Love Someday
Chapter 1: Early in the 1960's people were pretty much living a lifestyle that we would beg for. From the scenery to the climate, being self-effacing to ridiculously happy, one was very placid . It was almost the end of the fall. The roads filled with now dried leaves, dark sky trying to push its way to commence the winter. The cold cloud decides to bomb its possession all at once with the loudest thunder crying to begin the white goddess. It was only natural for the people then to obscure themselves from the harsh wind until the cold ended. With feet disappearing under the white carpet laid by the snow, children were found feeling ecstatic about Santa and adults with worries to cosplay santa. Amidst all of these going around in the outside world, there is someone who barely left his house . The man never leaves his habitat unless or until he needs urgent services for him,the stash of groceries in his house is piled to the floor level. His three storeyed building was unkempt , crotons and plants growing through the walls,portraying the majestic building to be haunted. The unsightly building is hidden away from the heart of the city. The once dream house dried down to a measly hidden mysterious house .

Bad Day
So, you'll never believe what happened to me at work yesterday. Well, to get an idea of how crazy it is, I'll tell you a bit about myself first. I'm a postman. I work very early morning and do rounds in the same blocks every day. Except on weekends of course. It can get tiresome at times. For example, some people really can't write legibly, so I end up putting a letter through the wrong box.

A Nearly Forgotten Memory
“How beautiful,” a lady seated behind me sighed. With her nose and hands pressed against the window, and a wide-eyed stare, her enthusiasm reminded me of a child outside of a shop window at Christmastime. “How stunning,” she added.

The vodka and the Clamato juice mixed with the spiciness of the tabasco sauce and black pepper eased Azal's mind and allowed him to focus on the obituary. He nibbled on some tortilla chips.
