[Short Story] Truth in Shadows

The sun smiled brightly that morning. I took my stuff and prepared myself to depart to the city, like usual. Swords, twin guns, ammunitions, all inside my backpack. Yes, I was one of the government finest intelligence squad members. ”Brother! Where are you going?" My little brother asked. He's just around the age of early teen, approached me. "Asher, your big brother is going to work like usual, your father and mother are old, and it's my duty to help them in funding the family. I am returning their favor"  "But big bro-"  "don't worry, I will be back early today." I replied to him. I entered Asher's parents room, and kissed their hands before I left to work at the intel. I came to the intel base, 2 hours later than usual, and my commanding officer scolded me and punished me with a hundred of sit ups and push ups. Then, I was fired, as this was the third time I was late, and ordered to return home. However, on the road, a man halted my...

[Short Story] Song of End

I opened the little box left inside my locker today. Inside it, I saw a small note with his hand writing, "I'm sorry." I sighed. This is the forty time he gave me a sorry letter. Yeah, he was my boyfriend. He was. I still couldn't forgive that jerk. He swore the first day he admitted his feeling before me, that he vowed to never betray me, and now he betrayed me. He went with another girl and others confirmed the thought of mine that he abandoned me. He truly abandoned me. "You know, no matter how much you try, you will not sever the chains of demise you set." I said in a weak voice. My heart is still crushed by the truth. I hate him, to the depths of my soul. "I'm enough of running away." I heard a voice behind me. His voice, the voice I used to love and adore, the voice I used to seek for. Now, it's the voice I hated the most. I looked back, to meet his blue eyes. "Satisfied already by betraying me?" I said. "No, I truly be...

[Short Story] Blood of Miscommunication

"What are you doing?" Sayna asked me in anger. I looked at her eyes, which is filled with hatred. "Are you mad, that I took away your precious things in this life?" I replied. Sayna didn't reply, but her dagger that she held at her right hand moved toward my throat as she grabbed my neck. "Don't move," she says. I coughed, then laughed. "I see, you finally understand. I will tell you then," I said. I coughed, and she released my neck. My body fell to the ground with heavy force. I coughed again, then said, "I actually used to have faith in everyone, but that day, I lost everything, except Vengeance." "Why Dath, why would you do all this. You betrayed Ayka's love to you, you betrayed Zarto's trust to you, and the rest of us that have faith in you. Then.... Then... You abandoned them all!" Sayna said in her rage, with tears shed from her eyes. "I have no... Regret... Nor remorse... You all betrayed me... Bef...
