Perfect Day, or Not? Part 2 This part is the continuation of the previous article: **Perfect Day, or Not?** https://read.cash/@meitanteikudo/perfect-day-or-not-f6d0e96a The Arrival So we had borrowed another working car and you'd think that we would reach the destination without a hitch, huh? I wished. We've been there before, I drove there before, and I was familiar with the non-existent roads leading to the resort. I say non-existent because they were just actually piles…
Abrupt Endings and Sour Beer So I sat here in front of my old laptop, not that I have a new one, I would just like to emphasize that I have a really old laptop, lol. Anyway, I sat here in front of it with a glass and a huge piece of ice and a can of beer on the side. It's a new kind of beer that I saw once behind a delivery truck. And also, I saw it being sold at my favorite Ramen Shop. I thought that I should try it but of course, I didn't buy it from that restaurant, the…
The Farmboy Who Changed the World at 14 The day started like any other for this young and capable land in Idaho. He woke up early in the morning and had some humble breakfast which was prepared by his loving mother. Just before the sun fully rises up, he and his father would go on to work on the fields. This young lad has a thing for tinkering with things and for thinking about big ideas. His mind was never idle and there weren't enough things to do on the farm aside from…
In Her Flower Garden The timer is set to 5 minutes. Fingers were stretched. I relaxed my mind with a couple of deep breaths. The mission? It's a freewriting challenge. The prompt? A single phrase, one subject, with just two words: flower garden. Another deep breath and press 'start'. And here's what I came up with: *She was laying down and looking up at the bright blue sky. She could smell the fragrance of the freshly bloomed flowers all around. She was laying on the top of…
Romeo and Juliet, Momo and Anna Mari Let us start the week with a bang. Let's start it with an end of a season, shall we? This is the continuation of the episode here: **A Confession and a Creampuff****.** https://read.cash/@meitanteikudo/a-confession-and-a-creampuff-47a8a311 At last, it was the day the whole class prepared for. Everyone was nervous. Everyone was anxious, but everyone was ready. Jeremy was backstage with headphones on his head. He was peeking behind the…
A Stabbing Pain I'm pretty late in starting tonight. I was just absorbed in playing my game. That's why. I haven't played for long periods of time these past few weeks so I just wanted to catch up and make the most out of it. But that out of the way, my mind is now clear and devoid of any distractions. But to be honest, it's totally empty too. I can't think of any topic that I could write about. Actually, I'm not sure if this one can make the cut and I'm not sure that I…
Where the Sea and the Sky Meets "Dude! She's gone. There's nothing else to be done." Henry said. He was trying to console Brent who was faced down on the bar counter still asking for another drink. He was trying to drown away his sorrows to soften the blow that he was still feeling since his girlfriend left him. *Iniwan sa ere? (left while in flight),* that could very well summarize what happened to him. And it could also be taken literally. He was high in their relationship…
Caramel Macchiato and $500M in Bitcoin He didn't reply and immediately she thought: they've got him and now they're coming for me. She hurriedly pulled out the USB plugged into the laptop and pocketed it. She grabbed the laptop, turned it over, and pried out the hard disk and the memory from it. She then tossed them into a microwave and turned it on. In just a few minutes she walked out of the warehouse dressed in a girly hoodie it was pink in color. At a glance, she looked…
Where the Sea and the Sky Meets: Finale *"Shut up!" she said and then her mouth was all over his. He would like to fight back and stop, but he still sees Carrie's face. He just couldn't fight it off. And he just went with it. He kissed back, hard. He wanted her to feel just how he missed her. The kiss was passionate, it was rushed. It felt like a contest between them of who could suck on the other's lips the hardest.* He didn't pay attention to the tears on the side of his…
A Rainbow Colored Night Welcome! Come one, come all. Scratch that. Hear ye, hear ye. Okay, I give up, I clearly don't know how to start this article so let's just begin this free writing session. The timer is set, fingers stretched, brain cells squeezed, and let's get it on. Hmmm, so for the topic, let me take you for a ride. It's a ride like no other, it's a ride across the rainbow. I'm not sure but I have been thinking about rainbows earlier. It may mean something, it may…
Kulu Swimhunter at the Beach Kelya Frendul was hanging out at the beach with her entourage one fine day. She wasn't sunbathing or anything cool like that. She was just hanging out by the sea to reimagine her powers and reconnect with her old world to make her weapons of destruction better. She was walking leisurely by the shore when someone called out to her. "B!tch! Your big fat hair is covering the sun. Get out of the way" Obsidian called out to her urging her to move out.…
Kulu Swimhunter Haunts the Seas Even before Moana hits the sea, Kelya Frendul was already sailing the seven seas searching far and wide for the ultimate ingredient she could use to make the ultimate weapon. One day, she was traveling on her ship with her loyal servant, the Scavo Hireling, across the Bermuda Triangle. She took the Scavo Hireling with her because it was an expert in fixing things. She thought that it could help her when the ship meets some difficulties along…
