READER DESCRIPTION IS ADVISED] ——“EW! What on earth are they doing?”“These are two dudes right? I bet their parents are regretting their decision to give birth to them!” “They must be CANCELLED from our world. This is a disgrace!” “”Travis quietly read the comments on a video he had just watched. His heart sank into the depths of his stomach, breaking more whilst his hands began to tremble. He slowly zipped his pants and leaned back on his chair while releasing a depressed sigh that lingered in the air. His eyelids trembled while hiding his tears away back into his eyes. He felt a tight knot within the depths of his stomach and he could not breathe. His hands kept shaking until he tossed the phone on his bed. His chest tightened as he struggled to get air into his lungs. Thunder roared somewhere between the
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days The Less A Mind Knows!
Right there, the blushing sun threw and washed itself all over his pale skin, sucking all the small energy that was last left inside of him. He exhaled air through his clenched teeth and let his eyes wander on the azure sky, dotted by a huge family of fluffy clouds that helplessly danced as if their “lives” depended on it. Does the sun have a life? That was the question Travis always asked himself and his answer was, “Yes” — a ‘yes’ filled with doubt but that was not the problem. The boy was quietly sitting by a crocked bush of white roses while his eyes tried to catch a glimpse of the red eye, but of course, that was not an easy job. From the red eye, his eyes moved and followed the nearest beams that mightily blew their kisses on everything they touched. Tilting his head to his right, Travis’s eyes slightly protruded with surprise while staring at the little flowers that gently swirled with the gentle breeze, clearly flirting with each other. The boy smirked and shook his head. H

[IF IT IS LOVE, I AM WILLING TO FORGET AND FEED ON THIS FOREIGN, SWEET EMOTION. SO STRANGE BUT LET ME LINGER FOR A MOMENT]Cars whisked past David, rudely making his heart tremble deeper into an abyss of fear that strangled him until he could not breathe. Shameless! Fear traveled through his veins, mercilessly poisoning them. David gritted his teeth and looked up in a silent prayer, his hands shuddering as if they had just come out of ice. His eyelids were trembling as the wind mischievously bit onto his skin, leaving its kisses everywhere, and making him shudder. He could feel his legs working, each was numb but of course, it was not because of the cold. The boy was simply terrified, and his heart ensured to remind him of this, every second he told himself that everything was ‘okay’. He paced back and forth on the pavement while he permitted his brain to be cluttered by thoughts and a series of unending questions that lacked answers. His eyes impatiently followed the cars whisk pas

[THIS PLACE IS NOT MY HOME!]The rosy sun spread its wings that stretched far in the sky, allowing its beams stealthily fall onto the boy’s figure but unfortunately his skin remained cold and pale. “My…my heart aches so much…why? I thought…I won over it!” Travis silently said to himself while his heart violently hit against the unsteady walls of his chest. His eyes glistened with tears, but never did they make an escape for it, not that they promised they wouldn’t. His eyes lazily fell onto David’s figure and watched him as he spoke; surprisingly, he could not understand the words flowing out of his lips. He frowned and did not realize that his lips and the back of his throat were dry. “Travis, are you okay?” In a whisper, David called out to him, but Travis’s ears were concentrated on only one sound, and that was his unruly heart that was hissing loudly in the depths of his ears. Every inch of his body was shivering like a signal flame held up high. His forehead frowned deeply as b
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days PROLOGUE!
MEMORIES: BITTER AND SWEET! "Only six years…that's what we agreed on! Six years! Or were they too much for you to handle?" A husky, booming voice that, belonging to Travis reverberated across the spacious room with a query that sent chills to paste themselves onto the figure of a man who was standing five minutes away from him. "You failed to keep your promise…!" Travis blurted with a voice that was cracking up with emotions. He aired the words with great difficulty whilst his dewy eyes carefully watched the face of the man in front of him harden with coldness. "What did I do to receive this kind of treatment from you? Does it not matter how long I waited?" Travis questioned in a brittle voice as soon as he took timid steps towards the man's direction— a man who did not dare to soften his face, rather he put on a face that lacked emotions and warmness. Slowly but surely, the man turned his features, together with his figure away from the saddened Travis that was already weeping.
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days An intruder in my world!
Who are you? [8 January 2018]Number of days drifted off in just a blink of an eye since the terrible incident that evidently made Travis to welcome a new year with a heart that was sunk by a load of gloomy emotions. After almost two years, he found himself sitting behind a school desk, where a bunch of books were looking at him with nothing but mockery. School— according to him, it was a place that was going to make his life a living hell. He knew that it did not matter how hard he had to rough it in— eventually, he'd have to live a lie and entangle himself to the outside world— which was something he was against. He knew that he had a choice to get up and walk away but his 'cruel' heart had always reminded him, on many occasions, that he had once imprinted a promise into his grandmother's 'weak' heart— a promise he dared not to break. It was the second Monday of 2018 and the morning was not different from the other mornings. Leaning his head on the palm of his hand, Travis's e
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days His beautiful eyes
[ Five Days After 31 December 2017] —–DAVID CHWE"Your father must have explained the consequences of repeating your silly mistakes, I reckon?" A voice that waved with clamour left a question hanging in the air, leaving echoes of peril to linger across the limo. It was dark inside— the luxurious car was bombarded by smoke from the cigar that was exhaled by an individual who sat in the darkest corner. His deep, life-threatening voice sent immediate shivers that carried electricity, throughout the system of David who flinched at the vibrations of his voice. There— David sat ten seconds away from the unknown individual, where the one bulb was illuminating fear as it caressed his veins. He was visibly shaking like a leaf, his whole body was covered in sweat. The unknown man behind the shadows made a four with his legs shortly after throwing out peals of guffaws that further influenced aghast to envelope itself on David's figure. DAVID— the only thing he'd do was to nod whenever thro
The Brightest Shadow: Teenage Days Remember me?
But I Saw Him!—–TRAVIS PARK"I'm…I know that it may be early, but since you asked, you failed your first mathematical test and this brings down your percentage points!" The tiny, sensitive organ began to pound strongly and steadily, against Travis's chest. Words scattered across his head, influencing a headache to take over instead. His eyes widened— he felt like everything was floating as if he were on a ship that was carried away by a strong current. Hair on every part of his body stood up, gearing up to run away, if possible. His dilated eyes with fear, mixed with confusion, only darted around from one place to another, as if searching for something. That was it. That was how he remembered yesterday when Mrs Lee broke the news to him— news that carried evilness that paralyzed his soul. Those dreadful words hid in the core of his wonderland, preventing him from entering inside. They played again in his head for the millionth time now, discouraging him from thinking of anythin
