Strange Meeting
"Can I join you?" Melanie looked at the stranger and was unable to discern his features fully due to the sun's position. He had a gruff voice and a sunhat on, maybe? It was difficult to tell. She didn't want him to sit next to her but she found herself acquiescing nonetheless.

The Smiling Deer
I drove up on it in the dead of a cold winter's night. My, what a ghastly sight it was! At first, it seemed a normal deer; maybe just a little thin. But when it lifted its head to look at me, I could tell there was something off.

FADING ECHOES; BROKEN HEARTS
And I walked and walked and walked until I could no longer walk. The things that love makes you do. The sea with its rising and falling waves and the sun setting down with the gusts of wind that brushed my face every now and then—all of it mimicked a healthy conversation, a lively conversation, a joyful conversation. But alas, many things in life are not what they seem to be. My late mother used to say “Live life like you are living it the first time, Live life the way you would live it if you had another chance” To the normal brain, such a sentence would not be very comprehensible, and so it was not to me; I’m only human after all. But after all the sorrows and sufferings of this life and now the state I find myself in—dejection—do I think that one understands the philosophies of life and the profound essence of living life properly and to its fullest—or may one dare to argue, and if they do, then no wonder suicidal notes have become more common in this world all of a sudden.

The Cat
As I lay down, drifting to sleep, my cat jumped onto the bed. Hey stinky! I yelled, then I hugged him and pet him. Suddenly, my cat bit me. This time, he wouldn’t let go. “Let go of me!” I shouted, as he still wouldn’t let go. After what seemed like an eternity, he stopped. Unbeknownst to me, that wasn’t even my cat, or at least I don’t think he was. Every so often I think as if my cat is a skin walker, especially at night when he comes on my bed and I can’t see his face, everything is a blur of darkness and I guess to myself “this is not you Panther” but skin walker or not I love my cat, and he will always be my best buddy.
