Pandemic

It was during the height of the pandemic when the city was placed in a sudden and strict lockdown. The streets were empty, and the only sounds that could be heard were those of police sirens and the occasional howling of stray dogs. People were stuck in their homes, alone, and afraid.


But amidst all this chaos, two people found each other.


His name was Jack, and he was a writer. He lived alone i...

Letters of a Dying Love

Apr 25


Dear Juniper,


I hope this letter finds you happy and well. A lot has been happening with my family, so I can’t say the same for me, unfortunately.

Every morning I wake up to a desolate landscape where thousands of city folk and tourists crowded the streets. Not knowing what’s going on all the time is very stressful and I feel like I’m living the same day. However, I have to admit that s...

Game On!

I must be going insane, no I’m definitely insane!


To think that I’d
 like
 someone I just play video games with-


Uh
 I lost



Ugh!!! This is all your fault! I can’t focus and it’s your fault! Not because I’m bad at the game, no!


Ahh!! This isn’t good!! If I only I didn’t accepted your stupid V.S invite I wouldn’t have met you!!


Oh maybe he’s your soulmate that’s why you can’t stop thinking ...

Essential Worker Love Story

She could only see his eyes, but it was so obvious he was smiling. They were twinkling ruthlessly; the soft gray surrounding his pupils somehow the most vibrant thing in the room. The gentle murmur of the lobby had completely faded from her reality as the beat of her own heart pummeled away at her chest. His beard hair was curling coyly around the edges of his powder blue medical mask, like an inv...

Lockdown Of Love

I let out a soft sigh as I look out the window of my home, watching the clouds go by. Why did this have to happen? I was planning to meet the most amazing person ever! Now because of this virus, I can’t! I frowned a bit at the thought.


“Will I ever get to meet him?” I felt tears prick my eyes as I looked at my phone, watching a notification pop up. It was a message from my lover. A small, yet sa...

Our Wall

Sobbing. That’s the first sound that ushered me to her. Through the thin wall the head of my bed rested against I could hear gentle mewling and tears, which were trying to be silenced. It was faint, almost unrecognizable. But it was there, just above my head and through the wall. I let my mouth hang open to quieten my breath, attempting to catch a sound of her mood improving. It did not.


I hadn’t...

Generation ÎČ

~1~

I’m Caitlyn. Born 2030, I'm Generation ÎČ. In 2019, a global pandemic broke out and I grew up in what was called “the new normal”.


Anthony sat next to me in maths class on our first day of high school. Since we all wore masks, I had no idea what his face looked like, but what he did show was enough to give me palpitations from the moment I saw him. His strong eyes, lush eye lashes and his sm...

Deadly Love (T/W)

The world has stopped. No one comes and no one goes. Silent streets echo with ghostly whisper in the chilled unsettled air. A rare rumble of a vehicle engine breaks up the strange atmosphere. Cooped up with no place to be and nothing to do, except for hunching over my laptop continuing with online lectures for university.


Apart from that the days pass by listlessly, merging into a single blur. A...
