  • Super Short Story (14): Code

    Updated: 2012-08-27 19:44:53
    He didn’t like it that many books seem to be coded, heavily laden with technical and cultural terms. It made him feel inadequate, although he took some comfort that it means many writers are the inadequate too. It was only half his fault that he couldn’t understand them? The other half must be theirs?

  • Super Short Story (13): Doppelgänger

    Updated: 2012-08-27 19:36:54
    They say when you see yourself, it is time to die. But there is another way to see yourself, and another way to die - when you see yourself so clearly by reflection, that you decide to change for the better - to be reborn, without actual death.

  • Super Short Story (12): Handicap

    Updated: 2012-08-27 19:23:11
    His blindness was no longer a weakness; but a strength, not because he overcame it, but because he accepted that he couldn’t, and yet made do best he can. It is a strength because even most who are not blind cannot accept such blindness, be it his or potentially theirs. They are the handicapped ones.

    Updated: 2012-08-27 19:10:07

  • Super Short Story (9): Book Towers

    Updated: 2012-08-27 19:01:01
    His towering stacks of books all over the room was a sign of his great knowledge. But the toppling of them onto him, almost drowning him in a sea of words was a sign of his great lack of wisdom. He had enough knowledge for application but not enough wisdom to apply them - not [...]

  • Super Short Story (8): Healer

    Updated: 2012-08-27 18:54:29
    Forgetting that death is eventual, that it can come all too sudden, he was contented that he was ‘completely healed’, that he had come across a ‘masterful’ healer, who could not even heal his own terminal ‘illness’ of ‘life’.

  • Super Short Story (7): Nudity

    Updated: 2012-08-27 18:48:15
    She thought the idea of nudity was arbitrary and absurd. A girl who bares her top is considered naked, while a guy who bares his not really naked. Who decides who is more naked?

    Updated: 2012-08-27 18:36:44

    Updated: 2012-08-27 18:27:09
    He wrote on the photograph he snapped: ‘Wished I was there’, for he was so occupied with capturing the perfect shot, that he didn’t really immerse in the scenery beyond the viewfinder.

    Updated: 2012-08-27 08:04:59
    He wanted a good life, but had forgotten that he had to be a good person first - not just to himself, but to others’ lives too. If not, of what good and how good could his life be?

  • Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Thoughts

    Updated: 2012-08-23 08:08:46
    Thought after watching ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’: How do you really trust anyone, including yourself? If you are completely trustworthy, why are you not enlightened yet, totally aligned with truth? Obviously, there must be self-deceit going on to some extent! How do you really trust anyone, including others, who reveal information under torture? Is it [...]
