Summary of the eye (a story about a girl fighting for freedom)
(A girl who woke up losing her short-term memories meets a boy whom she's never met. The last thing the girl remembers was a haunting scream and she is aught to find the answers behind it. The boy tags along with her and helps her along her journey to find the answers. Halfway through their journey she almost gives up and but she decided that she wouldn't allow herself to be haunted by such memories without knowing its starting point. She feels confinement within but cannot figure out the truth. Near the end, the girl nearly sacrifices her life for the boy only to find out the horrific truth)
I can’t hear my voice. I can feel the vibration violently ripping my vocal cords apart and feel my heart pounding on my chest. My body is aching from running; I can’t feel my legs moving, but I seem to be jogging up and down. I feel a monstrous rumble that gradually strengthens, lifting every particle of dust off the ground, streaming over the top of my head.
I black out.
The smell of damp fabric envelopes the atmosphere around me. I slowly lift my eyelids, It was difficult as if I was crying for the whole night and my lids were glued together from the solidified tears. Before I could figure out where I was, I make out a figure leaning closer towards me. It was skinny and pale, topped with a head full of forest green hair. I lifted my elbow and backward bent my forearm to attack the stranger as a reflex, but a sharp pain.
It was a boy. He had green freckles and green eyes. He wore a green vest and muddy green khakis shorts.
“Here, hold my hand.”
His name was Forester.
“Whats your name…Mr. Green?” I mumbled as I rejected his offering hand and managed to sit up on my own.
“Excuse you… My name is Forester. People usually call me Forest.”
He turned around and walked towards what seemed like the kitchen.
I lifted the rough blankets off my thighs and attempted to get off the wooden block that I lied on. My muscles spasmed each time I tensed my leg and my spine shivered as I straighten it like thousands of needles were poking my nerves.
I don't remember anything.
I close my eyes to gather the last piece of information I can find in my mind from before my blackout. For a few seconds, nothing came up other than a severe ache in the back of my head. Suddenly, the sound of a horrendous scream following by a monstrous howl pierced through my brain. I couldn't make out where the sound came from nor how I remember it, but the sound quietly lingers in the back of my brain and still haunts me to this day.
I stand up from the bed and slid my feet inside my leather shoes. I notice the usual hole that makes my little toe stick out is sown. Forest still in the kitchen, noises of knife chopping echoed into the room where I painfully sat.
“Why I’m I here…” I asked accusingly.
“You were about to make a very bad decision and I pulled you out of it. You should consider thanking me.” He replied, “Oh ya, I never got to get your name.”
“What was I doing? Why does the back of my head hurt so much…I can’t remember anything…” I replied, avoiding his question wondering about my name.
“I found you lying on the side of the street. But don't worry, you were only dehydrated and fainted. The pain on the back of your head is just a cut from when you fell on your back. I stitched it up for you. Nothing to worry about.” He says as he hands me a slice of green coloured bread. “Eat up.”
I reached my hand behind my neck and felt a gauze pad taped on the spot that stung.
I turn and reached for the window to unravel the curtains. A streak of strong light shone through, it was multi coloured and overwhelming. I once again ignore the offering of his bread and impulsively stands up and runs towards the door.
“AHHH!” I shouted from the uncontrollable pain from my spine and the back of my head. I reach behind to find stitches traveling from the back of my neck all the way down to my tailbone.
“Stay there, it's not safe for you to travel anywhere in this condition,” Forest said.

