Life Of Pi Novels & Stories

Right before my flight took off, my phone was suddenly filled with missed calls. I didn't answer any of them. Instead, I snapped the SIM card in half and threw it into the trash bin. As soon as I got off the plane, I finally saw my mom, whom I hadn't seen in person for seven years. She looked much older than she had in our video calls, or maybe she had been using a filter. Suddenly, my tears wouldn't stop. She only patted my back and comforted me. "Come now, why are you crying so suddenly? Did you miss me that much? Whatever it is, we can talk about it after this."

“Never judge a book by its cover. Having a coworker like her is seriously the biggest stain on my life.” I ignored everyone’s mocking comments and simply smiled as I escorted Elijah and his group out. After everything I went through in my previous life, words like these meant nothing to me anymore.
