The Troubles
Amina looked out of the glass window of her house. It was a dark and rainy evening of October, and her parents left about twenty minutes ago to go to Target. Apparently, they had forgotten that there wasn’t that much food left in the fridge. Amina sighed and turned away from the window when something bright-white outside caught her eye. A flashlight? Astonished, she quickly glanced around outside once again. Nothing. “How extraordinary-” she thought to herself. “A person outside, maybe? Why would anyone be outside when it was nearly dark?” “Nah. It was probably just my eyes playing tricks on me.” It wasn’t a good idea to get scared…

I’m back :)
Heyy, what’s up y’all, or whoever reads this. It’s been a couple of months, and I took a break from this blog due to technical issues and viruses, but I’m back now. How are you? The writer always needs to check in with the reader. Happy new year to you, too :)! Let’s face it – this year sucked – but always be optimistic, because 2021 might be better. About my story, “The Name Game,” I will in fact continue it, but don’t expect continuous updates and chapters. I have a life too, and I can’t spend all my time online. I hope you understand. I will soon be getting…

3rd Chapter | The Name Game | Book
Chapter 3: A new encounter Something had awakened Luna when she was asleep in the alley. A…pop? She’d heard it through her sleep, and now awake, wondered what it could be. Perhaps it was just a lone squirrel…or something more? POP! There! She’d heard it once more. Louder. She turned to look in the direction of the sound but found nothing but darkness. What had made that noise? No, who had made that noise? Another pop. Huh? Luna rubbed her eyes to make sure that she heard right. Once her vision was clear, she looked in the direction of the pop once more. Instead of just darkness, there was now a small…

15 Fun Things to do in Quarantine
Schools are just starting to let out, and it’s becoming full-on summer. One may say that the summer season and the Covid19 quarantine don’t match up. That is the completely horrible, and also depressing truth. Yes, I know. Some things to be happy of, though, could be that quarantine is ending. Not all at once, but it is. Here is a list of things you could find yourself doing in June. (while in social distancing, of course) Going on a simple bike ride could do you much more good than you’d think. Walking. Alone, with family, it doesn’t matter. Not to just get the exercise you need, but also for…

Going Outside: Yes or No?
As you know, the weather is getting better and spring is starting to take over. But does that mean it’s okay to go outside? YES! “The weather is beautiful! I must get some fresh air.” “If I keep on staying inside, I’ll die of boredom!” “Everyone else is outside, right? It won’t hurt if I go out too!” NO! “The virus is still active, right? So all the staying at home I’ve done won’t pay off if I go out now.” “Some, or all of the people outside could be infected. I don’t know for sure!” “The virus lingers in the air even at night. Totally. Not. Going. Out.” Let…

2nd Chapter | The Name Game | Book
Chapter 2: The Life No One Has In the daytime, Luna tried helplessly to make money to buy food. If she wasn’t successful enough, she’d have to look for dinner in the garbage dump in the alley. It was a very disgusting place. That day, Luna only got 46 cents, and obviously there was nothing to buy with that, except maybe a small, kid-size juice box. She bought that and sat back down in her alley, drinking the orange juice hungirly. But now it was night, and she didn’t have anything to eat for she had no more money. It was clear, her dinner would be in the trash cans.…

The Coronavirus Chronicle #3
Staying Inside We, people, tend to always keep busy on weekdays. But now, with all this drama, one can’t find a thing to do at home! Since most of our lives are normally busted with school and work, it’s hard to adapt to this kind of life. Once again, our fellow interviewees added some things that keep them occupied. Margarita, a bookworm, has said that good books are something that helps her keep busy on boring days. “It sucks me right in,” she stated. Dmitry, on the other hand, is happy to finally have some more family time with his family and also some more time to be alone. Before…

The Coronavirus Chronicle #2
Protection and Preparation Many ask, “How do I protect myself from this thing?” There are tons of answers: masks, staying home, washing hands…etc. Lots wear masks, but is that really helpful? Again, two people had different perspectives. Margarita said,”No, you don’t need to wear masks, we’re already staying home!” That’s very true, since pretty much the whole world is on lockdown right now. No one is really going out except for grocery stores, hospitals, etc. Basically all the things you need. Dmitry, however, answered differently. “The proper mask,” he states, “also called N95/P95 class mask, reduces risks. But it looks scary and it needs change every 2-3 hours in order…
