The true price of intelligence

Reign of Fire
"I can smell the fire coming," Captain Jake said, even before the alarms went off at the station. A minute later, the alarms blared. He was a seasoned fireman with years of experience and always knew when a fire was coming. Jake was a real hero, not like the fake comic book hero’s you see in the movies or television. Jake actually saves lives for a living.

Daisy Chains
To me now, the image of a seven-year old girl as a stern and humourless technical instructor is comical. It’s an image that must have been purged from my memory shortly after experiencing it, only to be reconstructed when I reached an age where Catherine O’Reilly’s inscrutable withering glare was not so intimidating. At the time, I had assumed that she was as skeptical as everyone else of a boy wanting to learn how to make a daisy chain. But as I avoided eye-contact, instead watching her hands as she described the proper place to pierce the daisy’s stem (“here”, she said, tolerating no differing opinions about proper stem piercing placement), something in her voice told me that it was not my gender that bothered her. Daisy chains were serious business to her, not something for amateurs to trifle with, and artisans do not teach.

No Good Deed
As the movie ended, Lena felt a great sense of relief. She had enjoyed the film, no question and, as always, was guiltily gleeful at having finished - but for the unpopped kernels - a medium buttered popcorn and a medium soda. It was a full-on treat night for her. And, yet, she felt the flutter of her anxiety working its way from her stomach to her throat. “Impeded, no doubt, by popcorn and carbonation,” she thought to herself.

Echoes of Eternity
In a world where dreams and reality often collide in the most unexpected of ways, two souls stand on the precipice of a connection that defies time itself. Sophia, a museum curator with an insatiable fascination for history, and James, a talented musician haunted by the elusive melody of his unwritten symphony, were two strangers living disparate lives. Yet, a mystical force, like the wisps of a forgotten love story, drew them inexorably closer.

'long long long' is too long
The silence was one of the things Benjamin cherished most about his village. In most other inhabited places, people contributed to creating a deafening and cacophonous atmosphere, undoubtedly useful for raising spirits or slipping unnoticed through market stalls but not for appreciating those little sounds that Benjamin loved more than anything else. If you had come across a phrase like, "Antiquarian Benjamin Hayes finds the strength to wake up in the morning only because he knows he can enjoy some small noises," back then, it might have been almost entirely true, if not entirely false.
