It’s been a long time, WordPress. I’m sorry that I went on another, but I can’t promise that this behaviour will stop. There’s been a habit of me trying to write more articles and then losing pace immediately, and I clamour to stop that from happening. No, I haven’t stopped writing Twelfth Meridian (now namedContinue reading “Things I Learnt On Hiatus”

Hiatus Update
Greetings, humans. It’s been a long while on this blog. I’ve been more active on my psychic blog lately and trying new things, so let me give you the rundown on what’s happening. 12M is no longer a novel That’s right. It was too difficult to complete the novel, so I tried a few things,Continue reading “Hiatus Update”
Flash Fiction #13: Fire Divining
I watched the bonfire, looking up at the moon to gauge its position in the sky. I knew for sure I wouldn’t sleep tonight, as I never took to tents. We were done toasting marshmallows, and I longed for one more toasty bite. At this point, we went around the fire and told scary stories.Continue reading “Flash Fiction #13: Fire Divining”
Flash Fiction #12: Altar
It was time. The cold feet sunk in, and I waited in the back room, tempted to fix my already styled hair. My husband-to-be waited at the altar. My feet froze further. But it was destiny. Our meeting was an accident. I tripped in a cafe and spilt my matcha latte on his front. WhenContinue reading “Flash Fiction #12: Altar”
Flash Fiction #11: Aftermath
“Are you ready to give up everything to save yourself?” The voice of a stoic stranger rang in my mind. Nothing was working out in my favour, so what was I supposed to answer? “Yes.” In my third eye, towers crumbled, with people buried under their rubble. The people screamed, but were drowned out byContinue reading “Flash Fiction #11: Aftermath”
Flash Fiction #10: The Lions and the Wolves
I had the strangest dream last night, that I was a lion, running in a pack of wolves. I had no fear, and the pack didn’t fear me. But after I woke up for work today, even though I was at home, I had the feeling of missing home. And it nagged me all morning,Continue reading “Flash Fiction #10: The Lions and the Wolves”
Flash Fiction #9: Accounting
I opened an email regarding job offers, where everyday the site would send me three a day. None of them tickled my fancy, until I stopped upon today’s: the local bank posted one for an accountant. Well, my Bachelor’s degree sat there for ages, and I needed the money. But was it the right decision?Continue reading “Flash Fiction #9: Accounting”
Flash Fiction #8: Beige Jacket
I could walk on the moon. My favourite beige jacket returned from the dry cleaners, smelling of lavender. Today was the day I’d wear it with a light blue ensemble. I made it into the managerial job posted online. To celebrate, I’d meet two friends for lunch at Fiori’s — fancy and upmarket, but onContinue reading “Flash Fiction #8: Beige Jacket”
Flash Fiction #7: Tattoo
I walked into the tattoo parlour, nervous, but ready to face the discomfort, however intense it may’ve been. Maybe it was best I had an idea in mind before I stepped in. But as I confirmed my appointment with the decorated lady at the desk, she asked if I had pictures, and handed me aContinue reading “Flash Fiction #7: Tattoo”
Flash Fiction #6: Gladys
I thought I’d done the right thing. My supervisor, Gladys, had a grim face upon calling me to her office. I knew for sure this was about the fight I had with another manager, John, over placement on shelves. I stood in front of her desk, and she sat down with a long-drawn sigh. “HereContinue reading “Flash Fiction #6: Gladys”