An Impending War and a Green Bitcoin "Princess!!!" Mina was screaming at the top of her lungs as she sees the hooligan charging toward Elexandria while wielding an ax. The mystery man looked up and squinted his right eye. It was the only eye that was exposed because his left was covered by his bangs and he appeared to have an eyepatch over it. When the ruffian got to the princess he tried to swing the ax across her neck but he couldn't. He gathered all his strength but he…
His Deepest, Darkest Secret: Revealed This is the continuation of a story I have written previously: His Deepest, Darkest Secret. https://read.cash/@meitanteikudo/his-deepest-darkest-secret-cd44c1d3 And if you want the TL:DR version let me try and give it to you: After a night of drinking out, Amy finally got herself into her crush's house. For a while now, she was giving him signals that she likes him but it seems like he wasn't biting into them. Maybe he swings the other…
Too Much Eye Contact Let me just set these budol items on the side and start the timer. Go. Now that the pressure is on, let's try to counter it with a deep breath and a relaxing expression. I wish you could see how I try to smile, I swear it looks weird. Anyhow, welcome to another freewriting session where everything goes and anything is fair play. Play that funky music. Oh no, just kidding. I think I write better in peace. I think I do better without any other…
A Scary Movie and an Afternoon Nap Let me just press the timer and let the ideas start flowing. I have just been away from writing for a full day because I was away for vacation and decided to take the weekend off. But here I am sitting on our porch looking out the streets with the fresh air brushing against my cheeks as I itch my way into writing. I really don't know why but when I try hard to write, it seems like the words don't just seem to be as fluid as when I'm not…
Q&A in the Middle of the Day So a few days ago, the ever-so-cutie @carisdaneym2 published a Q&A article which she urged me to answer too. I don't know if I could answer them as entertaining as she did them, but let me try. Well, I told her I'd do it, so I'll be a man of my word, and here goes nothing: Why do we need questions? https://read.cash/@carisdaneym2/answering-random-questions-from-my-virtual-friends-and-subscribers-03683dfc#why-do-we-need-questions Hmmm. Why do we…
Squad Goals Let's toss the towel to the side. Jump into bed and under the sheet. Breathe in, breathe out. Worries out and swag on. Timer starts and let the freewriting begin. I was playing wordle earlier and it was just too bad that I played with different devices for the game. I should have stayed in one device so I could record the streak and the attempts I did. Anyway, as I was playing it, I was thinking of an impromptu topic that I could write about and nothing seems to…
Eating Out: This or That I have just noticed that I have been giving in to my cravings lately. And I'm talking about food, okay? It's like I'm making an excuse for myself to eat out whatever I fancy. And sometimes, I just eat something for the sake of eating it. I'm not even hungry but I feel like I have to eat some. So speaking of food, allow me to impart you some of my preferences with food. Hey, I'm not a picky eater but if there are choices, then I would like to exercise…
Pause. Break. Timeout. Pause. Break. Timeout. Rest. These words may sound so antiproductivity but they surely are underrated when it comes to efficiency and effectiveness of what we are doing. When it comes to sports like basketball or volleyball, aren't time outs so important that they could be used to regroup and revisit the team's goal and directives? These timeouts are so important that they are only limited. Timeouts can also change how the game is going. They could…
A Selfless Act by the Mycelic Morphoid The twins Bert and Ernie were walking down the riverside of the longest river in the Splinterlands. They were conjoined twins and they were known across the lands as the Mycelic Morphoid. They were happily prancing beside the riverbank as they were talking to each other. They were on their way to see their friends for a picnic. The Obsidian was already there securing a spot for them. She laid down a huge carpet on the sand. She tied her…
Gin Kings For The Win! I was really ticked off earlier and my chest was just beating so fast that I was angry and really pissed off. But I’m alright now, I’m all better now. Thanks to the whole barangay and they made my mood better. Brgy. Ginebra Gin Kings never disappoint when it’s clutch time. It was clutch for me and they delivered. They managed to rally toward the win and it made my day so much better. And also, the night even became better because I was able to…
Mycelic Morphoid Lays Its Life The Mycelic Morphoid, or the Mycelic twins as they are known in the Splinterlands kingdom, are on their evening walk one fine evening. They were walking the known paths of the forest. They stopped when they heard the rustling sound from a bush from over a few feet away. They looked at each other and they shared the same sense of curiosity. They tiptoed their way to follow the rustle and they ended up at the opening of a cave. They heard groans,…
Out Of Whack It's a Friday and I think that my brain cells felt that it was already a weekend for them and they went for a dive in the cold swimming pool filled with nothingness and void. It was just freezing, it was just pure vacuum. All-day, I have been trying to write a single article but all I did was stare at my screen and then go back on my phone, stand up and chitchat with my coworkers, or maybe roll around on my swiveling chair and chitchat some more. But with all…
