How I Write
I just, write.What I Am Working OnI submitted 6 stories this month, 4 of them are flash fictions(under 1000 words), 2 are short fictions (About 3000 words) (3 of the flash fiction and 1 of the short fiction were rejected earlier by others and I submitted to another place). Starting to write with more subtleties, more details and greater length. Working toward my first paid publication.New Target: One submission to The New Yorker per month, so that I can focus on one very important writing...
Red Van
David Chan drove a red van, a night circuit line around Mongkok, he worked ten hours a day, seven days a week, never pulled a sickie or late. For five years, he kept the routine. Just like Taxi Driver.It was the best part of the city, from the outside, it was shopping mall, but the deeper he went, the nastier it became. Bar and prostitution, gangs and fights, were covered, wrapped in a modern setting.One night, the road was clear and he sped to 90 and up on a straight, the beeping of the speed tracking...
Crack
I never thought John Whitley did it.The first time I meet John was at the art gallery, West 227. He was standing in front of a work on display composed by digital footprints. The peculiar sight of it captured only the two of us. As I approached him and aligned with him shoulder to shoulder inches apart, I could see it from his eyes, the passion, the curiosity beamed nakedly into the screen.He stood there staring blankly at the artwork, with arms crossed in front of his blue sweater, hands under...
SumFought: AMC - The Walking Dead Season 4
AMC’s The Walking Dead is slowly dying, from the inside.When the show first came out in 2010 and received some decent views, it was great, more like a mini-series hit.Then when it came to season 4 this year, everything changed. Change is good, mind you, but a show about the end of the human population going on such an uneven pace, exposed its fatal wound to the world-the story.The cast and characters are great, the acting I can’t say much about. For a walker dominated world, survival is vital. But...
SumFought: CW - Arrow Season 2
CW’s Arrow redefined the superheroes genre on TV.After a ordinary epic opening of season 1, It still has the best fighting scene ever for a TV show about the Green Arrow Oliver Queen. The motion and sound effect is solid and presented in such a flow that you would force yourself not to blink even if it hurt your eyes. It's that good. With the purposeful dim lightning and misty setup, it give out a scent of The Dark Knight, and could potentially be the template for action-based TV shows on similar...
Flying on the Rail
Pete lowered his head and stepped inside the back of the police cruiser. Presently, he heard a low humming when the vehicle lifted off from the ground in one smooth motion.He looked out to the distant, where the traffic of the metropolitan area at the evening shimmered in vibrant colors, as different carrying vessels blew past each other in the predefined paths and drives, which looked to be intersected from the ground up or from the sky down.The police cruiser quickly approached the city and joined...
Wei
Wei held the loosely wrapped joint in his left hand, between the middle and index finger, and inhaled deeply. The substances of the medical cannabis rolled into his system, and he felt like a vault had just been released as he twisted his head. He trapped the smoke in him to experience the fading sensation for as long as he could, and finally let it slip away as he exhaled unwilling. He took two more mouthful and ditched it on the ground, and rubbed the flame away with the tip of his left shoe....
Background Check
It probably was the day when that cop came in to the shop to buy some freaking bubble gums and two cans of coke that Wei realized he was going to jail someday sooner than he’d thought. The policeman was very friendly and chatty to him, he gave no attitude when putting the gums and drinks on the counter.“Hey kid, how’s your day.” The officer had white hair and dark wrinkles on his face, like those that had experiences on field, who had seen fire fight and coordinated something big. He leaned close...
Motorcycle Kills
The motorcycle silently crept up to Malory, its streamlined transparent cover and the shimmering core of the fusion drive glowed with a blue aura, a ray that stood out in the night. The driver wore a black outfit and had a reflective green helmet painted with logos or some sort-a crimson dragon and a white lion. Maleny turned back as she noticed the dim blue light that was spilled in the air, and she froze at the sight of the motorcyclist. Her breath felt short and her lips parted away, she screamed...
The Ring
Cho was walking down the street when the ring slipped through his hand as he bumped into a kid who was running with his head looking back. The kid said his sorry and ran along, he hadn’t notice it missing until he tried to rub his finger. He bent down to search the sidewalk for his missing ring, the sun was almost out and the light was dim, he hoped to catch a glimpse of the ring’s reflection some how but couldn’t see it anywhere. He squatted down and squinted and scanned the pavement, still nothing.Every...
That is EINK
(Written from what I could remember from a recent dream, still feeling a bit weird. It was modified for this blog edition) The high pitch alarm sounded across the platform as the crowd ran upward from their station. Luke looked up and saw how many bridges they would have to cross before reaching the top and sighed. “Move it,” said Jason behind him, “Come on, move.” They were in a big, wide tunnel, there was thousands of people in there, working on something. People pushed forward and upward, they...

Windows Cleaner
I have always dreamed about going up on a skyscraper and descend it on the cart attached by cables and wipe the glass. So, when Pete called me and offered me the job to wipe the glass of one of the tallest building in the city, I instantly said yes. How could I miss the chance of going on the dream job? The job was simple enough, wipe the glass clean and do it quick. Pete controlled the cart and we went from floor to floor, it didn’t feel like I am up in the air except the strong wind. I was so...
Say The Word
Lucas was hiking that day, up to the mountains, down to the trails. The sun hid behind curtains of clouds and came out occasionally to prompted the earth that it was still pretty much alive, though not present all the time.He had a camera strapped on his chest, it was recording everything thing he did because he wanted to share the experience of the roads and places he had been to, and brought some perspective to the public about hiking there.It was a windy morning, he had been walking for two hours...
Incense
There was this old temple, an old Chinese Buddhist temple. The wall and the pillars painted in red, the roof that looked like a book opened in half reverted painted in yellow, and many small painting and figurines in different colors, but mostly in green, and in the style of Chinese ink wash painting.Smog formed from the incenses lighted by the people engulfed the temple and took over the color. The whole temple looked washed away, the paint peeled off from the wall and the ceiling of the temple...
First Responder
Tory the robot driver sounded the alarm and Ken the medic hopped on the passenger seat.“What’s situation?” asked Ken as the ambulance pulled away from the hospital.“Code 23, critical injury.” replied the robot. “We are 7 minutes away.”Ken picked up the kaller. “Medic 2-Alpha-2, requesting permission to highway. Repeat, speeding.” Tory processed the request to the command.“2-Alpha-2, you are cleared to go.” said a female voice from the comm.“Now.” said Ken.Tory the robot engaged the magnetic field...

Full Dimension
The security cameras at 44 West 77 picked up an explosion. Normally the feed would be composed to a three dimensional footage that could be rotated and adjusted to any angle for the very best view. And through the dimensional footage, a slight moment of any person or object would be clearly visible. There’s also the dimensional scanning of the captured area, which could be used to find things inside someone’s bag or in the car.What the cameras captured was an vehicle that exploded right above the...

Unresponsive
“Start.” Nick commanded.
Nothing happened. Normally it would take not a second, but not today.
His eyebrows tightened and tried again. “Start.”
Still.
“God damn it, start!” Nothing came to life.
“Start, start, start, start, start.” He felt the dryness in his mouth and stopped yelling. “Damn machine.”
After inspecting the cable and powercord and found nothing, he was frustrated.
He tried the typical unplugging and reconnecting, which yielded no result. While shaking his head, he noticed a...
Three Months!
How I Write
Typically I write (type) in the afternoon and the evening till 10 at night.
And I have got the Acer C720 Chromebook earlier this month, so now I have a little setup where I can sit and type more comfortably. The transition from a desktop to this tiny Chromebook is not too painful as I was already working with the Google Doc way ahead of time in anticipation to the device’s arrival.
