The other Side.

I'm going on hiatus for two weeks or so.
Going to be mugging for my upcoming papers.
Can't wait for them to be over.


Here's a bedtime story for A levelers. Enjoy.


He, is an adventurer.
After a plane crash, was stuck on Meridian island.(did I make it seem so bad)
An island, unknown to him, foreign at every glance, and definitely not desirable.

He, ain't Indiana Jones nor Captain Jack Sparrow.
He, doesn't have powers like Superman, nor gadgets like Batman, nor a rich-kid suit like Ironman.

He, needs to get out of this island.
By any means possible, he will find a way out.
This, is his destiny.



He is...The JC Student.


He has already ventured passed the oceans and made it through the dense forest.
Our courageous adventurer sees a tinge of light coming from the end of the cave.
Could this be the hope that he was looking for?
Is this the end of the torment and trauma?
Could this indicate the end of his 2 year torture on the island?

With all the strength that's left of him, he crawls through the small opening out of the cave.
But his smile transformed into a frown immediately after he got out.

Why??


He saw a bridge.
Not an ordinary bridge.
A dangerous, rocky and unstable bridge.

There are wooden planks.
Planks that creak the moment our brave adventurer sets foot on them.
But he doesn't give up.


Because, across the bridge, there is something worth dying for, something worth risking your all for, something which meant everything to any adventurer who went through the two years of torture.

F-R-E-E-D-O-M

Now, all that our heroic adventurer has got to do is to cross this bridge.
And the power-packed action movie will be over.
(that's supposed to be a sad thing but, oh wells)


Each step our mighty adventurer takes on the life-risking, heart-stopping bridge, he makes sure he doesn't panic.
One wrong move and the wooden plank he's stepping on will collapse.
He hangs on to the rope he's holding when he trips and falls, because it's not over till he has crossed over to the other side.
"Don't fall now," he tells himself. "I ain't gonna let the current sweep me away."
He'll make it.


Dear adventurers who have suffered in torment for the past two years and are eagerly crossing the bridge to freedom,
We're THIS CLOSE to the end of the journey.
We'll make it.
To the other side.
