A Very Short Story...
He wanted to read a book. Not a big deal, but he had not enjoyed a good book since university when he had taken an elective to go with his business administration courses. That was a time when he enjoyed talking about and reading Russian literature; when they had talked about and discussed Chekhov and Tolstoy. That was on the list, right? Some Dostoevsky, too… He had liked it. So, there was the bookstore… And he kept walking.

Passing Ships
There are many times that I have reminisced about my best friend from my past. She had a great impact on my life. I wondered where was she, what was she doing, after that last evening, sixty-five years ago, when she drove off with her parents to move to Detroit, Michigan in search of a better life than the one black people were living in the deep south of Georgia. Did she and her family find that prosperous life, did she marry, did she have children, did she become famous and rich, beyond her poor humble exitance, there are some people that do, or if she were alive or dead, did I ever cross her mind. I also wondered if would I ever see her again, and if so, would she remember me or was I someone that she erased from her memory, a long time ago.

The Parrot that is not for sale
On the first floor, there was an elderly man named Mr. Wang, who was a bird enthusiast with no children or family. He had many beautiful birds, such as the Tiger-skin Parrot, Peony Parrot, Hwamei, and Pigeons. However, Mr. Wang's favorite bird was a plain black parrot with missing feathers on its head and mottled feathers on its body. Despite its appearance, the parrot had a talent for mimicking various voices, from old to young, and high to low pitches. Every morning, when Mr. Wang removed the black cloth covering the birdcage, the parrot would say in a hoarse voice, "Drink water, take your medicine." Following its instructions, Mr. Wang obediently drank a glass of water and took a blood pressure pill.
