Christmas was all over town and all over the house. The eve would take place at Leslie’s grandfather’s house, about fifty miles away, in just two days and Melinda was flying all over the house, trying to decorate each piece. Leslie looked at all this with an interest that no-one would catch up due to… [Read more…]

“I Am _ _ _ _ Locked” was something I didn’t quite understood when I first saw it as the profile picture of a friend of mine, on Facebook. Little did I know that it would only take me about six hours to get it. I know, it sounds like a really long time, but… [Read more…]

Christmas time was almost there. Carey had been trying to find a doctor to take Leslie’s IQ test but none of them seem to want to take it at school. The best chance would be to take the girl to the doctor’s office but the question was: did Leslie wanted her parent’s to know she… [Read more…]

Title’s block…

Giving titles to my stories is one of my barriers as a writer. I’ve read that some writers start their stories with the title; I surely go backwards then! I’ve been writing a short story that I keep updating in this blog and now I’ve reached the point when I NEED a title and I… [Read more…]

The loneliest day

Apparently it’s time for some Valentine love. In my opinion, this is one of the most crappy days on earth! No, it’s not because I’m single of because I hate romance. I just think people should make every day their Valentine’s day if they’re that much in love. Let’s think about it for a second.… [Read more…]

This is one of the most used phrases in social media and networks today. The singer and actress Whitney Houston was found dead in a Hotel room in Beverly Hills, the same hotel where the party preceding the Grammy’s was taking place. The causes of this tragic event are still undefined but the police stated… [Read more…]

What about the Future?

This is probably the most questioned thing around the world, nowadays. I, as a university student, think about it practically every day. It’s hard to find a job without a higher education but it’s equally hard to find a job when you have a degree as well. In fact, sometimes it becomes even harder. When… [Read more…]

Ring It was time for the morning recess. Carey had been secretly awaiting for it since classes began. After last night’s discovery on Leslie’s intelligence, Carey wanted to know how much did Leslie actually know. It wasn’t raining that day, so all students ran faster than usual and Leslie got ready to follow them to… [Read more…]

I can’t really explain where I get the idea for this post but it ended up being something I’m rather curious about. Most of us live believing that we will just die when we get too old; other’s believe that those who don’t last until the 90′s are the ones who probably suffered some accident… [Read more…]

After four days wondering about those exercises, Leslie decided to try doing them. Her behaviour at school didn’t change in the mean time but she could notice Miss Carey’s eyes on her more often. She said it had been a good thing to see Leslie taking out her books now but the latter didn’t see… [Read more…]
