A circle of the brightest students of their age, sat in a circle, engrossed in their note pads. Thinking about what they could do to save the planet from its certain doom. Their colour, changing from one idea to another, their thoughts were as one.
If one teenager had an idea, the other would write it down. If their ideas were the same, their colours would match. A creative circle it was called by their teacher, where they all wore head sets.
Young minds, with so much to share, and at least one of them might have a solution to the lack of oxygen in the world. There were air bubbles, yes. Pockets, like electricity, you had to pay for. For some, time wasn’t their friend.
The National Health no longer viable, the poorest of the earth’s inhabitants died.

Each step towards perceived success feels momentous, as she moves ahead on light feet with the entire galaxy in her eyes. She carves out new ambitions flying on wings of what has just happened. Her fifteen minutes of fame are just around the corner, and she is sure of not dying a nameless and forgettable … Continue reading Unfinished story
it was 15 minutes past 6:00 in the evening. in that moment, i realized how beautiful the night sky was. it brought so much beauty like no other time of the day. the only sound was the wind whistling through trees along the busy street of the university belt, with the occasional honking of the car here and there. the city light became so melancholic that it was difficult not to ultimately be sad while looking at the night sky. and then, as i looked up, i saw a sight like no other a brightly shining full moon, a sea of tiny stars surrounding it, and a sky all around, covered with blackness, speckled with beauty.
but this beauty does not come without a cost. yes, the night offers the magical sights of a starry night sky. still, it also means that the day has…
On the table, by the water a player and box of cassettes cartridges, cases, covers all mixed up play this one, no that one this is The Place no, it’s The Spot The Place is that other Spot oh, yeah, that’s right!
The lake water rippled. The tree canopy hush. Then we shut off the player. It was about time to leave. And in that one long moment. We knew this was about the last time. We were leaving The Place behind. For far more than this day.
I knock on
Heavens door
the angels won’t
let me in for
Hell is empty
all the devils
dance under
my porcelain skin
Heaven forgive
my only sin
I fell in Love

all in the name of Love’s
unfading glory
I was no longer me
a sacrifice
a warning sign
do not love like me
