The moment of the island sinking
Arrival at the new island
TIME fading into the sight of LOVE
Preparation and enjoyment of coffee and sunset
Huge island where all the feelings lived
Stage where the announcement is made
Cobblestone streets of the village
Island on the verge of sinking
Boat where LOVE is offered help
New island where LOVE is taken
Terrace with a view of the ocean and sunset
LOVE finds itself left behind as everyone evacuates at sinking island. Ignored and abandoned, LOVE loses hope until TIME appears and offers assistance. TIME takes LOVE to a new destination, but then disappears, leaving LOVE with KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE provides comfort, reminding LOVE of the value it holds. Together, LOVE and KNOWLEDGE find solace and appreciation in each other's company. This story highlights the importance of understanding and knowledge in finding hope and fulfillment even in the most challenging times.
(Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there was a huge island where all the feelings lived. One day, there was a small gathering, and it catches loves attention)
(Someone speaks at the microphone.)
Attention everyone, will you all lend me an ear for a moment, please (metonymy)
(Then people started to gather around the stage, including LOVE.)
Now, what is it? (asking a question with a confused look)
What is so important about this that it needs us all to gather here?!? (eagerly asking) (synecdoche)
Is it really that important that you interrupt all our businesses? (asking a question with a soft voice)
This announcement is so important because we are all in danger.
Yes, lately we noticed that the island is just slowly weakening (understatement), just like an ice cream slowly melting during the hot season (simile). and as climate change affects our island, it is slowly going down, and we all need to evacuate or find another island we can live on from now on because the island would sink in no time.
What are they meant by that???
Yes, and we all need to hurry before it's too late.
Now hurry up and pack your things; we need to evacuate as soon as possible! Time is a running river, and we must ride its current to safety (metaphor)
(All the crowds scream in a hurry)
(As the chirping of the birds slowly died (tweet! twee.. twe...), it was announced with the feeling that the island would sink)
(and the heavy cold rain started to fall)
(Everyone was as busy as a bee preparing to leave the island, while LOVE was just around the corner, still processing everything)
(a friend saw love still at the corner not moving)
Heyy!!! LOVE what are you still doing? the island would sink in no time you know. Just stand there and die!! hurry up and pack your things already!!. (irony)
(LOVE just stare at Joy shouting)
ahh!! you know what nevermind! your in your own now kid!.
I still can't believe it.
I just can't leave the island; this is where I grew up.
All my memories lie here.
I can't. I'll stay, even if the world crumbles around me! I won't leave this island (hyperbole)
(All the constructed boats left, and the only one left in the dust is LOVE)
(LOVE was downhearted by all the happenings)
and they all leave, huh? Why is it just easy for them to leave? I mean, is all that memory just nothing to them? my friends, my neighbors, and my classmates. They are all gone. They just leave, haha! nicee!! (Then a drop of tears fell down her eyes.) (irony)
(LOVE wanted to hold out until the last possible moment)
(When the island had almost sunk)
huh? what? whats happening?
oh nooo, the island's moving slowly. It's going down!! (euphemism)
Oh, no, there's no one here.
wait! I need to ask for help.
I need to leave, or else I'll die.
(LOVE decided to ask for or seek a helping hand from whoever passed by the island)
Wait, someone's approaching. I need to ask for help now!
Time seems to stretch its hand towards me, urging me to reach out and seek assistance. and I need hurry up! (personification)
Hey, help! Help! Over here! There is still someone here, caught in the bittersweet solitude of this desolate place. I need your assistance (oxymoron).
(Even with a loud voice of love seeking help, the boat still just passes her by.)
(The boat notices LOVE but refuses to help)
(And another boat just ignores her.)
I need help! The island is slowly drowning. Help!
(and love shout and shout and shout, but no one cares; they all just pass and ignore LOVE.)
(As everyone ignores LOVE, LOVE loses hope)
No one is helping me. I guess this is my faith, huh? haha funny. Well, I just need to accept it, huh? Well, that's life, haha.
(Then suddenly there was a voice that came closer and said)
Come, LOVE, let me take you.
(LOVE looked up and see someone lending a hand with a boat. LOVE was clearly confused and just had to hop on the boat)
omg thankyou! I..I don't know what I would do; I lose hope as everyone just passes by me, and I just start crying and accepting my faith. I didn't expect it. thankyou! thankyou!
(LOVE was over the moon in excitement that it forgot to ask the white-haired person where they were going)
(A few moments later, the elder lady spoke.)
We've arrived at our destination.
(looked at LOVE) This is the safest island I could find for you to stay on. (Helps Love get out of the boat safely.)
Oh, thank you for a safe ride. It was a plea...
(LOVE noticed that the boat was slowly moving. As she looked back, she saw the elder went her own way, as if nothing had happened.)
old lady!! Hey, where are you going?? Aren't you going to stay here?? hey!!?!?!?
(LOVE sight and whispers) hah!! nevermind.
(LOVE walks and looked around and says)
There was nothing here (LOVE shouted)
(moments later LOVE then heard a noise and looked at its surroundings, and saw another elder appeared)
(LOVE knew it was KNOWLEDGE)
It was TIME (KNOWLEDGE answered).
(LOVE was so curious and continue asking)
But why did TIME help me?
(KNOWLEDGE smiled a mile wide and answered.)
Because only TIME knows the value of LOVE.
(LOVE smiles as it hears what KNOWLEDGE says and just smiles as it stares at how slowly TIME fades into its sight.)
Okay, then, since you just arrived, let me take you with me so you can rest and eat.
Just in time, my tummy is already crumbling in hungriness (grr grrr grr) (auditory) (LOVE'S tummy makes a sound), and I was thirsty already.
Let's go then; my house is just near the ocean.
(When they arrived at their destination, KNOWLEDGE had already prepared LOVES foods.)
Here have some of this (he put the bread on the table).
Oh, I'm glad you asked. I'd like to have some sweet and yummy coffee, please.
Okay, then, as you wish, let me prepare it first. excuse (then KNOWLEDGE goes back to the kitchen to prepare the coffee LOVE was asking)
The scenery here on the terrace is so beautiful and such an art for my eyes. the golden color of sunset (visual), the cold and refreshing wind (thermal), and this smooth and mouth melting bread (tactile). this moment of times is so calming and then suddenly everything feels perfect as if nothing had happened.
(KNOWLEDGE hears what LOVE says and smiles.)
and add this yummy, delicious coffee I made. (gustatory)
mhmm, the inviting aroma of this coffee makes (olfactory) is such an on, it smells good and looks good.
Now let me taste it to see if it's really worth it's look.
(LOVE them take sa sip of spoon)
ohhh!! It's so yummy; it tastes good as it's looks
mhmm, (KNOWLEDGE giggles and laugh at LOVE'S reaction and respond) as you say.
(KNOWLEDGE then sit beside LOVE.)
(and they were enjoying their sweet and yummy coffee and sitting with an art view of sunset)
