Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 1 - The way things are
I woke up one night... For... No particular reason... I had a bad dream but as soon as I opened my eyes I can't remember what it was about. I look around as I lay in bed and I feel that Nikki is next to me. Asleep... As I look down, I noticed she has...
Gortoz 'A Ran - ch 3 - Twinkling bright dots...
That evening, I did what I always did every night. I never had the chance to say goodbye to my parents, my little brother and the rest of my relatives... I wasn't reunited with them, so I assumed that they didn't make it alive... And I miss them. Even...
Mother of two
**Someone once asked me what I would do if I could start my life all over again. But I had no honest answer the day that question was asked. I suppose that depends whether or not I can restart my life with all the knowledge I have now. And even though...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 12 - A rude wake up call...
'Get in the car.' I did what Simon told me to do. And well, by the looks on his face, it wasn't really a smart thing not to do what he said... He got behind the steering wheel and slammed the door of his car while he puts the key in the ignition. I...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 4 - "The best friend I've ever had"...
Ever since that day, Randy and his friends stopped bullying us. In fact, a lot of kids in the neighborhood left us alone, so we could do whatever we wanted. Blain and I became more confident about ourselves while we were always minding our own business...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 10 - "With lead in my feet..."
Blain and I saw each other lesser and lesser ever since. Not because of the things that happened, but because Blain started to live his own life with his own friends. Whenever we were seeing each other, we were close friends like we've always been, as...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 37 - Never too late...
I couldn't have planned it better myself. Terry stayed for the entire weekend, even on Sunday. We had a week off from college. Seeing as Catherine and Simon wouldn't return from their vacation for another one and a half week, he stayed over at my place...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 11 - A valuable lesson...
The ride home was anything but relaxing for me. I thought things over and everything my grandmother told me seemed to make sense. That it's not a wrong thing. It's not and I know that, but it's a lot harder to live with, especially when people around...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 16 - A nudge in the right direction
And uh... Yeah... That's uh... That's where the diary ended. I flipped the page of my old diary to see if there was anything else, but the rest were all blank pages. So many memories came by while I was reading it... Memories I'd rather have...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 22 - "Faith"...
Each and every time I closed my eyes, I could see it. Each time I closed my eyes, I could feel it. I could hear it... Feeling the cold wind going over my back as I walked... I remember each scent all too well... The whole refugee camp was struck with...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 28 - Promising prospects...
For the rest of the week, Terry and I have been seeing each other during lunch. And to me, it felt as if the more I spend time with him, the more I started to like him... I didn't know what it was about him... He's a friend of Blain so it didn't really...
Gortoz 'A Ran - Ch 33 - "My sense of humour..."
'Wake up, sleepyhead, breakfast is ready!' 'Mwhuh....' 'Come on, get up! We've got so much to do today!' I'll never get used to that sweet tone of Catherine's voice so early in the morning, especially on a Saturday morning... It's like an angel is...
