The Case - Chapter Four

Chapter Four:

Chris couldn't believe it.

Peter was dead. His only brother was dead. The burial was quick... a few friends and well-wishers came. Some officers also came to pay their respects.

Chris sat with his parents, who were too shocked to say anything. He watched as his mother wept, and tried to avoid his father's eyes. No one said a word, and just the priest's voice was heard.

The Square Watermelon

Japanese grocery stores had a problem. They are much smaller than shops in the USA and therefore don’t have room to waste. Watermelons, big and round, wasted a lot of space. Most people would simply tell the grocery stores that watermelons grow round and there is nothing that can be done about it.

That is how majority of people would respond. But some Japanese farmers took a different approach. If the supermarkets wanted a square watermelon, they asked themselves, ‘How can we provide one?’ It wasn’t long before they invented the square watermelon.

The solution to the problem of round watermelons was not to solve as the farmers did not assume it was impossible  – and simply asked how it could be done.

They found out that if you put the watermelon in a square box when they are growing, the watermelon will take on the shape of the box – and grow into a square fruit.

The Case - Chapter Three

Chapter Three:

Chris shut the door almost as quickly as he opened it. They both heard the front door burst open, and they were in the kitchen. Bullets flew everywhere, ricocheting all over the place.

"Uhm ... open the drawers", Chris stammered, while crouching.

"We're in a freaking kitchen, be damn specific!", Jake yelled.

"The one near the dish washer, I keep two tranq guns there".

"Why the hell do you keep guns where you cook", Jake said, while handing him one.

"Just shut up and let's go"

Time understands Love

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

The Case - Chapter Two

Chapter Two:

The leader's body laid lifeless on the ground, and in an instant the other three turned around with their weapons facing the streets, backing Chris and Jake.

They both lunged at two of the thugs, simultaneously locking each into a sleeper hold, knocking them out cold and dispossessing them of their guns. One was left staring in utter confusion. Chris aimed his gun and took the safety off.

"Seems the tables have turned my dear friend", Chris said.

"...I think he just peed his pants", said Jake.

The Case - Chapter One

Chapter One:

"Mehn!! ...I ain't never seen a dull day like this, Chris" said officer Jake.

"Hand me that gun" said officer Chris.

"You wanna shoot yourself, right?"

"You know me so well".

Chris and Jake had been best friends since kindergarten, and even their parents still saw each other in their old ages. They had both entered the Police Academy at the Washington district - and after two years of cleaning guns and polishing shoes of D.A.'s, they got into the force, and had been looking for some "real action" ever since.

No Charge For Love

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups, and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard.

The performance

This is a story said to have happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy’s hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Spotlight 4 - Tem Works

Fabulous.

That's a starting adjective for the brand we've got in our spotlight today. 'Tem Works'.

Not many things in the world can boast of "Fabulous". Everything is either cool, or sexy, flashy, new, vintage or some other lately trending word for the moment. It seems there's nothing out there that combines them all....

But look at these.

Ode to infatuation...

By Seshie
 
Is this what infatuation feels like? It is heaven, and it is agony. It is beauty. It is joy. It is discovery.

And it feels SO good! Thank God for emotions, yah? :)

I feel it whenever I see his face… The way his expressions start in his eyes and radiate to the rest of his face – it is like seeing the transmission of signals from his brain, when the eyes react, through the nerves to the muscles of facial expression.
