One Topic At A Time Novels & Stories

My head was going to blow up and leave pieces of meat scattered all over my living room. I haven’t had a moment of peace at all. Thoughts keep running through my head. Never stopping. Never ceasing. It was driving me insane, for heaven’s sake. “Okay, now I want you to focus on the key and the insects we are studying,” I tell Mary, one of the students I tutor. “If you want to master the dichotomous key, you have to focus on those two.”

Was it truly necessary to make it so grand just to pick him up? Just as he was in his dilemma, he heard the woman say over the headset, “Two by two is too inefficient, so let’s start four at a time next!”

He says. “2. Don’t wander off anywhere alone. 3. Don’t bother talking about what you are studying, doing, or your interests. Nobody bothers listening to what the other person has to say. Each one of them wants to talk about their achievements and nothing else until it’s an overlapping conversation with nobody really trying to listen to the other before saying their part.

The longer they talk, the more my frustration builds. They’re not getting to the point of how this could have happened, or what it means for the future of our kingdom.

I immediately told George about my new idea. George wasn't into it. “I don't know if that is what we need now." “Why not? What's a better of learning to cast a very powerful spell if not actually practising magic generally?" “I mean that's okay, but then it sounds like a long term goal, what we need is something that you would do to solve your immediate issue, you can tackle that later." “Well, I don't know but we have to try, it's not like we have other choices."

By tit or by tat. Byron kept repeatedly rubbing the left side of his chest. Having dated multiple women, he had plenty of experience when it came to dealing with the opposite sex. However, that day his heart could not stay calm. It kept jumping and rolling inside his body. And the reason was the woman standing next to him. It was their graduation day. Ki Jun was giving his validictorian speech as him and Scarlett cheered for him from the audience. Meanwhile, Michael was nowhere to be found.

One day at a time. Starting with tomorrow.
