He jumped inside and looked around. It was almost full. He found one seat in the middle row that had a vacant chair. He moved towards it trying not to stamp on the bunch of people who were already there. He took his seat and looked at the elderly man sitting next to him. “Hi, I thought I was late” He said with a smile. “No you are just in time” Said the old man “Good, when did you come?” [...]
I slowly peeled back my eyelids and immediately wished I was still out for the count. All three of them were bending over me looking for me to give them some kind of response. I closed my eyes with the sudden fear of what was going to happen to me. My neck was sore probably from the blow with something hard. A few minutes passed and I could just hear some movements around me. “So what are we going to [...]
“Dad” She asked him “Yes dear” he replied “Can Dogs and elephants be friends?” She asked pointing at the picture on the wall He looked at the picture; it also said it was drawn by a fifth grader. “Very nice” He thought He looked at his daughter and said “Sure they can but why do you ask?” She walked closer to the picture and said “But they are so different. The dog is small and the elephant is so big” [...]
“Where am I?” He looked around trying to see something. It was pitch black. He could hear some groans and creaks near him. He realized he was sitting in a chair. “Who are you?” Came a female voice from the front and before he could speak there was a loud cry followed by sobs that felt like they would go on for eternity. “Stop it; we need to find a way out” Said another voice. “Shut up, we might be being [...]
“What do you see” He asked her. “I see a plant” She said in her sweet little voice “Yes a plant” He repeated and smiled at her. “Do you know why I am giving this to you?” He asked “Because you love me?” She giggled He pulled her closer to him and kissed on her forehead “Yes dear because I love you, but there is one more reason” He said She looked at him with curiosity in her eyes. He [...]
“So what were you saying?” He asked without taking his eyes off the window. “That I could prescribe some medication that can reduce the tantrums“ said the Doctor. He turned and looked at his Doctor “Why? Are you telling me that this is an illness and not the age?’ “Well it could be, Could be the initial seed of developing a split personality” Said the doctor “He turned to the doctor still his hand on the window “But he is [...]
“A Banana? Was that what it was all about?” He shouted and then he looked back at the road and showed a finger. He got out of the car and inspected the wreck. The rear tires were flat. “Damn!” he said and looked all around. His elbow was also aching. The most deserted highway and the sun was bend on letting his ass on flames. He wished he had a beer. He looked inside for some water. As usual there [...]
He looked at all the people around him and asked “so what are you all around me for, have you never seen a naked guy” He tried to cover his nakedness but stopped as he had hurt his hand really bad from the fall. He looked at the people gathered around him and asked again “Have you never seen a guy drunk?” his tongue was not in his control, but the people seemed to follow every word. Some nodded yes, [...]
He looked at the fallen petal and then at the flower, He was not sure if the flower felt sad. He plucked one more petal and then looked at it again. This time he felt that the flower moved a bit. He came closer to it and blew on it; the flower swung back just once and looked back straight into his eyes. He plucked one more petal and smiled at the flower. Did he hear the flower cry? He [...]
He looked at the clear sky; He had never seen one like this in a long time. When someone tells him about the sky, the first images that come to his mind are the stars that adorn the skies and he would be lying on his back looking up.