HEART OF OCEANO
A long long time ago. There was a clear fish the size of the leaf of a pine tree. She lived in the tropicals ocean for thousands of years. She was so small that there were no predators wished to consume her. Although she was lucky for the god given protection, she was lonely because no one could ever notice her. The waves were her only friends. She sailed beyond the ocean line in the morning, and shuttled through anemones at night. She was clueless, ambitious, and fearless. She believed that she was unstoppable. Never once had she left the tropical reef bubbled her from danger, she decided to ride the waves when the sun slept and explore the rest of the pacific. The kind waves and soft wind warned her about the decision, but she was stubborn. So there she was, the tiny clear fish escalated through the seashells and weeds, and farewelled to the creamy sand and fluffy algae. As she reached the border of the reef after thirty three days and nights, an unfamiliar sight occurred in front of her eyes. The wave that carried her transformed attitude and fought the storm with rage. Magnificent streaks of light bolted into the ocean vigorously, slitting the pacific in pieces. The static appearance of the lighting slashed before her round and glistening eyes. The outline of the black clouds are illuminated by the purple light and distorted by the rumble of thunder. Standing on the other side of the reef, still protected by the warmth of tropical waters, the symphony of frightening events in front of her only looked like an eye-opening circus. Her eyes locked on the purple lightning that stroke again as she slowly swam forward, the water couldn't hold her back. Before she could realize, the force of the ocean yanked her tiny body into the storm. She was startled by the sudden loss of balance and inability to see through the thick salt waters. Swiftly, an ever powerful rumble rose up from below and pushed the waterline up into the clouds. The clear little fish looked down into the dark and made out a enormous figure. As the figure opened its jaw, the surface of the ocean sunk into the bottom, creating a tornado. Screaming at the top of her lungs, the clueless yet ambitious little clear fish glanced at the realm of tropical peacefulness one last time before she was devoured with millions of other fearless, yet powerless creatures that came out exploring in the cruel night. A miniature being looking for freedom in the night of reality.
GRILLED PORK BELLY
The tale comes from the cabin 300 feet from the end point of the never-ending river.
He did not expect to see signs of living in this land.
Traveling with only his backpack and a flask on,
he wanted to find his answer to his question, but just before he succeeded, he was distracted by the column of smoke that rose thin and straight from the humongous cabin chimney.
He wanted to avoid it and continue to his journey, but the tempting smell of grilled pork belly vigorously tore his empty stomach apart.
He was so close yet so far.
He walked to the feet of the 30 feet tall wooden door and knocked.
There was no response.
He found a crack in the bottom of the opposite side of the door and stepped in.
Inside was a pot boiling on the stove with smoke rising up in the air.
A pair of neatly set up utensils twice the size of himself on a gigantic table, with a chair, tucked underneath.
On top of the plate smelled like an appetizing serving of meat, he could see steam rising up in the air from the table.
He took out a rope in his backpack and hooked it on the chair, climbing up to his lunch.
Suddenly, the table shook like an earthquake.
The utensils vibrated, clicking aggressively with the ceramic plate.
A gigantic shadow imprinted on the door, slowly increasing in size as the footsteps increases in volume.
He panicked and his rope detached and fell heavily onto the ground.
His leg was folded oddly backward and his neck rolled across the room.
Around his body was the wooden floor decorated with the colour of roses.
It was just the footsteps of the giant owner
Who had just woken up from a nap and ready for his lunch
The gentle giant hasn’t had visitors in a while, and he had always dreamed of sharing a meal with the so-called “humans.”
He cooked the meat just right for a human’s appetite,
so that when the time comes he’ll be able to enjoy a meal with his mini visitors.
He noticed the little head faced down beside his kitchen counter and sighed.
Not once had he successfully welcomed a visitor since he cooked this dish 12 years ago.
He pulled the chair out from beneath the table and sat quietly.
Legend has it that he never moved an inch ever since
The giant stayed in the exact same position waiting for his visitors to arrive
He was afraid to breathe too loudly, He was afraid that if he wasn’t careful enough, another one of his visitors will end up in the wooden bin beside the kitchen counter.
Another one of the heads of the explorers who wanted answers to their questions from the end point of the never-ending river.

Idea pitch
The idea our group came up with was the idea of intimacy with the symbol of curtains. The story idea I came up with is about a girl who goes to her grandma’s house and realizes the different rooms in her house hangs different thickness and colour of curtains. For example, the tea and snack room has a thin mesh white curtain that is so light the wind can easily move it, and the book room consisting of a huge shelf and endless secrets has a very thick brown curtain that the grandchild cannot move without assistance, and granny’s bedroom where she has never even entered The story is about the child trying to figure out and goes on an adventure to explore the rooms and stumbles upon her grandma’s bedroom when her grandma is out to buy groceries and experiences a series of events.
Petrarchan sonnet
The smell of nail polish fills the room,
the girl sits impatiently at her chair.
She brushes her lashes and combs her hair
staring out the window which seems grey and gloom.
The roses outside grows lively and bloom
yet always seemed to have fatigued Blaire.
She looked divine, gentle and fair,
yet had a heart of the night of doom

