. It’s funny how I’ve got to be the more rational, rather skeptical one. I mean, I’m the one who loves horror stories and supernatural stuff. How come...
"STAGE FRIGHT"
They all gathered around the body on the stage that day. She was lifeless, her eyes staring emptily and her mouth stayed open wide. They’d tried resuscitating her minutes before. Nothing happened...
"AN UNSENT LETTER READ AT THE PARK THAT NIGHT"
“This city needs more green,” you said, which I believe to have been more than once. “I don’t understand why they keep on building buildings, making the whole thing look more like Gotham City - w...
"THE LAST SUNRISE WITH YOU"
“I’m bored,” you complained that night. It wasn’t the very first time you’d said that. “I wanna do something outside. I’ve been in this room for too damn long!” I sighed. I’d just returned from a...
"A CONTINUOUS STROLL TO ALL MY FAVOURITE PLACES"
“Where’s your most favourite place in the world?” That’s one tough question if you ask me. The answers may vary, depending on how I feel. The situations may change. My room is where I wan...
"LOOKING FOR YOU IN THE CROWD"
I still have that habit of looking for you in the crowd. They all say that I’ve got to move on. It’s true, but what can I do? Sometimes I can’t really help myself. I miss you. I’m surrounded by t...
"UNCONDITIONAL LOVE?"
“UNCONDITIONAL LOVE?” (Portraits of Reality) I love you. You love me. We love each other. Just like everyone who’s in love. They love one another. So what’s the big deal? We often think it’s just...
"COLIN'S 'MAGIC POTIONS' "
“My favourite wizard boy!” cried the old man happily, as Colin rushed into his bedroom and his open, weakly arms. They both hugged each other tightly and the old man kissed his forehead. “How are...
"YOUR PROFESSION"
I remember you and the first time we met. We were at a friend’s party at the club that night. You walked up to my side, wondering why I just stood in the corner and watched the band playing and o...
"THE NIGHT THAT OPENED ME UP"
That had been one hell of a getaway. No wonder they call it The Island of Gods. It did feel like a paradise to me, eventhough temporary. It was the place where you could relax for a while, fo...
"OUR LAST SUPPER: A MOTHER'S CONFESSION"
Welcome. Come on in. I know what you’re up to. You want to know, just like everybody else. You want to know why when you look at me. Why did I do that? Why did an ordinary woman like me do su...
"DANNY AND DELLA : NOVEMBER 2014"
DANNY: “So, Danny – tell me.” Danny looked at the curly-haired, stocky woman sitting in front of him. “Tell you what?” he challenged. The woman just stared back calmly, ready to take ...
"MUSIC OF MY HEART"
“I’m not putting them on.” I looked at the hearing aids in his hand, a birthday gift from me. Then I gazed up at him in wonder…and disappointment. “Why, Adrian?” “I just don’t want to...
"I THANK GOD FOR THE RAIN"
I always thank God for the rain. There are always reasons for that. Just like when I was a kid. I loved dancing in the rain. I didn’t care if Ma was angry, or that I’d catch a cold after that...
"WHEN WILL YOU CALL IT QUITS?"
When will you call it quits? I know that question irks you. Sounds awful of me, eh? You might hate me for that. I don’t care. All I know is that I am so freaking sick to death of the same old dra...
"AN ODE TO 'EVA LUNA' "
(Based on “Eva Luna” by.Isabel Allende) (Ruby Astari) I believe that my life is surely much, much better than Eva Luna’s. However, I feel that she is much braver than I am. She is stronger and mu...
"THOSE HAUNTING HOURS"
“When was the last time you cried? And why did you cry?” That was the topic of the radio show that night. The two radio announcers sounded so cheerful, even when they had to console a sobbing...
"RUDE?"
They think I’m rude. So what? I don’t see what the big deal is. Well, just like they refuse to see what my deal is. They think I’m only making it up, that I’m too sensitive. That I’m just being s...
"THE PAINTING"
I’d never thought it would’ve happened to me. It all started from my extreme exhaustion from reality. A real-life suffocation. I’d just got fired from my job. Not only that, my girlfriend Aida to...
