This I want to say...

I really want to say this to my friends when they start dating. I'll be the over-protective brother, but not since I'm a girl. So I'm the over-protective best friend or sister? I don't know, but this is seriously want to say this. Aren't there things that you just want to say, but haven't found a right time to say them yet?
Someone I know has on their bucket list to say "Follow that Car" as she climbs into a taxi. Isn't that something you want to do? I totally want to do that now, but I probably wouldn't have the nerve to say something like that. You never know, maybe when I go to Taiwan this year I'll try doing this, so they hopefully won't understand me.
What are things you want to say, things for fun or things you need to say? I haven't asked for forgiveness yet, and the guilt is eating me away, I really NEED to do that. Sometimes I haven't said "sorry" enough, or even "Thank you". Wow, I sound like I'm so inconsiderate, guess I am. Anyways these are things I NEED to say, I have so much more than I want to say though. :)

Flash Fiction 2

Alice had just found him, she wouldn't let him go again. She couldn't not after last time. Hoping against all hope, Alice prayed. He couldn't leave her like this, he couldn't do this to her. Didn't he know what this would do to her? Didn't he care?
"Why?` she cried out to the smiling moon` you can't take him from me, not again.....please" She dropped to her knees, her strength all evaporated like a cloud of smoke, someone came running.
"Alice, He's gone" her sister whispered brokenly. Alice lifted her tear-stained face.
"I know... I know"

Write a story in which a character finds something he or she has no intention of returning.

Gasping in the ice-cold mountain air, Navid had won the race. The sun had not yet risen, a clear crystal lake swayed gently next to him. Pounding footstep reach his ears, Haru, his best friend was coming.

“You….cheat” Haru wheezed out. He laughed at Haru's red, huffing face.

“Come on Haru, it wasn't that bad,” he said teasingly and pulled him to the lake, suddenly Navid stopped short.

“Haru?  Do you see that?” he asked, hoping he would be wrong. Haru gazed out towards the lake,

“Navid, it’s a girl! We haven’t had one in ages!” he exclaimed excitedly. So he was right, Haru did see what Navid had feared the thing to be, there was a reason all the girls disappeared.

“Hey, dude what’s wrong with her?” Haru asked me still looking at the figure floating in the lake. As he looks to where he was pointing, she slipped into the clear waters of the lake. Without thinking he races into the freezing lake. Navid swam hard to get to where she had disappeared; he dived trying to get to the place where she had disappeared. He dragged her back to shore and carried her out. Haru came running to him, taking the girl away from his limp fingers. He collapsed from exhaustion; in the distance, he could hear Haru giving her CPR. A gasp startled him, she was awake.

“Where am I?” she asked, her voice rough. She was beautiful, with violet grey eyes she captured him. Something about those eyes made him WANT to protect her, and love her. Navid made a decision right there, he would never let her go. He saved her, he had found her, she was his, the girl with the violet grey eyes, you're MINE.

Cricket Flash Fiction 2

The shadows gathered around you waiting for the flint. As you pull it out it shimmers slightly, the shadows reach for it stealthily, jealousy in their eyes. Knowing that if they get the flint, they could destroy your love, you quickly bring out cashew instead. Bringing out the cashew caused all of the shadows to cower away. In a rage of not getting the flint, one of the larger shadows shakes the cavern of where you are hidden. The shake causes some burning oil to land on you flip flop clad foot.
"Priest" you call out and instantly your most trusted advisor, a tiger appears.
"Well' you say' all in a good days work" You then reach into your pocket to pull out a tiara, made lovingly for your future queen.
"Now time to make her mine"

Cricket Flash Fiction 1

The shadows surrounded me, cutting off my vision of the light.

"Flint' I called out' are you there?" I looked to my left, a hand reached into the shadows, shimmering slightly.

Desperately I grasped the hand willing my legs to move towards it. I moved towards the hand as stealthily as I could, still, the shadows notice my feeble escape. They pulled my back jealously, claiming me as their own.

"No, please...please LET me go" I cried out to my captors. The sweet smell of cashew cinnamon tarts reached my nose. I knew that scent, I closed my eyes and let it envelop me.

"Father Priest" I snickered to myself, even in a time of danger I could still make myself laugh, typical. When I did open my eyes the shadows were gone and there were only Father Priest and some oil? I looked at him questionably.

"It was your mother's idea" he explained to my bewildered face. My mother? Wait, where was Flint? I looked left and right, wasn't he right there?

"Father? Did you find Flint?" I asked worried for my friend’s safety. He shook his head, his eye held a steely gaze, wait for what?

"No" I whispered, he tricked me. He walked towards me slowly, reaching into his now transformed clothes. He pulled out the tiara and laughed cynically.

"You made your decision, my dear you must stay with me." I looked down at my feet, startled to see that I still had my flip flops on. I raised my head,

"Oh no, Morelli, I haven't made my decision yet."

"What?" he roared, as my beautiful savior, Flint stood as a tiger. I ran to him, hugging him tight

" See you soon, Morelli"
