A day off

Gosh, it's so noisy in here. work was already so hectic for Thandiwe. She has many long days this last month. Her passion is being overwhelmed by the minimal time she gets to herself. growing with each passing day. It isn't through any erroneous scheduling or dictator at the helm of her work ship.The boredom. That is what makes her take it so far. Thandi has never been much good at doing things the way they should be. In fact, talk to her about and as soon as the token phrases "one step at a time" and "slow and steady wins the race" her eye ...

The guidance tour

Weekly Contest #349

Deep at the Earth’s core, it is growing. Changing us like never before. Working us from the inside out, the way most work should be done. I know its new. Extremely unpopular, but there’s something enticing about the unknown; about the option to do more and create more. That is why I know what I will choose. The unimaginable power of choice, of change just makes sense for me. I would be so much better.Maybe...Hopefully...Inevitably.“Vina, you are in dreamland, again. Come on the troops will be marching in here in a day, we don’t have much tim...

Dessert.

The family was inside. If you watched from just outside their window, you could almost hear their conversation. The words weren’t of much importance though, because she sat there. Comfortable, eating her food with her family. Laughing. Laughing like she never had, not at that age anyway. Looking through the window she wondered. When her daughter looked at her, would she smile? Look at her adoptive parents and say: ‘I knew it! I never truly felt at home.’ Would she run into her mother’s arms, kiss and hug her just getting out the words, ‘You ...

A letter from the moon.

Weekly Contest #52

My darling Rene, That passion you were complaining that I lack. Well, here it is. I am writing you a letter. I can hear your shocked gasp in my head at this moment. Rather old school isn’t it? Yes, trust me as I put pen to paper the weirdness of this action is abundantly clear to me. That’s just what I would do for you – anything (in case I wasn’t clear). Sthandwa sam, mi amor, my love (yes, three languages) it turns out I’m quite well-versed in the language of love, despite your accusations. This seems to be going well, somewhat. I guess I’...

Big break.

Weekly Contest #38

“I love you… I love you. Oh my god.” She giggles. He smirks and takes her hand into his. “What took you so long?”I hit the spacebar on my screen pausing as I let out an excited shriek. I roll my eyes at myself. Its just a show, relax. I nod composing myself. I don’t know about you but I’ve been waiting all season for this moment. I let an excited giggle leave my lips as I hit the spacebar once again, fully composed this time.She playfully shoves him and they laugh. There is a pregnant pause. Her gaze is piercing. He gently reaches for her ne...

You and me: Us

Weekly Contest #29

I met her only yesterday. Wait, that’s not true. I’ve known her my whole life, but yesterday. Yesterday was different. You see she’s been a common denominator in my life. Through the tears, hissy fits and honestly nobody knows my greatest hits like her. She doesn’t just know those parts of me, she is those parts of me, because in those memories and moments you see, she was there. Always carrying a smile to match my frown, a laugh to match my scowl even tears when I am overjoyed. To call her a rock is just wrong because she’s done more, been ...
