Poofy Cheeks

I lose my rationality over anything cute and wholesome. Babies, toddlers, hamsters, cats, dogs, etc. For me, it’s the only way to keep despair at bay… I’m here to improve my writing skill through experimentation, practice, and observation!

Rescue

_That looks like a capsized ship. And someone is stranded on it._

“Captain! A stranded man, over,” the lookout radioed down to the wheelhouse.

“Alright!” The captain answered. “Louis and Will, lower the boat and being him back, over.”

“Aye aye, captain.”

A pitifully drenched man arrived back to the ship with help from Louis and Will. He was shaking and had trouble coordinating his motor moveme...

Love Triangle

Love triangles are dangerous.

They have only one purpose:

To entertain and service

Watchers and readers, yes.

In real life, I’ve never come across

A love triangle, three people at a loss.

Only love magnets, with one single boss.

All the boys or girls, after their secret sauce....

Life Is A Sharp Stick

Poofy Cheeks

1 min read

Life is like a sharp stick… of carrot.

It takes effort to get out from the ground, the end is small and tastes weird, but there is satisfaction in the middle, no matter how thin.

Competiting with other rabbits is tedious, especially when some are greedy horders.

When fighting for an extra juicy carrot, we don’t hold back our paws and kick our opponents as much as they kick us.

The especially g...

Eunice was a little girl who wanted to experience a normal life.

Despite being born to very well-off parents, she had a rare disease that prevented her from living outside the hospital.

“Mom… I don’t want to do any more surgeries, please… it hurts…”

“Honey, just one more, okay? It’s so you can get better.”

“But what if I never get better?”

Eunice liked to distract herself by watching the TV i...

The Burden Of Memory

On calm waters out of nowhere,

A tsunami arrives again without care,

Scaring all the land mammals there,

On my island begins a nightmare.

The air trembles, warning shouts echo,

Screams plentiful, but escape successful,

Still, the trauma lingers on the soul,

In shaking fingers, gasps, and woe....

Who Brought A Hamster

‘We leaned up against the wall, and I had no idea what was coming next.’

It was pitch dark, and we were terrified.

“Let’s hold hands, I’m scared.”

We held hands with each other as we waited for the back up generator to switch on.

A second later, the lights turned back on although dimmer, and a teacher’s angry shout echoed through the camping lodge.

“WHO BROUGHT A HAMSTER?”

The dreaded day has come for Pixia.

“I don’t want to be tickled!!” Pixia rolled around furiously on the ground.

“Pixia! Stop your tantrum! You’re four years old already! Aren’t you embarrassed?” Pixia’s mom scolded.

“But I don’t need wings!” Pixia pouted until her cheeks looked like they would explode.

At that moment, Pixia’s aunt descended from the sky. “Pixia dear~ it’s tickle tickle time~”

A Wild Dino Appears

‘A wild dinosaur appears.’

Yes, dinosaurs roamed the Earth with humans in Dimension C3.

Archaeologists predicted that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds, but the ones that appeared on C3 were likened more to giant alligators. It was as if evolution preferred their legs shorter, almost like how hamsters and dogs with stubbier legs were being ‘naturally’ selected for evolution these days.

“This dessert is simply scrumptious!”

“Why yes! We must pay respects to chef!”

The noble ladies at the Duchess’ tea party exclaimed their fervent praise for the new dessert.

It was a miniature cake for each guest with adorable whipped cream decor and fresh fruit.

“I am so glad that you all enjoyed it. This is my new favourite as well,” the Duchess smiled warmly in response.

“In fact, the chef...
