《My Short Stories》Chapter 7
Advertisement
When you here the word spring, what do you think about? Probably flowers, trees, nature, etc. It's not the same for me. When I think of spring I think of sadness, devastation and death.
It was the first day of spring. I was dressed in a cute flowery top I bought specially for this day. I love spring. The flowers, the nature, the weather, everything is perfect.
I decided to go to the park. As I was looking for a place to sit I noticed a super cute boy sitting on a bench. I decided to try my luck and went up to him.
"Hi can I sit here?" I asked.
He looked at me. And I almost got lost in those eyes. They were so green that they reminded me of the woods. "Sure." He said.
I sat down leaving some space between us. He scooted closer to me. "I am Xavier. And you are?" He asked.
"I am Rose. Nice to meet you." I said.
"Rose, such a pretty name just like you." He said. 'He is flirting me' I thought blushing.
"Thank you."
"Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked.
"No, do you?" I asked.
"No I don't have a boyfriend." He said.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." I said embarassed.
He laughed. "I know. I was joking. I don't have a girlfriend."
"That's good." I said.
"Would you like to have coffee with me?" He asked.
And just like that we started dating. It was amazing. We both had so much in common. We went on a lot of dates. It escalated quite quickly.
Soon we met each other's parents. And we moved in together. Everything was just perfect.
Until one day, Xavier went to the hospital. He was having a lot of headaches lately. So I told him to go to a doctor. When he returned he looked upset. He was told to run some tests. They were not sure what's wrong.

Three weeks later, he was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiform. It was as if everything shattered around us. We were told not to lose hope but we all knew that it was not treatable. The death rate was 95 percent.
Still for each other we both smiled as if everything was going to be alright. The treatments went on and on without stopping. We tried all kind of medicines, therapy, radiation but his condition only worsened.
One day, he woke up telling me the headache was worse than usual. It worried me I told him to go to the hospital. They told us there was nothing wrong. We came back home. We watched television. Everything seemed normal. He told me he was tired and going to take a nap. He never woke up.
Now whenever I think of spring I think of the day I first met him and everything that happened after. He was the love of my life. The kind of love that only happens once. I don't think I will ever forget him. And every first day of spring it reminds me of the happiness and the love I felt and the heartbreak that followed suit.

8 207Reborn Magician Tyrant [Old]
Author's Note #4: This is the old, hastily written version. A great magician from the Human Kingdom travels west to fight the Demon Kingdom. Finally, after eight long years of war, the Human Kingdom emerges triumphant! But, just as the Human Kingdom begins to celebrate the victory, an enemy from a land far to the east attacks! After rushing to help support the Human Kingdom capital against the assault, the magician is met with the sight of his beloved city razed to the ground. The magician fights off whatever invaders he can, using whatever tactics he knows, but he is eventually felled in combat due to the superior abilities of the invaders. However, death is not the end! The magician reincarnates, awakening as a citizen of the empire which conquered his home! Author's Note #3: Okay, that's the end for me. This is too boring for me to continue writing, and I've gotten back to writing Reborn as a Dungeon Core in an Apocalyptic World. At 26,772 words, this has gotten too boring for me to continue. I'm probably going to take this basic story and rewrite it into something way better w/ longer chapters, but at least I had fun for the six days it took to write this much. PS - Love the reviews; they're great. Way to go, dude with 22 thumbs up and 0 thumbs down!
8 127Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