Golden sunlight from the sunset scans my white shelf gently. On the very top layer of the shelf consists of a pile of garbage. Dust lays on the unevenly stacked books ranging from innocent love stories to the complete series of Percy Jacksons. Perfume samples once received as gifts but never touched since I placed it not the shelf has lost its shiny edges. Birthday and farewell cards mountains so tall that puts me in constant fear of it tipping over. Roses on the corsage worn from a weak ago has lost its shape and wrinkled by time. A wishing bottle consisting of innocent prayers from when times were pure. Things that I never touch and has become useless physically, yet I’d still always care for and never dare to throw away. Their presence comforts me that life is well, reminding me of the times when life was carefree.
Parts of the pink glazed are chipping off throughout the work of time. Pink shiny nail polishes have diminished from my fidgeting of the box. The what used to be glistening pink jewelry box has darkened and turned into a rose as we aged parallelly, losing its attraction.
Lifting off the heavy lid reveals memories from the past. Funny the way time plays with our emotions. Seeing the odd combination of broken necklaces and photo stickers boards me on a time-traveling machine back to my old home. Each piece of item brings back a time period of time. Although they are now considered garbage in the eye of my mother, they are priceless treasures to me. The stamp customized with my name now stamps faintly with pink ink. As you could possibly tell, I was most definitely obsessed with the colour pink. Although my wardrobe now has basically drowned into the combination of white black and grey, seeing my pink belongings still tickles my heart, a heart that never darkened.

Day thirty-three:
I’ve been here for thirty days and twenty-three hours. I have perfectly memorized all of my nurses and doctor’s voices and their footsteps and gotten used to the chilling sound of heartbeat monitor beeping in my ears. The smell of rubbing alcohol makes me sick to the core, and the daily routine of injections into my left forearm has immune me to the stinging pain.
The last thing I remember before I woke up was the piercing sound of sirens crawling into my ears, eating up my eardrums with vibration; followed by a tremendous impact and squirts of blood, and my crippling heartache. I can’t recall what happened, but whatever I took into action seemed to have erased the feeling of my heart ripping out of my chest. I try to recall how I got here, but all that appears in my mind when I try to recollect my memories is the ripping agony radiating from my heart to the rest of my body. But what bothers me the most is that I can’t remember what caused that bitter sensation.
The darkness surrounded me. I could feel the god of death hovering over my body, waiting for my time to come. Trapped in this jail cell, I had no freedom but to wildly imagine what the world is like around me. Occasionally, such as right now, my nurse puts on classical violin music for me, and it was the best time for me to write my mental diaries. I enjoy the music, it gives me space away from the dead silence in the hospital room. I imagined what the hospital looked like. White bedsheets? a bed desk with a case and pink flowers in it? Pictures of dolphins swimming hanging on the wall? I tried to determine what the environment outside looked like. Big oak trees for old couples to rest under? ladybugs flying in front of windows to check out the boring room inside? I wish I could see all of that, but my eyelids aren’t able to lift, and my arms aren’t able to move either. The furthest I’ve gone from moving my body was to twitch my pinky toe, but even that felt like it took the strength of lifting a hundred pounds of weights. Through the wild imagination, something caught my senses. I smell roses through my oxygen provider. The smell is faint, yet it catches your attention distinctively through the smell of the hospital. Perhaps there is a rose bush outside my window. Its gentle scent brushes the tip of my nose like an innocent little sister who begs for your attention to play with her.
I continued to smell the fragrance of roses. I continued to savour the violin music. I continued to fight my fear of death.
Suddenly, a continuous beep of the heartbeat monitor overpowered the violin music.
Shakespearean Sonnet
The night is young, water glistening,
The trees whisper, carried by the wind.
Babies rest, mothers listening,
to moving water, as the air thinned.
I gaze up at the sky as I daydreamed,
for a day to come for all my problems vanished
Comforted by the ocean gleam
I rest my lids as the pain anguished
Light summer breeze brushed my cheeks,
the fragrance of roses tickled my stomach.
I imagined as if my father speaks
thought it was just the rocking of my hammock.
In a parallel universe when all is well
Perhaps my father and I might dwell.

(A song that I wrote and sang)
You grabbed me by my face
And brushed your nose against mine
The warm breath that touches my face melts all my doubts
The day I saw your face
You were standing in front of a store
I would've never thought how many memories we'd create together
//////
And then the next thing I know
You were all after me
And I thought "oh boy please don't let me fall"
And when I think about your comfy lap
How you always looking like a snack
I can't control myself
I love you baby
Don't tell me otherwise
No matter the conflicts/distance
I'll never let you go
Although we've come along way
The feelings are still intact
I can't picture the future
Without your retarded laugh
That one, the fairest of all flowers, loved.
Hugged by the bouquet, luxuriated.
She seizes the moment to surprise you,
with her crimson floret and jade coloured stem.
As the night awakens, the fairies rise up from the lakes,
kissing the fresh stars as if it was a blind date.
The water glistening, shattering the portrait of the silver plate hanging in the night.
If you blink for too long,
You might miss her magnificence.
(skit of the beginning of a short film about a rich girl who helps a girl whom she bullied to become a poet)
“she might as well back off,” said silver hair, staring at the ginger-haired girl with freckles who kneeled on the ground, trying to pick up her scattered books.
“she’s a nice kid,” Dickie added, kneeling down to help the girl.
“This is getting genuinely strange,” Hawk whispered to Sally, standing on the side observing the situation.
“Wow, you're defending Rachel Adams now? Everyone hates her Dickies, do you not remember how fun it was to bully her for the past five years?” Said silver hair.
“Well, maybe things are different now…I feel bad…”
“Can you just tell me what made you change your mind? From leading us to hide her backpack in the boys' washroom to helping her pick books off the floor? If “Anal Rachel” can change your stubborn mind then I’m really damn curious.” Silver hair said furiously.
“September 27th, 1946,” Dickie said.
“What does that even mean?” Silver hair says, getting impatient.
“September 27th, 1946. The day I heard her recite a poem for the first time.” Dickie added.

