The Tuscan Pegasus

Up on the mountain and beyond the thick layers of clouds, a flock of white wings flap and cleave the air. A horde of pegasus briskly swish by. The clouds are their playground, galloping through the puffy vapours on the blue sky.

I’m Home, Sweet Home

Once upon a time, in a place far from any cities ever knew, there lived a girl who owned a big piece of land. She looked young, yet also mature, and no one could guess exactly how old she was—nor did they dare to ask. Nevertheless, everybody knew about the extensive land she owned that …

In The Closed Room

The brisk footsteps grew fainter beyond the closed door. I stared at the newspapers that were messily plastered on the window. The late afternoon sun tried to break through the flimsy off-white paper and succeeded in casting a weak shadow that fell on top of a chair in the corner of the dim room. A …

That Black Creature

The creature was there. Its head was black, or maybe dark blue, I couldn’t be sure. Its head swayed around, as if registering the foreign surroundings. Its jaw, packed with fangs, opened and closed multiple times. However, there was no sound of growl I wished I heard from it, probably swallowed by the fierce sound …

Vroom Vroom Vroom

Illustration by Lunargravity Deep among the trees, a vast field was seen. Dozens of cubical houses in thatched roof scattered throughout the area. High fences crafted from logs formed a firm boundary that encircled the whole neighbourhood and separated them from the forest; its sharp ends piercing high up to the sky. It was another …

A Hug

Ever since his earliest memory, he only had his mother: the woman who spent most of her time outside the house, went home to drop some boxed meals for him and going out almost immediately, saying that the boy should be grateful that she still managed to spend some time to care for him. He …

That Passing Girl

A dull evening. The sky expressed its unwillingness to show itself, hidden behind the thick grey clouds with a hint of twilight hue. The air is heavy, as the hovering vapour was unable to keep the pressure it had been holding all day long, causing it to loom lower and turned even more sombre and …

A Transient Delusion

It was night time. I stood alone in the middle of a classroom packed with wooden desks and chairs. There was no light and my sight fell short. I could not see way past the rows of desks and chairs, though I believed a white board was hung at the far end of the room, …

Through the Eyes

It was midday and the sky showed its grayish and cloudless appearance without any sight of the sun but still painfully bright. Moza paid no attention to it as she walked along an uneven, rocky pathway flanked by cracked stone walls. Along the destroyed path, deep, crater-like holes spread in disarray. However, this was the …

Good Morning

A man in his early thirties walked slowly along the corridor. From the translucent-curtained window at his side, the sun penetrated through, casting a path of ray on the grey marble floor. He glanced upon the clock hung on the wall, telling him it was five minutes away from seven. Its ticking sound vibrated throughout …

Ninety for Thirty

It had been a clear sky before the dark grey cloud made its way towards the vicinity. The dirty-looking puff was a contrast sight against the bright, something out of the daily occurrence. Eventually, the sunny day went dim as its source of light was forced to hide behind the thick nimbus. The day felt …
