Murakami Stories

Morika has always felt slightly out of step with the world around her. When an unexpected encounter draws her into a reality lit by two moons, she discovers a place both strange and familiar, where old stories linger beneath everyday life and nothing is quite what it seems. Far from home, she meets people whose paths have been shaped by secrets, longing, and choices they cannot undo. Among them is Kenshō, a young man searching for a place where he truly belongs. As their journeys become intertwined, Morika is forced to question what connects people across worlds and what remains when everything familiar is left behind. Inspired by works of Haruki Murakami

"Areas of knowledge are most useful in combination with each other." Discuss this claim with reference to two areas of knowledge." ~~~ This collection of short stories was completed by a few friends and myself in response to an assignment in our theory of knowledge class. We were really proud of it and therefore wanted to share. All four of us wrote two stories in different chapters. This is inspired by Haruki Murakami's After the Quake. Enjoy.

Un sogno dentro a un incubo

My journey to find the magics of Murakami

Working backwards from my diary. A time skip? Well A-level results have come out and for some the ambiguity of the future scares us. Not getting what you wanted is painfully irritating. Not getting what you want. Failure?

A short story inspired by Murakami's 'The second bakery attack'. A backstory being told in the perspective of the girl who works at Mcdonald's. Stuck in a boring life which things are always done in the same way. Repetitive, usual, and pattern are words that she's quite familiar with. She just wishes that something exciting would happen. This story is not a sequel to 'The second bakery attack'. It's just a story I personally came up with after reading several of Murakami's stories. P.S. Sorry it's crappy.

Just a collection of (kinda) short works, some in prose, some in verse, who knows what else there will be.

[Age 15] Throughout my early high school years, I encountered a lot of negative/existential thoughts as they came with adolescence. Quite often I would question my purpose and the systemic flaws that occurred around me, primarily with the schooling system and how social hierarchies formed within them. "Little things" is a piece that I wrote in the middle of a cold October night in 2016. My younger self utilized the page to navigate the topic of a meaningful life. Growing up in an immigrant household and a middle-class community with a decent Asian population, I had often felt inadequate compared to my peers in terms of intelligence and social standing. As my peers took upper-level classes, got high scores, and took on positions within the science and debate teams, it was hard for me to catch up and as a result, I felt deeply insecure in the first few years of high school. I was shunned from the Asian community for not being smart enough and occasionally some would degrade my intelligence as an "Asian". Suffering from the Asian model minority myth was traumatizing but it helped me grow to be where I wanted to be. Although these experiences put me through a lot of mental anguish, they helped shape my values and outlook in life. I realized that I although I was not overly competitive with grades and studying as hard as I should have, I discovered and refined a lot of my personal talents such as art, music, dance, and the art of introspection. I also built many meaningful relationships that money cannot buy. All in all, I realized that proactively finding meaning in everything, even the little things, will fill one's life with vibrant colors and indescribable joy.
