A great escape

-
 He felt the presence of the group of souls creeping up towards him. He didn't know why or how he could feel it, he just felt it. As his realization crept in that there was no hope left, his despair was complete. In seconds, hands grabbed onto his legs and arms and began dragging him into the abyss. He ran and ran until his legs felt like they'd been cut into pieces, and screamed and screamed and screamed until his shrieks rose louder than the whole clump of faces. As his train of thought returned he began pondering how to escape. As he thought about what could drive the ghosts away, he realized it was bright light would drive the ghosts away. Running as fast as his burnt out legs could take him, he grasped his bag as tight as possible and began digging through it as fast as possible. The burnt out oil lantern, a sandwich, and his phone. He hadn't used it because its battery was at 7% and he wanted to conserve it however, it was his only hope. Resisting the grip the ghastly hands had on his arm, he grabbed his phone and tried desperately to find the camera app as he saw the battery dwindle down from 7% to 6% and then 5%. Once he finally found it, he located the flash option, and twisted the phone towards the pit of souls, before snapping a photo right in their eyes. The ghouls burst out an earsplitting shriek and lay paralyzed in one spot. He took this little window of time to push open the door, which this time opened with no issue, and slammed it behind him. He walked out relieved as the sun began rising in the horizon.

Headaches and Outbreaks on a Lunar New Year

-
 Today is the first day of Chinese New Year and I want to talk about it. So every Chinese New Year my mom bakes different Chinese snacks, such as a type of Chinese chip like things (I don't know there ingredients),dried seaweed surrounded by a crunchy thing, pineapple cookies, and some more, but my personal favorite is her peanut cookies. (which I actually know the ingredients of as you'll see later) A few weeks ago I helped my mom with these cookies. We would shape a mixture of peanut and oil into a ball, use this thingie to put a hole in it for the peanut to go in, then use this egg mixture to spread around the hole to make the peanut stick, and then it is baked. (don't use this as an actual recipe, because if anyone is using this blog post made by a random 9 year old on the internet that I recalled from memory as a recipe, then I've lost all hope for humanity). However yesterday, I got a big headache yesterday from not drinking sufficient water. Eventually it cooled

Our Nightmare Trip to New York

-
 So I've been gone for a while. Partly because I've been away on a vacation to Malaysia for 2 months, and partly out of sheer laziness. The trip to Malaysia is worth a few blogs of it's own, but what I wanted to talk about was the nightmare that happened while we were trying to go home. Now, the trip to Malaysia was already unpleasant, what with one plane smelling of piss and me and my family trying (and failing) to sleep, and me vomiting on another, so by the time we made it we were already dreading the flight home. But the trip home managed to be EVEN WORSE.  It started off small, but annoying, with some guy at the Qatar Airport giving us wrong information and forcing us to go through airport security again . And while the flight itself wasn't too bad, the hassle crept back in after the flight when they didn't tag our luggage properly and forced us to carry them around in this big metal cart.  Then, we had to wait in several hour-long lines before we could wait

Song of the Shell - Prologue

-
     I can't remember much about my childhood. Whenever my family brings up the foods we ate, the sights we saw, or the people we met back then, my mind draws a blank. But there is one memory I remember in vivid detail, one which I could never forget no matter what,      You may have heard of the rumor that if you put a seashell up to your ear, you can hear the ocean inside of it. I had too, so when me and my family went to the beach when I was 6, I dug my way through the sand until I found one, gleaming and glistening in the summer sun.      Then, I  held it up to my ear and was awestruck by what I heard. What started out as the simple, yet relaxing sound of tides on a beach. But soon, the sound warped into a ballad of voices, singing like a stream of pure water. It was sorrowful, but enchanting, I couldn't take my ears off of it. I could've sat in the sand, indulging in the hypnotic song, forever. But soon, the sun set, and I had to return to the monotony of daily life.