Whiteboard
Afar:
Homework and plans for the week neatly line up on one side of the board in multiple colours. Sunlight bounces off the polishing surface, glistening. The shining light creates a graceful and soft silhouette of the teacher, bordering her constantly waving gestures.
Zoom x1:
The left side of the board displays information in an interesting variety. From Byng Arts coffee house dates to yearbook poem submissions, from cartoon pig drawings to upcoming language test. The board is simple yet contains a rich sense of passion.
Zoom x2:
The board appears to be polished and clean until you step closer. Pieces of marker strokes missed when erasing and letters on the board have dried and darkened from age. Although the marks have been worn, it stains on the board strong. Steadier by time. Just like the blood and sweat she selflessly she'd for the school even when she is at her weakest point. But unlike the whiteboard marks, the heart she touched with her commitment will never be erased.

NEBULA (expansion)
This is a tale of a meeting of two lonesome, skinny, fairly old white men on a planet which was dying fast. The two sat facing each other five meters apart, each on a pale marble stone. They were dressed in complementary coloured suits, one in green and one in red. They sat in silence.
“What are we going to do after this?” The man in the green suit broke the silence.
“Move on to the next one of course, just like we have been doing for the last 2000 centuries.” Responded the man in the red.
Another round of stardust swept beneath their feet. The green suited man stood up, lifted his chin and gazed through the transparent layer of the atmosphere. The stars were bright and lively that night. He bent over and lifted the marble stone which he sat on. Underneath crawled out a fuzzy creature with eight legs and four eyes. Its figure was small and fragile, yet its movements were rapid and energetic.
“This looks familiar.” Said the green-suited man.
“I recall seeing it as well. It isn't from current one tho.” Answered the red-suited man.
“Do you remember the first one we went on, the one that was blue and green?” The green suited man said as he led his finger towards the creature, allowing it to climb onto his hand.
“Yes. One of the most beautiful ones to begin with. Haven’t seen anything richer after that.” The red-suited man answered as he watched the creature hesitate, reluctantly allowing its little legs to drag its fat body onto red-suited man’s hand.
“It was beautiful wasn't it.”
The eight-legged critter locked all four of its eyes on the green-suited man as he lifted his hand and studied the creature in return.
The creature curled its eight legs ups and layer itself comfortably in the warmth of the green-suited man’s palm. He signed, petting the fuzz ball as it relaxed.
“You know it doesn't have much time left, right? You always let your emotions take over you. It’s real dangerous you know.” Said the red-suited man.
“You ever thought about the meaning of all this?” Green-suited man questioned, still studying the creature.
“Never doubted it. Just doing my job.”
The green suited man peeped into the stars once again, examining each and every star, petting the soft creature. Villages of stars spread across the black canvas. Clusters of stars spun around the centre of each galaxy like guardian angels protecting the gems of the cosmos. The misty fairies were dancing around the nebulas of refining and creating new planets. A moment later, he stilled his eyes at a pink star that shone the brightest within his gaze. The stardust fairies were dancing around the gleaming nebulas, waking up the young ones. The star was near its mother. It was newborn and strong.
“I guess it is time.” The green-suited man said as he rested his hand on the creature’s back and slowly clenched his fist, savouring the sound of crunching bones. He wiped the warm and sticky liquid on its fur and laid the remains underneath the pale stone before he slowly put the stone back in position. The two men holding hands side by side and lifted into thin air. The planet they sat on crumbled behind them like a piece of scrap paper.
And there they went. They two men are quicker than the shooting stars and are as quiet as a snowflake landing on a teenager’s cupids bow. Some say that the pink star was their next destination, but some say the green-suited man decided to back out of his duty and became a nebula himself, spending the rest of his life creating new stars instead of destroying them.
