Monster in the Forest
“…and then, what do you usually do at school?” Paco asked.
It’s been a couple of days when I started hanging out with Gus and Paco. I don’t know if they just kept me company while I’m here or they just don’t have friends in this village. Though I felt like it would be the latter.
“We learn things with other kids. For 8-9 hours.”
“Hours? What’s that?” Gus and Paco looked at me confusedly.
“Oh, sorry I forgot. Basically, you’ll be in school from morning to afternoon.” I said, so that they could understand better.
People don’t have a sense of time here. Morning, noon, afternoon, night— just that. Basing their time through the activities of the sun, weather, coldness, or warmness of the air.
“What? Why go there? That’s so boring,” Paco complained. But I saw how Gus’ eyes glinted with curiosity and excitement.

We spent a good amount of time hiding behind a tree before the Elders left. Gus checked the premises if it was really safe for us to go out.“They’re gone,” he said. But he was still keeping his voice low.I raced towards the river but before I could dip my feet to the shallow waters, Gus stopped me.“Pay respects first before going in,” he said.I finally understood what he meant when I saw Paco bowing before touching the water. I imitated him before dipping my feet to cool it off.“Your Elders must be pretty smart, huh?”“Yes, they are. Old people really know a lot of stuff,” he answered.“How could they know about the calendar and time?”Paco splashes some water on me and said, “Well they’re Elders. Maybe the Beast Spirits taught them or something.”I tapped his shoulders as if consoling him. “Wow, your answer is… I can&rs

Perhaps, she was now happily going to this so-called school she kept on bragging about.That night, when Lin pleaded to meet with Gramps, they immediately left earlier the very next morning. I was sad yet relieved at the same time because on that very same day, the Elders came knocking on our door. The moment I saw their faces, I already knew what they came for.They searched for Lin’s track. But her existence was like a dust completely blown off by the wind. Two people were not here anymore, yet villagers who never felt their presence carried on with their lives.They were never part here.Some days, I go to Gramps’ hut with Paco using the path we used when Lin was still here.

Delivery On A Mattress It's true
We lived in a mountain where it’s not totally inaccessible, but also not that convenient to live in. From an average family, average looks, average IQ… Anyways, I’m just an average girl, okay? Though, I enjoy reading more than an average 10-year old girl.“MA! My socks please…” I said to my mom, Ellen, who was cooking in the kitchen. My ‘ma’ was a high school teacher while my ‘pa’ was an electrician. I have two older brothers, Jiro and Rigo(identical twins), who were 2 years older than me.I heard my mom’s footsteps through the door. “Lin, isn’t it time for you to look for your things using your eyes and not your mouth?” She said while entering the room looking for the other pair of my socks.I’d say I’m pretty reliable and independent. HOWEVER, that is only true when my mom’s not around. But when she’s with me, I turn into a malfunc

*ding… ding… ding…* My favorite sound was the bell, it meant that I can give my full attention to reading. Today’s lunchtime was quite a delight for me, there were no distractions in my surrounding. My classmates usually flocked in my seat and have their chitchat. But since they were busy cramming their essay, they’re all facing their paper with pen in their hands.We had to write down the things we’ve understood and lessons we’ve learned from the reading assignment. It was easy since I love reading, anyways.Right now, I’m reading ‘The Emperor’s Desire’(My Ma owns this book).

The most important event among students will be next week.“You should really collect some fee from them, y’know?” interrupted Rigo.

It was a busy day in our village. People bustling all over the place preparing for the exciting celebration that will happen later this day.“Aah! Lucio! We need to gather more woods,” I heard someone yelling from a distance. Adults were preoccupied with gathering materials and fighting with each other on how they need more stuff, and kids (like me) were busy playing.As for me, I didn’t have many friends. I wouldn’t even call it few, just one.“Guuuuuuus!!!” I heard someone call my name, though I don’t need to see who it was. “There you are. Where you headed to?” Paco asked.He’s a short kid with a muscular body, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. His hair was tied into a half-knot. Most of the people here have long hairs but I took the time every now and then to cut mine.“I’m going to see gramps,” I answered.“Again? But we should be enjoying this da

Toptoeing as I exited the room. I don’t want to wake anyone in this household.“Come, boy,” I said quietly. Monmon, our black puppy stood up and licked my face all over.“Shhhh… Let’s go.”Just as I thought that I would be safe outside our house, Aunt Luna— our neighbor was outside, tending her garden.“Good hunting day!” said our neighbor. She looked quite intimidating.
