Brightside Stories

3rd short story by Alex Brightside. Produced by Brightside Publishing. What if there was a creature, that's some defence, and offence, was to not be seen, or heard, or detected in anyway?

You may spend your childhood and teenage years reading a textbook, but if you think that your world revolves around the textbook, you're wrong. School equals training, and the world is the battleground. Do you really have to be academically smart to be successful? Or will you exchange those moments of stressing yourself to be in the Top 3 of the class and focus on honing the skills that you can use in the real world after you graduate?

After World War Three, the United States of America fell apart and the United States took its place. They say this is because America failed, but only a select few know what is behind the lies of the history books. Every year the Clash takes place, an event where sixteen children from sixteen different dependencies go and try to conquer their fear. Normally no one is able to do this. If you do manage to become stronger than your fear, you will have the chance of a lifetime to move up in social status. The country is ruled by President Crimson, grandson of the famous President Rey Crimson. He dictates with an iron fist and no one gets away with anything. Stella, a snarky, responsible, loving, stubborn, and loud girl, is the only exception to this. Not only does she despise the people from Dependency 1, where the government lies and Clash is heald, but, she is disliked by them for a reason unknown to her. Because of this, at the age of fourteen, she is forced to go into the Clash, the one place she never wants to go. People say that the two weeks leading up to the Clash are the best you will ever experience, but for Stella, they are anything but that. She experiences lots of bumps and burses over the fourteen days and even worse than bumps and bruises-small talk with strangers. And what happens when she discovers that her greatest fear means the death of either her or those she holds closest to her heart.

Von Dennings have to suck-up the fact that: First, his bestfriend is doing her "girlfriend". Second, her "girlfriend" might be really inlove with his bestfriend. Third, he have to suffer the consequences of leaving His "girlfriend" behind. Tris Porter said she's happy now after her ex boyfriend flew to Ireland without saying Good bye. It's nice having Kiev around. She felt like he saved her and it's her responsibility to save him in amids of self destruction. Did she found true love or Did she just found Von again? Is love sweeter the second time around or second love is sweeter than her first love?

I wrote this in 2009... Wow, that was forever ago...

There's a point in our life where we do not have any idea of how our life went. And, at the time I drafted this poem, it was 2 in the morning. I was thinking, was there anything I did in the past that made the universe experience me this consequence. I mean, this has been going on a year or two now and it gets tougher and tougher everyday. I've been blue way before my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I never had an idea that she has this since she told me that there was a wound already under her left duct. She told me that, it started as a simple dimple-marble-like under it and she did not paid attention much to it. To cut the story short, that simple dimple-marble-like under her duct, progressed in to cancer. Now, I resigned from my work just to take care of her in view to a fact that her siblings has so much work to do in their life, and I undertand them. I went home with a long-face due to a lot of debts I left with my colleagues and friends. My sallary is no longer enough to suffice the needs of my mom, I had to borrow money to buy her medications. Considering that I am no longer employed, I can not think of ways to pay all my debts. I get depressed whenever I think of it.
