Then another sound came from the corner. That was his alley. Jack stumbled down the alley into his open garage. There he found his dad tinkering in the garage with an old Moto Guzzi. He didn't even know that his dad had a motorcycle let alone such a beauty. The chrome of the V7 twin motor shined in the dark garage. His father looked up and smiled. He said,

"It's time to give it a rev."-

The story of Daryl: A quintessential bloke who fell in love with a sheila named Lola

It would have been polite at that point in the evening to describe Darryl as shit-faced, but the question gave him reason to pause. The question was one which should have made him shudder, but he didn’t. His eyes seemed to come to consciousness and he felt the hair on his legs stand on end. The metric he most commonly used to measure relationship was hours, and he’d never met a girl’s mother before. He wasn’t perplexed, and the haze of his drunken stupor was being replaced with an unknown clarity. Darryl looked back down at Lola, and respectfully kissed her on her cheek, whispering, ‘Absulutuly – I’ve neever wanteded anyfing more in me life’. - @lordtimoty

A Swordsman's Love Tribulation

“Wait, little sister…”
Douglas tried to stop his little sister but was unable to do so as he was caught off guard.
“Just let her go,” said a dignified-looking man. It was Count Donovan von Drake.
“But father, he’s a Lothar,” Douglas tried to argue.
“The conflict between our two families had gone for too long. In my opinion, whatever resentment left in that conflict should have been buried along with our predecessors,” the count explained. “I think the marriage between the two can become the bridge that connects the two families together.”

"Even though I pulled out the key, why did it turn on by itself?" Arif muttered.
Arif turned off the engine with his key and went back to sleep. After a few minutes Arif fell asleep, the motorbike started again and woke him up again. It was as if the motorcycle was screaming and begging to be ridden. Arif is very confused about this motorbike. Then he pushed it out and tried to ride.
When pulling the gas motor, Arif felt like he was on a Moto GP racing track. He pulled the gas harder and the bike went fast. This is the fastest motorcycle Arif has ever ridden. Even Valentino Rossi's motorbike is nothing compared to Mulyono's motorbike. Arif thinks Mulyono's spirit has stuck to his motorbike.- @radenkusumo666

SHOOK

Jallah took a breather at the side of the house, his heart still racing like mad. What had he done!? This was awful. He hated how he felt so weird. He couldn’t unkiss Phasey in Beeto’s house, and he wanted to smile like a moron and cringe at the situation at the same time! Not to mention he was going to have to go inside that barn full of maybe a hundred people, and answer questions about the game he’d worked on! He wanted to throw up! - @restcity

Summer Rain

“Oh, C’mon dear rain! Don’t be so chicken-hearted. Please come again, cheer me up,” justin pleaded.
Filled with an energy hebstill don't know where it came from, Justin decided to step out, surviving the customary curses from his mom for idling his time away in bed. Truth be told, the normal Justin would have stayed in bed till God knows when, but today something dragged him outside to explore the glimpses of rain.
The air casted a certain spell on him and he enjoyed the phenomenal beauty of flowers basking in the long lingering petrichor and leaves festooned with tiny drops. Justin jumped in the puddles causing mud splashes all over his dress. He kept asking himself where the energy he used in jumping up and down under the rain came from, but he just couldn't come up with an answer for this question. - @davidbright
