Story 5

Tired of The Same Food
"A cat wants to try different food once in a while, by helping a rat stealing cheese in the kitchen.”
“Rustle, rustle”
A group of rats went out to hunt for their food. It’s late at night. A strong wind voice can be heard. The wind carried the leaves away. I wander to find some cheese, my favorite food. My name is Ben, a normal rat who lives in sewers. Nowaday, a lot of rat died. Some of them get caught in a trap, some of them dead by starvation, and some of them eaten by our fearsome enemy, cats.
I arrived at a small house. The kitchen looks awesome, I can see a lot of food there. There must be some cheese, I suppose. Then, I sneak to the back door. Silently, silently.
“Shrug , shrug!” A voicestep! Oh no, who is it? I turned around to look. It have four legs and glowing eyes.
“CAAAAAAAAAAAT!” I yelled. Before I am able to ran away, the cat grabbed my tail. I am going to meet my end. I am going to die. That’s what I think. I closed my eyes.
“Sst. Silent. I’m not going to kill you. I need your cooperation!” said the cat.
I opened my eyes. “Cooperation? Are you not going to eat me?”
“No, I get sick of rats. I want to try different taste.”
“Then, what do you want?” I asked.
“I want cheese. Your food. It looks awesome.”
Oh, how unusual. I said to myself. So , the cat need me to steal the cheese for him, because we are more experienced in stealing cheese. In exchange, the cat will not kill me and will guard me during my mission.
We have a deal, and we move silently. We enter the house via the backdoor. The door is opened, so we can enter. Snoring sounds can be heard. That seems the owner of this house all asleep.
“Hey look! I saw a cheese!” I said, pointing to the cheese in the floor.
“Blah, rats are so stupid. That’s why your kind get caught easily. No treasure can be found without effort. Look closely. That’s a trap..” said the cat.
Ooops. The cat saved my life. How weird. To be frank, this is my second time hunting for food. I am unexperienced.
“Ok rat, I will take the lead for now on.” The cat walks past me.
“Sst! I hear footsteps!” said the cat. I can see from the shadow. It has four legs. Similar to a cat body.
“DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!” The cat yelled. The dog start to chase the cat, who comes to my direction. But, as soon as the dog sees me. His face turn pale.
“RATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!” He yelled and ran away to the staircase.
“I just knew that dogs afraid of rats.” Said the cat.
“Well, who knows?” I said.
Then we arrived at the kitchen. We stole some cheese, and we have a successful mission today. The cat also satisfied with the cheese.
“This is much better than rats !” he said while eating his cheese in the way.
“Yeah, so stop hunting rats, we can hunt together next time.”
“Hm. Not a bad idea.” He said.

STORY 4


Alarm and His Kind Owner
"An alarm clock needs to wake his kind owner up, because once she late again, she will lose her job.

The sun rises from the east. A glimpse of sunlight enter the bedroom. A bright light from the morning.
“Ringggggg! Ringggggggggg!”
That sound came from me. My name is alarm. I’m a clock. I am different from  other types of clock. What makes me different? Well, guess. Of course because I can let out a loud noise that (usually) will woke people up.
Most people will. But not this one. My owner, her name is Remilia. She hardly woke up at morning. But, I really love my owner. I want to do something for her, only one simple thing, I want to find a way to wake her up in time.
I am an old alarm. Maybe if you saw me, u will throw me away, or ignore me. But this girl, kindly bought me from the junkshop, one week ago. Unlike most people do. I can see her kindness towards things. But unexpectedly, she is so hard to woke up ! Even though my noise is so irritating.
Now, the trouble begin. She got a new job recently, three days ago. Of course she went so late to her office. She told us that she was scolded by her boss. And if she late once again, the worst. She will lose her job. A usual person will hit his/her clock, or throw it away. But not for her. She let out a sigh, and talk to me.
“It’s not your fault. This is how I am. I hope I can wake up in time next morning.”
The other clock and my fellow roommates heard us. They also deeply moved by her kindness. And then, we began to discuss what to do to make her wake up in time.
“It’s easy. She always sleep late. 1 AM at best.” Said the pillow.
“Ah, yes because she can’t sleep early.” Said the wall clock.
“Then, what should we do to make her sleep early?” I asked.
Then, silence enters the room. We think for a while. And then.
“Ah! Why don’t you both advance your time for some hours, so then she may think that it’s already 1 AM, but actually it’s still 11 AM!” said the pillow to us.
“Hey, quite a good idea there.” Said the wall clock.
I also agree with him. Then we set our time 3 hours in advance.
At night. She entered the room. Squeakk. The door sound. We wonder if it is going to work.
“Ah? It’s already 1 AM. Time to sleep then.” She said , and then go to bed.
(It works!) said us silently. A few minutes later, she fell asleep. Of course she can wake up in time in the morning.
“Oh no! I am late!!!!” she yelled and rushed outside. Actually she’s not. The time displayed is 10 AM. But actually it’s still 7 AM. She’s not late. She’s too early. And our plan is successful.
Maybe we can repeat this trick everyday? And so she never late to work from now on.

Story 3

"A frightened pencil trying to escape his pencil case because of the gang of stationaries."

A dark place. A tiny light appeared from a hole on the cloth wall. Suddenly, a loud voice woke me up.

"Woke up ! Meeting start ! It's morning already !"

Apparently the sound came from Rotring, a pen, one of the strong guy from the stationary gang.
By the way, I am Faber. A weak pencil that easy to break. So they always make fun of me. The whole gang. They stand for Rotring the pen, Boxy the eraser, Copic the marker, and the boss, Uhu the glue, and me.

