The Breakfast Nook
Chrissy wanted a breakfast nook. You know... one of those square tables with a bench up front and a wall bench unit with storage under the seats. I’m not sure why she wanted one as we rarely eat breakfast. However, we are always in need of storage... mostly for stuff I owned before Chrissy moved in and saved me from the evil decorator spirits that inhabit my soul. But if mama ain’t happy... etc... etc... So I started looking for a breakfast nook.

Glasses
Chiharu situated herself on the tree branch, leaning against the trunk and letting one of her legs swing loosely over edge and the other planted firmly on the sturdy branch. From her back pouch, she pulled out her burgundy red reading glasses and put them on.

Love quotes for him
Love quotes for him A mistake Once some students were doing some experiments in a chemistry lab. All the students were so busy with their exams that suddenly a bright bubble came up from a boy's test tube and his scars went in front of the eyes of the girl doing the test. The whole laboratory was abuzz. Everyone was very upset. The girl was rushed to a hospital where doctors said she had lost her eyesight. Upon hearing this, the family members of the girl started cursing the boy and the people of the school kicked the boy out of the school. Now no colour was the main thing in the life of that girl. Even family members cursed the boy for ruining their daughter's life.

Wolf, Interrupted
Working up my nerve, as I clutched the armrests of my chair until my fingers throbbed, I said to the people behind those weary-but-interested faces in my circle, "My name is Pauline," smiled patiently through a halfhearted chorus of, "Hi, Pauline," before I finished up my introduction: "and I am not a wolf, but I ought to be."

Love never ends.
He left alone Those were my golden days. I was getting all the happiness of life. Because I loved a girl and she loved me 100 times more. Our days were passing as if a golden dream was coming true. It was the most beautiful thing of my life. We spend every moment together. His name was Payal. We both used to quarrel a lot and I did it on purpose because it was so nice to celebrate him. When he bowed his head and said sorry, I would laugh at the innocence of his face. He hurriedly hugged her.

TO be or not… what does it mean to be at all?!
It is 1:55 pm now in Cairo. I am sitting on my favorite disc, in front of my laptop, tapping the keys on the keyboard, feeling the warmth of the sunbeams illuminating my room through a 1x1.5m window on my right.

New Virus Detected in America
While still reeling from the world-wide effects of COVID-19, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has issued a medical alert regarding another in a long list of highly contagious and potentially dangerous viruses. These new viruses can be transmitted orally, by hand, visually and even electronically. A facilitating agent for transmission of the virus, is considered, also to be governmental and corporate stupidity and greed. The virus has been aptly named the Weekly Overload Recreation Killer (WORK) virus. Ground zero for the start-up of this virus has been narrowed down to a location somewhere between 1599 and 1601 Pennsylvania Avenue in the city of Washington, D.C. in America. It seems that a person (or persons) in that specific area has been attempting to spread the virus to many parts of America and the world through insistence that the citizens of (at least) America (especially the elderly) prepare to undergo daily and/or regular contact with WORK beginning as soon as yesterday. It is very likely that WORK has already been contracted by some corporate bosses and employers and that they, in turn, are prime candidates to spread this very dangerous virus to others in their own business environments. The CDC strongly recommends that all citizens of America, and indeed North America and the World, should distance themselves as far as possible from WORK at this particular stage of the present global crisis. If, for example, your own boss attempts to transmit WORK to you, or if you suspect that any of your colleagues are extending efforts to put you in contact with WORK, via any means, immediately vacate those premises and take shelter right away in your own home. One should also avoid opening electronic messages or responding to telephone calls that may attempt to coerce you back into the WORK-infested environment any time in the indefinite future.
