Now.

The heat increases, as the rollers stay shut. The gentle wind rustles a few leaves on the floor, somersaulting and hovering ever so gently.

Neither a murmur at the common area, nor the usual cacophony of environment noise, as people simply lie back and relax, while others go and celebrate with relatives.

Catch up with lives,
Some genuine, others superficial.
Be nice relatives and hosts,
Some out of goodwill, others mandatory.

Perhaps I shouldn't have left your life so sudden
But, you did say you chose him.
Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding between the both of us
But, if you ever need anything, a listening ear or two,
I'm just a text away. :)

darkness

Slowly creeping into oblivion
The darkness that opens its
gaping wide mouth
The ground that tips in its favor

Darkness swarms the land
Locusts flies of every kind
Green to black, air to death,
The total decimation of the mind.

Ghouls that fly and wail and screech
Carcasses lie stripped and bare
Choking, flailing arms,
Disaster fills the air

Bluetooth

Bullets whiz past overhead, as shells exploded in the distance. The ground shook, and trees shuddered and reacted with falling leaves, as if trying to protect its own bark. Shouts of commands and morale-boosting one words like 'Go!' and 'Charge!' and 'Die!' could be heard every now and then, as men clad in green ran from tree to tree, clamored from trench to trench, survived enemy to enemy,

He moaned in orgasmic agony, his mind converting pain to pleasure. He tried to speak, but he couldn't. 'Medic!' Someone shouted and a huge towering giant lumbered over, carrying both a stretcher and a machine gun. 'Oh no!', he uttered in a rather surprisingly high pitched voice.

Blood foaming out of his mouth, a sudden stream of blood pulsated out of his body by a bullet that ricocheted. The medic swiftly tended to both his wounds as best as he can, before hailing for a heli-evac. 'This will ease the pain', the medic said and injected him with a dose of morphine, sending him to a ferris wheel of unconsciousness.

He woke up a few hours later, to find a rather artistic hole through his teeth, a reminder of the bullet he took for his buddy, and a reminder that brushing and maintaining the strength of your teeth is very important.

Due to technological advancements, and compensation from insurance, he managed to implant a free device in the empty gap in his tooth, blue in color.

Bluetooth. :)

All By Himself

He kneels amongst the withered crops, tears stream down his face. His hands rough and hard pummel the ground in frustration. He lifts up his head and gives a great howl that echoes all through the crops field and beyond.

Birds resting on nearby branches cease their chirping and flutter away, leaving the broken and beaten man by himself.

Alone. Desolate. Useless.

The crops he took time and effort to plow were all gone. Withered. Savaged. Burnt. Destroyed.

All. By. Himself.

The Edge of Darkness

The Edge of Darkness starring Mel Gibson is a movie not to be missed. It is a thriller, literally. Expect sudden scenes that will startle you and be prepared to not anticipate, because you will never know what will come next. There will be certain scenes of dialogue that makes it seem a little boring and mundane, but it is merely just a prelude to exciting scenes.

In a nutshell, the movie is about a father's quest for the truth behind her daughter's death. Shot right in front of his eyes, he disbelieves the notion that he, being the cop, was the intended victim. Not knowing anything about his daughter's life or work, whom he single-handedly brought up, this movie is about his path for the truth, and for the greater good of mankind.

The Box

I watched The Box at GV Plaza Sing just now.

If you're looking for a show that's entertaining, full of action or romance or leave you with a warm-fuzzy feeling in your heart, then this show ain't for you.

What this show is effective in doing though, is to prompt you to think about certain life questions like for example between money and life, though not in the normal way you'll expect.

*spoiler alert*

The movie is about a stranger who turns up on the doorstep and drops off a box. In the box is a button. Push the button and somebody out there in the world, whom you do not know, dies. Oh, and you get one million dollars. In Cold Hard Cash.

Will you push the button?

Also, further on in the movie, the male lead had to choose between killing his wife, and saving his son, or not killing his wife, but his son loses his sight and hearing.

Which would you choose?

Overall, the music wasn't fantastic, and the plot was average, but the mental stimulation was good. Not for the faint-hearted though, lest you break down emotionally.
