I would not venture to tote my emotions if reveal the truth myself. I was indeed too petrified. However, the fear did not stop myself from overthinking of Lulu. I was aware that the anxiety would take over my health if I let this go on. Therefore, I decided to make a phone call upon Alice.         "Ali, are you busy?"         "No, I literally have nothing to do. What's up?"         "I'm thinking if you could help me with something. Can you come over my place?"         "On it. I'll be there in five."         As soon as Alice appeared on the scene, I brought her to my room.         "So what's the matter?" Asked Alice with curiosity. ...

Feeling too staggered, I lifted my hand and asked Mr. Smith's assent to go to the toilet. I quietly shoved Lulu's diary that I brought to school under my pullover. Forasmuch as no soul saw the journal, I continued making my way out of the class to the restroom.          I failed to hold my idiosyncrasy to discover more of the journal and here I was; sitting on the toilet seat, on the verge of opening the book. Without further delay, I continued where I left off. 22nd June 2009 Omg, guess what? No, you have to guess. Wrong!  Dean asked me to be his ...

Disclaimer: This story is inspired by Charles Causley's poetry; What Has Happened To Lulu? and Sahira S.'s I Have Found Lulu.         I found myself bewildering again. Eleven years had passed since the death of Lulu. Though I was only at the age of six at the time, the scenes that my eyes witnessed were still vivid in my core memory. Till now and then, I still wondered the ground of Lulu's actions. Aside from my thoughts, mother often refused to face my questions for every time I asked about Lulu.          We were finishing dinner at the dining table, quietly. Mother looked like she was deep in her galaxy of thoughts like how I was a minute ago.         "How was your day, mother?" I disturbed the silence.         "Fine," her head did not shift a slight. Her eyes were locked to the yet unfinished meal. My wonder wandered off to her understanding of my concern towards her. I wish ...

I         He was finally conscious after spending half of the night snoring under the air conditioner. Phoenix blinked his heavy eyes a few times to the ray of sunlight that was waking him up from slumber. From lying down, Phoenix changed his position to sitting in the comforting bed. His eyes were like a predator's eyes- scanning every corner of the unknown room. His confused mind pondered where on Earth he was. After minutes of solving the puzzles, Phoenix finally remembered what happened last night. Getting drunk in the nightclub for the seventh time in the month was not the brightest idea.

Assalammualaikum and hello everyone.  We all know what is going on all over the world- about how terrorists Muslims are, how bad Islam is. I mean, wow we are the worst until we don't deserve to live in any country! Of course, the Zionists who attack innocent citizens and children in Palestine deserve to live in the country! And of course, the New Zealanders who killed Muslims in the mosque are kind! Only Muslims are bad in this whole wide world! (Sorry, I just can't help being sarcastic.) Fortunately, I noticed that from time to time, netizens tend to open their eyes and accept all kinds of people just the way there are- especially Muslims. This makes me feel so relieved.
