SDS 1.16 – Knocking On Heaven’s Door

Heh, heh we went to a few places for this episode including the airport because Arrch was going back to Australia. Nonetheless, the activities brought as to another country and universe without even a passport! Hur, hur.

Co-starring: Avariel, Joelyn Alexandra, Mintea and Raven Silvers. Obviously guest starring Arrch!

Story Starter #2

Ok, I asked for starting sentences on Twitter if anyone wanted a random free short/micro fic.  Here’s 3. Maybe more if by the end of the day anyone else asks and I’ll just edit them into this post!

The sentences:

  • “Oh no, there’s too many of them!” by Arrch
  • “Before engaging with selkie guys, it would be wise to know this:” by BeingEvil
  • “And he ate the cupcake, without sparing a thought for his own safety.” by Arrch
  • “Now her red checkered fleece hoodie had all sorts of alien goo on it.” by lysistarielle

Okay, since Arrch said twice, I made the second one extremely short! Let’s go! Each story starts after a picture so you know which belongs to what.

Story Starters exercise #1

Ok, this was on twitter. I got a starter sentence from @jolantru and suddenly wrote some thing to continue it before it hit 5pm. Here it is! I might do other story starters for fun like an exercise. The sentence was, “The book disintegrated in my hands. I cringed, dreading the feel of dead paper on skin.

SDS 1.15 – Jai Ho

The Treasury of the World – Jewelled Arts of India in the Age of the Mughals is still running until the 27 June. Joelyn Alexandra, Raven Silvers, Avariel and I went there on the 28th of March because they were having a special Mighty Mughals weekend festival (we were busy on the 27th with this) ! It meant free entry to the Asian Civilizations Museum too! The one near the river. Behind the Arts House, that one since I know there’s two.

Ghostly Pursuits Part 1 of 2

Have a random story! Actually this was a submission for an online magazine but alas! It wasn’t what they’re looking for. I decided to post it up here instead. It was a last minute written thing so meh. I split the submission into 2 parts.

Maybe I’ll add another part since the ending for the whole story was actually pretty rushed.

Have part 1 of 2 (or 3?). It’s not that woah as my usual stuff since I wrote it in a slightly emergency manner? I had no idea what I wanted to call it so I went with the cheesiest title in mind when I submitted it.  It’s in 1st POV so HAH. It started out as 3rd but I did a replace/find to turn it into 1st to beat the deadline since I write faster in that. In any case, here!

SDS 1.13 – She Bangs

Do you know the characteristics of a day adventure usually means getting lost somewhere? Well, know you know. This time Raven Silvers, Joelyn Alexandra and Avariel met up with me at Bedok Interchange to take the 401 to East Coast Park. We arrived there at around 10.30am and stood at the line for like minutes talking about the latest Pokemon game when I noticed something on the sign.

First bus: 1400 hours

ARRRRRRRRGH. Ok, that’s alright, we went to the control station thing for buses and I saw a sign with the numbers of other buses we can take.

And so we did.

And so we stopped at the wrong stop and had to walk a lot because even if we could see the sea, we needed to get across the highway to get it.