The Old House The old house, with its wildly overgrown garden, was silent, secretive, and just warrants a lot of curiosity. I always pass by it every morning and I have never once seen anyone coming from it or anyone going to it. It looked abandoned but you would see the lights come on at night. You can't just see through the fence around it. You can't really peek inside and see anything. With its ancestral and aged look, it was the center of the town's ghost and mystery…
Hit Me Baby One More Time, DON'T. A while back I joined a discussion on a blog site’s message board and we were discussing a topic that was so sensitive and so important that everyone should really be aware. The topic was domestic violence in relationships. They posted questions that everyone could answer to participate. And of course, I had to voice out what my opinions about domestic violence are. 1. What is your thought on domestic violence in a marriage or relationship?…
Accident While Writing Inspiration, Inspiration, where art thou? I really don't have much energy to write when I'm at home and I'm in bed. I'd rather write tons in the office. That way, I can focus better on the keyboard and on the monitor. But sometimes, it's hard to write in the office too because I can't work with a timer there. There are always some distractions that will take your mind off of the topic you are writing. Anyway, today, I can't seem to hold a topic down so…
The Educational System He hadn't seen anything like it in twenty years of teaching, it was just so unexpected, surprising, and downright frustrating. He felt like the whole education system has been put to the test and it miserably failed. In 20 years of teaching, he thought that he'd seen it all. He even taught at various schools so he knew that it wasn't environmental, it was just the abomination of the whole school system shutting down. He taught high school, every single…
Broken Windows, Broken Me My head is numb but it is swelling at the same time. I feel like it is open and at the same time it's contracted. With a little more effort than usual, I tried to sit up straight. It was hard, as hard as the floor I was sitting on. I looked around and there are lots of glass fragments lying around. I was about to hold my head when I realized that I didn't know where I was. I stood up and looked around. The place seemed like a decent apartment. But…
The Studious Kid That I Was So it is that kind of day today when all I want to do is laze around my bed and do nothing. I don't even have the heart to write about anything and my mind feels like it's just really functioning at the minimum level possible, just enough to make my motor skills and other functions work, such as breathing. Anyway, I was reading some articles in the community Prompt Factory to somehow get some inspiration for what to write about and I stumbled upon…
How Many Dates? I welcome you once again into my humble abode, I mean into my brain. Let me give you a tour of what my thoughts look like when I'm alone late at night and a little bit drunk. Drunk with alcohol, drunk with love, but sometimes drunk with my own longing for human touch. Lol. Anyway, joining me here tonight are my roommates. They are with me always. All day, all night. On my left, here's Ron, and sitting pretty on my right, here's Bree. They're joining me here…
The Studious Kid That I Was Part II As promised, I'll try to continue this interesting prompt initiated by @kingofreview . I have answered the first few questions in this article: **The Studious Kid That I Was**. https://read.cash/@meitanteikudo/the-studious-kid-that-i-was-8b1592ec Without further ado, let's try to go on with the rest of this pretty handy questionnaire. **Played on a sports team** I did. I was part of our volleyball teams both for HS and grade school. I also…
My Earth Splinters Lineup As you probably know by now, Splinterlands is a strategy game. Aside from being a card-trading goldmine, it's also imperative to have a strategy to make your way to the top. Yes, of course, having a great deck of cards could make you conquer the battlefield with ease. You can bulldoze your way to the rankings with sheer power but it will definitely be advantageous if you know how to use the cards you are dealt with. If you are a newbie or starting…
One of Those Days Finally! I'm finally able to just sit down and face my mobile screen to try and write an evening piece freewriting style. And I am saying that as I made back my way to this text area after getting done with the distractions, by distractions I meant that I was just in google searching for a way to cast my phone to my console so I can have a bigger screen while I type in the keyboard but then I ended up lost looking at funny videos on reddit. Damn you…
Time Mage's Love Interest Ultear was walking at the beach late at night. She was enjoying the cool summer night's breeze as the sea gently washes the shore away and softly caressed her feet. She was walking by the side of the shore and she feels a bit chilly so she had her hands wrapped around herself in an attempt to shield herself away from the cold. She doesn't mind it though, the cold never bothered her anyway, but it was just the human reflex that made her shiver like…
First Kiss and Championship Alright! Come one, come all. Welcome to another freewriting session with yours truly. This is a writing exercise wherein we battle it out with the clock and our little favorite app- the most dangerous writing app. The timer starts and you should be typing continuously or else, all your work will be deleted instantly, you only have three seconds to think of the next letter to type down before the app goes wacky and erase everything.

