SUIT UP!

Hi! Axl here! did ya'll miss me? i hope so haha. Anyway, what's crackin today? hope ya'll having a great day! So yea, this is my third post/individual report in this blog and im gonna share a little bit of my fav Short fiction stories(so far) from the internet. Seriously, these stories are Lit as h...

So my first reading short fiction story is " The mountain" created by aknier and my fav character is ofcourse the main character. O wait, i'm supposed to be the character that i liked from this story innit?, with no further ado lets jump into it!

The mountain

Hi, im the main character of this story you can call me "Montanita". My mother said that out of all five children i was the easiest baby. I hardly cried, rarely fussed, and was generally sleep which i guess a good thing for her. As the fourth of five, she had a lot to deal with before she could get to me. So i made it easier for her and i kept doing it as i grew up. if one of my siblings dropped their ice cream, i'd give them mine so they'd stop making a scene. When someone had to seat in a middle seat, you can bet that's where my car seat would be strapped. My nickname was Montanita/little mountain. Because i was never moved, never bothered always calm. In seventh grade, i broke my leg but i didn't tell anyone for three days. I just gritted my teeth and hoped along until my dad found me crying on the bathroom floor. He took me to the hospital, and bought me a cast we couldn't afford. In highschool, my little sister Sofia was getting picked on by some boys, i pretended didn't see it happened, but that night i swithed out her too-small uniform skirt for mine. She stopped getting teased, and i wore pants for the rest of the year. When i got catcalled walking across the campus i just looked at the ground and a girl came up to me and offered to buy me a coffee i was sure she were making fun of me too, so i stayed quiet. Evantually, she flashed me that blinding smile and told me "Guess i'll take that as a yes then". I gave her my number and answered when she called.

 But as the months went on and things got more serious, she stared to get upset when i didn't tell her things. When i got fired from my part time job and started to skipping lunch to afford my textbooks. She were so mad when she figured it out. "Here! she yelled, shoving money at me. "Take it i dont need it! you know i have a scholarship, you know my parents send me money take the Goddamn money! I just stood there, when she noticed how stunned i was, she softened her voice. "Please it hurts me when to see you starving yourself please take the money". For the first time i talked back "why?". "Because i love you , you idiot" . I can't forget this moment . 

For the most time we dated, we never fought. Even when her friends tried to tell me that she cheated on me, i just stared at him didn't cry or yell or demand proof. He kept trying to convince me but i stayed so calm he evantually gave up and admitted the truth. Later she told me taht she couldn't believe how amazing i was. To trust you so much. Our marriage too, had a very few fights. if she didn't take out the trash like she said she would.I did it. When our children misbehaved i never raised my voice or screamed or make scene. I just asked them what they did, and evantually they'd cave. I figured i'd stay like i was , calm, quiet, peacemaker, nonreactive for the rest of my life.

But she changed that, jerk. When she died, it was like that frozen mountain of emotional outbursts inside me melted all at once. I started to screaming and sobbing at the funeral. It's a lot harder for me to stare blankly now an take things. Because i keep remembering she saying " Stand up for yourself! you deserve better! Mi amor." And she not here anymore to stand up with me or our kids. I was a mess for a year or two i think before i manage to get everything under control again.

But even now, i'm not like i was. i'm still calm, rational, and think befor speak. But if anything or anyone threatens our children or their happiness, i know i have to be the one to protect them. And as anyone whos gone mountain climbing knows, The serene snow covered peaks that looks so tranquill from a distance are the deadliest.

Whooo...thats a long one isn't it? How about the story? amazing right? oh btw the Bold and italicized sentences are my fav part of this story. Why? its because that's where his girlfriend told him she loves him, come on you must agree with that dont ya?

Ok next up...is my listening story! "The Greatest Treasure!" By Amit Garg. Lets hop into it!

Hello ! i'm peter. One day i found a treasure map i cheered, and i'm gonna find this treasure and have some adventure! I'm set off and walked a long way and finally reached the forest. There i met a Lion and i said " You are strong and courageous" "will you come with me on a treasure hunt?"  the Lion agreed and joined me. The forest was dense and dark, I was afraid but with Lion by my side i made it through.  Me and Lion finally reached the mountain, and we met Eagle. And i said " You have excellent vision, and can alert us from dangers! " will you come with us on a treasure hunt?" Eagle agreed and joined us. The mountain was tall and craggy, then Lion slipped. I was swift enough to give him a hand and pull him up. Eagle with his sharp vision, watched every step we took. Soon we reached the valley below where we met Sheep and i said "  Will you join us in our search for a treasure? And keep us warm when its cold?" Sheep the agreed and joined us. Then, a cold wind swept across the endless meadow. We all hudded against Sheep who kept us warm and cozy. We the four, finally reached the desert where we met Camel and i said " You are called the ship of the desert, will you help us get across and join the treasure hunt too?" Camel agreed. Three of us Me, Lion, and Sheep mounted Camel and set off happily across the vast desert with eagle enjoying the spectacle from above. Camel began galloping and everybody cheered in excitement. Crossing the desert on Camel's back was thrilling! We, the five finally reached the ocean, where we met Turtle and i said " can you help us cross the ocean? we are on a treasure hunt" and again Turtle agreed. The rough waves almost drown the party, but Turtle skillfully transported all of us except Eagle across.

And finally on the other side we met Owl. Owl spoke from his ancient wisdom "Congratulations, you have found the treasure." And i said "Where is it?" we all exclaimed in surprise. Owl said " Together you have passed the Forest, climbed the Mountains, dared the Valleys, Braved the desert, and across the Ocean, you would never had done it without one another" We all looked each other and realized that Owl was right. We had found FRIENDSHIP! indeed we had found the GREATEST TREASURE EVER! 

And that's the end of the story, as always th Bold italicized sentence are my fav part. i know it's a little bit childish, but c'mon its the best part tho right?

Yea, that's it for today....whooo it's a long one is it? haha but i'm pretty enjoyed it. So thanks for dropping by my task / report blog tho (again). appreciate it! and have a Lit day ya'll!
