I hope you and your children cease to exist

Once again, another battle scheduled for the day. It will be a largely boring affair, with one side feeling much more perturbed than the other. One is programmed to win, the other is destined to let lose.

Hello, mosquito.

Savage flighty mother of young prickly demons. Softly you maneuver your god-damned way around my space, you gesture and gestate, seeking me out. You are there, but I cannot see you. In my anger I stand, legs shoulder width apart and await you. My binocular vision fails me eventually, but I continue to try, time and time again.

You black and white, sick bitch. Who gives you the right to take from me? Who told you you could make yourself at home at the place I sleep? The place I'm supposed to find my inner peace and what-not. I wish to rest: to lie down my head and burrito myself into my blanket, but I'm afraid you'll kiss me on the cheek. Make me a oily, ugly Pikachu with one red dot instead of two.

Oh god help me. Oh if... if...

If I were Pikachu I'll fucking thunderbolt the life out of you. I wish all death upon you. I curse your name, whatever name you have. I curse your children, and your children's children!

OH VILLAINY! OH CRUEL FORSAKEN WORLD!

THERE IS NO GOD. there is no god. THERE IS NO GOD!






I find the quiet. Hours spent setting up traps, shifting my eyes from void to void. I see nothing here, yet here you are, no evidence of your being apart from the little red patches on my body. You seek to share my life, but I desire to take yours away.

I wonder if you feel the same. I wonder if you believe this a game, or if this biological need of yours is the only thing that drives you.

Stay in the shadows, be my most cruel inner voice. You have brought me to the first steps of insanity.
You are a prick in the finger that has weighed too heavily on my mind.

Fuck you.

Thematic Summary of The Star by H.G. Wells

H.G. Well’s wrote The Star in 1897, but apocalyptic/disaster fiction had already existed for thousands of years. Well, the authors didn’t think they were writing fiction, but nevertheless, they were still writing speculative ‘non-fiction’. A quick Wikipedia look-up on Google will tell you that hundreds of seers have prophesized the end of mankind. Unfortunately, fortunately, they have all been wrong! Yet, these countless predictions prove a point about our very own human nature: many of us have fetishized the ‘end of the world’. Christians call it the rapture. Vikings called it Ragnarok. Others called it the Apocalypse. All these stories about our eventual end on this earth have a common thread: there is some greater reason for our end to occur – most of the time, it involves the triumph of good over evil. This is where The Star differs in its narrative. Instead of focusing on some grand narrative of good gods achieving a final victory over the forces of evil, it sticks to d...

Thematic summary of When It Changed by Joanna Russ

Joanna Russ’ When It Changed centers on a human society made entirely up of women on a planet called ‘Whileaway’. The human colony is void of men because of a plague that occurred thirty generations ago. The females that remained after the plagued managed to survive without the males by a process that sees the merging of ova. This allowed women to reproduced with women, taking away the need for penetrative reproduction and thereby making redundant the role of men in the human reproductive cycle. The story begins when four Russian astronauts arrive on Whileaway. All four of them are male, which makes them the first 4 men that have set foot on the planet in hundreds of years. Their arrival has a profound effect on the women they meet, and we see this effect from the perspective of Janet, a thirty-four-year-old woman that is married to Katy, with whom she has three children. Upon meeting the four men, Janet is immediately taken aback by their physical size – “They are bigger than we ar...

Inheritance [Balli Kaur Jaswal]

I really shouldn't attempt to write this... as if this were an assignment due on Monday. It isn't, so I shall not.  Two days - it took me this to finish my first SingLit novel, as far as I can recall.  It was about a family who goes through tough times. This family was Sikh. This family was Singaporean. This family felt, for a few heart-wrenching seconds, like my own.  Dalveer and Harbeer have three children: Gurdev, Narain, and Amrit. Karam is Harbeer's nephew, but he doesn't get to be a narrator in the story, so, screw him. Also, he's an asshole.  We see their story unfold over a period of twenty years - this is paralleled by Singapore's own growth as a nation. We see the effects of rapid industrialisation on the nascent city state, and we begin to identify some of the more... unspoken problems faced by its people. In its endeavour to grow, advance, burgeon -- people, genuinely good people, are left behind. In our  struggle for success, the few am...