The Only Way Out **The entrance to the tunnel was his only way out**. He ran inside the tunnel thinking that he could lose the people that were chasing him. But he didn’t expect the tunnel to be closed out on one end by the debris of a landslide. He could see the light from the outside through the little holes but the debris was just too thick and heavy for him to even try to dig his way out. He could try but he was afraid to lift up the wrong stone and make everything…
The Studious Kid That I Was Part III Alright, welcome here again. I thought that this was just a quick article but I never imagined that we will be going for a third one for this article. Anyway, let's go, let's wrap things up for this amazing and very nostalgic prompt initiated by @kingofreview . This series of articles is guided by the following Never Have I Ever questions: **Acted Cool To Get Attention** If you are familiar with Chuunibyo or 8th-syndrome, then nope. I…
The Girls of The Not-So-Perfect World It has been a while since my series The Not-So-Perfect World closed its curtain for its very first season. I just hope to continue it sometime in the future. But for now, I would like to reminisce about how the first season went by. I would just like to share with you how I envision the characters in the series. I would like to share with you what they look like in my mind but I don't know how to draw. And I am not being humble here, I…
Rise To Stardom Some kids dream to be a star when they are young. Some may dream to be an actress or an actor, some may dream to take the stage and sing, some of them want to captivate the crowd with their moves, and some may also want to drop some sick verse before they could drop the microphone with a lot of swag. As a kid, aside from dreaming to be a lawyer, I also wanted to stand in front of a massive crowd and just sing my heart out and captivate everyone with my…
What About Stablecoins? Looking back to my earliest days in the cryptoverse, there's this one idea or concept that has always been present when I read about the issues in cryptocurrency. And even now, it is still a leading issue when it comes to a regular cryptocurrency. And it just makes you think that more than a limitation, it may already be considered as an attribute of a cryptocurrency, and that idea? "**Volatility**". And wow, I didn't know that volatility has a very…
It's Just A Little Crush Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the deepest levels of my thoughts wherein you witness how my ideas run as fresh and as unfiltered as they are. Welcome to another session of freewriting I would like to call Late Nights and Drunken Thoughts. With me here tonight are two of my alter egos, as usual, Ron and Bree. They will give insight into what I am thinking and will try to react to the topic at hand. And speaking of topics, I still can't…
Opening My Second Pack on RisingStar A while back I joined and tried playing the game RisingStar. It's not a very time-consuming game so I was able to keep at it even if I was busy doing things here and there. I was able to keep on doing missions every single day, and I was able to progress with the game too, albeit slow. I have yet to spend any money on the game and I am now opening my second card pack. A normal car pack in the game contains 3 NFT cards, 2 common cards, and…
Dang! It's Crypt Beetle It was a fine, dark, gloomy day in the deepest parts of Splinterlands. Thaddeus Brood, decided to go out of his cavehome and play outside. He wanted to go explore the forest and maybe find a new pet to play with. He scoured every corner of the immediate perimeter and he swung from tree to tree. He turned every stone near the river and he was just eager to find a new plaything. And as he was ready to abandon his goal for the day, something flew past…
The Marks Across My Neck I don't care who you are, I don't care where you're from, and I don't even care what you did, I just hope that you know and you support ZERO violence in relationships. And I am here to tell you that there's only one kind of bruising tolerable in relationships if it came from sweet sexytime, a hickey for example. What? You don't know what a hickey is? Well then, you should skip to the next article. You are too young to read the following text. Now the…
Touch It, It's Hard Thaddeus Brood was occupied with his mind as he was sitting on a tree while he was looking down the dark lands of the kingdom. It smells like death and the air was cold and eerie. He looked around, up and then down, to make sure that no one was lurking around the vicinity. He had that creepy grin on his face and he was smirking at himself. When he was certain that there was no one in his vicinity and no one could interrupt him, he hurriedly pulled out…
