I'm a computer programmer by day, writer by night. I started writing at a very young age, but I never pursued it until recently.

Week-end

I wake up groggy from the lack of sleep the night before, I open my laptop while sipping my coffee getting ready to work. I smile, turns out it's Saturday!

Challenge
Pearls
A sentence you always wanted to hear. Be it for you from someone (family/friends/pet etc) or anything that is not really approved in this world. Just anything which you seek to hear. Take it deep or funny! (not necessary that it has to be 15 words. Even 3 lettered "i love you" would work but to fill the word limit, do it alright!

Letters to me

At times you'll make mistakes, you'll fall apart, you'll lose yourself, but you'll be alright.

Challenge
Very Short Story
Write about whatever you want. No swearing. I only made it up to 50 words because I don't know how to make a story that short so I want to see what you can do.

The end.

Looking in your eyes I re-live all of our moments. To think we fell in love so long ago... Our wedding, our kids', our kids' weddings. How lucky was I to have spent all this time with you? Alas, every story must inevitably come to an end. Goodbye, my love.

Challenge
Endless Sleep
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?? Where do you go when you fall asleep. Any style of writing permitted.

It was always you

I yearn for those moments when I fall to sleep. I wake up in a place, where you are still here. Perhaps it is my soul visiting other worlds'. At least I entertain the idea in my mind. Though when I wake, I find my arms begging to hold you. If only I could rest for a few more minutes...

Challenge
what saved you?

My savior

They stood there waiting. I could not quite see their face clearly, though I felt if I could reach them I would be saved. Running towards them begging them to reach out and pull me from the abyss. Why did they refuse to help? Could they not see me struggling in front of them? I cried out and heard no response, I cried out tears, but still found no answer. I broke down to my knees and begged, but still, they did not budge. I cried until my cries died down and gave way to silence. It was then when I could not stand my despair any longer that I brought myself to my feet. Then in the distance, the figure's face lit up and I could see a smile. It was me! I was looking at myself, the only one who could save me.

Words to live by

"To find out who you truly are, you must first step out of the world you know"

Can't find the original source, but I believe it comes from the anime "shokugeki no soma"

Self-love

While searching for love, I came across you, and when I gazed into the mirror, I noticed you were the same as you had always been, except this time you were beaming.
