Eyes like a mirror of liquid fire
Collide with a wall of beliefs
Labeled as an extinct cold star,
Ice melts in a long moment
Pouring wisdom on a dry land.
Sail towards a sunshine night
Eat out fear and bring back the light.

For the Love of Samosas
Prologue Today's post is short fiction in honor of all the hassled parents trying to keep their angsty teens in line. "Bye mum! I'm not coming home for lunch today. I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.