"Hey! Pencil! Today is your duty to clean up! Go!" Rotring yelled.

'Today' he said, but that means EVERYday. That was how I treated. The other member just laugh at me, sometimes mock me.

Furthermore, I don't know where is our owner. He never opened up our home anymore to get us. The last time is a month ago. Then suddenly a loud bang occured, and we tumbles up and down. Since that time, we never saw him again.

When I was cleaning up their mess, I suddenly think. Life in the store is better for me. I stood in the display with the other pencil. We can talk and play as much as we want. The place was bright and warm.

I must run away from this place. I don't belong here. When the gang members was busy by their own business, I tried to find a way out. Apparently, there is a small hole in the edge of the wall, which I can fit in. With a bit of rustling sound, finally I was able to escape the pencilcase.

I started to walk around. Around me is only things that was unwanted, forgotten, or not useful anymore. I wonder if I will become one of them someday. Drips of water wet my body. I stared at the sky. It was raining lightly. Sometimes I heard a loud thundering voice. Maybe it was called lightning or what so ever.

I keep walking, walking and walking. I don't know where to go. I'm so tired that I was about to fell down. Two hours later, I reach my limit. My body all wet. I fell down in a black coloured plastic bag, "TRASH" was written there.

Oh no, this is no good. I can't end up here. A distant sound of a car can be heard. I'm sure it's the garbage car. As the sound was getting closer, my consciousness started to fade away.

But suddenly, a slimy thing covered up my body. It was a glue. And I felt that I was being pulled out.

They care after all. My gangs. My friends. Then we went home together, and I was treated well from now on.

Story 2


Door of Happiness
“A man was working in the office, got a phone call, something important was waiting for him.”

A man was working in his office. The room was not bright as usual. It was raining outside. The sound of keyboard , and the sound of employees chattering can be heard in the office room. Suddenly, the man got the phone call. He answered the phone. Immediately, he grabbed his bag, his blazer, and dashed away to the first floor by the elevator. Then he quickly went to the bus stop in front of his office. The rain started to pour heavily.
The man left his bus and start to ran to a white building. He didn’t bring his umbrella. He charged into the rain. The automatic door on the building opened. He quickly moved in to the building. A lot of people stared at him. Of course, his clothes heavily soaked with water, and his breathe panting. He seems to be panicked and don’t know what to do. Later, a man in white came to him and gave him a room name. It was written [03-45].
He took the elevator, and went to the 3rd floor. The elevator opened. Silence broke in. His heart started to throb quickly. An empty corridor. No one was there, only him. Then he walked slowly. [03-45]. He stood to a door. Apparently he couldn’t go in. He was not allowed to go in there. So he wait outside the door. He looked his watch frequently.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock” the sound of clock can be heard.
He wandered around the corridor, looked outside. It was raining very hard. The sound was violent. The strong wind outside waved the white curtains outside the building. He was getting more worried and worried. Ten minutes passed away. He waited impatiently. His hand won’t stop to move. Cold, he put his hands in his pocket. He moved around and around, he expected the room to open soon.
            Two minutes later, a man in white coat, accompanied by a woman, came out from that room. He rushed to them, and asked the situation. The man in white coat explained the situation to him, and walked away. Apparently, the door is opened now. His heart was throbbing fast, he walked slowly to the door, closer, and closer. He stood in front of the door now. He slowly rotated the door handle, and stopped for a moment. Then, he rotated again slowly.
            What was waiting for him? There it was, the moment he opened the door, a woman on a bed was waiting for him. She smiled to him. Her smile was so warm that he couldn’t felt cold anymore.
            The sound of a baby crying can be heard from that room.

A Troubled Bookworm

A Troubled Bookworm
An unsociable person moved into a new town, struggling for a job to buy new books.”

There lived a boy named Koob, he is a shy and unsociable person, and a bookworm. He doesn’t interact with other people very much, or you can say he never interact with others. One day he moved to a new town, there he met with new neighbors, but, as his personality, he rather avoid them than interact with them.
He lived in a small house, where the space between houses is small. His parents was living overseas, so they just deliver a small amount of money to him to fulfill his needs.

“My money is not enough for me to buy a new book.. what must I do?” He thinks.

He thinks for awhile, and he walk out to find a job. First, he go to the restaurant and try to become a waiter. At his first day, he approach a customer, the customer looks like a pirate, wearing an eyepatch, his clothes was torn, and his leg on the table. Koob looked nervous, but he finally made it. 
He spoke : W.. Wh.. What do you want to have, sir?”

I wanccha acchuphofthea---!" said the pirate-looking customer

The customer spoke in a weird accent, so he can’t hear. He was about to ask him again, but he was too shy, and then he just go to the kitchen and leave it all to his own measurement. Koob brought a bowl of curry rice to him.

Whattsthis?Immanot orderindhese!! Yarrrr!!

Of course the customer was dissatisfied and angry, Koob is not suitable for this kind of job, so he dropped the waiter job.
In the evening, he continue his reading, almost all of his book have been read before, he only like to read a book which he hasn’t read, he doesn’t like to read a book twice.
Then in the morning he began to walk out again to find a more suitable job for him. He was applying for a business company. He’s smart, so he got accepted easily. He work well for several hours.

 But, what worse, he didn’t like to talk much, so when the meeting was held, he was really nervous. When the meeting was held, the HDR ask him to introduce himself to the boss and other employees, of course he was troubled. He was sweating so badly, and not a word came out from his mouth. Everyone was so dumbfounded, and the next day he was fired because they think he can’t talk at all.
In the end, he can’t get any money and was not able to buy any books.

“ I need to interact more.. he said to himself.
He went out , trying to greet the neighbours.
