Every year, the Joneses keep some frozen reserves to be able to distribute them at least for a few days to each of the people of Naranjas, an act that has earned them the affection of everyone. Live Jones, the youngest daughter of the family, is in charge of handing them out until they run out, she does it with a good attitude and even happily. But this family keeps a big secret, Live hates oranges, she dislikes their taste, their aroma and she has been eating everything all her life without a hint of orange. - @cira1964

He kicked the ball slightly to the left, as another boy ran close to him. He quickly reached the ball and kicked the ball back with his heel. Then with a fluid movement he had reached the ball and kicked it to the right of Koka. Koka had been inching right the entire time. As Evra celebrated the goal, Koka hit the post in dejection and went back home. - @diebitch

It’s surely an expensive one and a quality one. I love the color not silver and not even gold but just that cool ashes color. And the most beautiful thing I love is the Arabic numbering of the time on it. It reminds me of my love for the Arabic language. Most times people would look at it and ask me what kind of design it is, but I love it that way.- @abdul-qudus

That was my only wish.
Years went by, but my wish hadn’t come true. My childish heart was crushed at my prayer not being heard. I was disheartened at the thought that maybe I had been a naughty kid. That was why my wish wasn’t granted… until I eventually had forgotten about that wish as I became a teenager.- @idlemind

I looked at her surprised, thinking that the topic was sudden. She then repeatedly gave me a sideways look. I thought the conversation ended, it seemed she wanted to talk more. “I am curious though, why did you cheat on the exams, your one of the smartest students in class and you always had a decent high score.” - @vincric

The shed felt damp as she entered, the darkness inside broken only by the dim rays that fought their way through the scratched old panes of the small window, just managing to illuminate the eclectic collection of odds and ends her mother insisted upon keeping. "Keep a thing; its use will come’ she would say, but looking around her, Trudy couldn’t see much truth in this. What use was there for a two-legged chair, a bucket with a hole in it, or a chest of drawers with no drawers?- @deirdyweirdy
