Odd Stories

Crazy people knocking on my door...

I don't know why they are knocking on my door.

Maybe they need me to enter a sweepstakes,

or maybe they're Jehovah's witnesses.

I don't care who they are but I know they're crazy

because I don't even own a door.

They're knocking and knocking, God's my witness.

May be I should let them in

but where would they sit

I don't even own any furniture

I don't have anything for that matter anyway

But that does not keep them from knocking

they are knocking my head off

what should I do to get them to go away

May be I should ignore them

that should solve this knocking nonsense

Well, if I don't have a door and they are knocking.

So what are these crazy people knocking on?

They are still knocking

but what is that smell?

I am just an ant trying to live my life

peacefully in this lawn

Oh! my God, it's the Exterminator!

The horrific hour: the loyal friend

Once upon a time:

There were two best friends from New Orleans, who came from a poor background and was going to the big apple to make something out of their lives. Little did they know that life will never be the same afterwards…

They were on their way to New York by bus, they were talking their plans out on how many jobs they were going to apply for, and hopefully get their big break in the long run. Jonas, and Jeremy were friends since elementary school, they had the same dreams to be one day very successful in whatever they set their minds to accomplish.

They were both nineteen, they finished high school and felt that New Orleans had nothing to offer them. As they did not have any aspiration to go to college or to be musicians, so their minds were set for the big apple.

Here they were, in NYC, with no money, no jobs, just back packs with another pair of change clothes, and a notebook. They stayed in a couple of subways in Manhattan, and Jonas the most inspired one, decided to create a character and sell it to one of those big TV networks. Hereon, their lives started to change for the better, or worse depending on the way you see life.

Jonas created this character based on the life of an old man he knew from growing up in the n.o. he never really took this old man seriously when he used to tell him tales of witchcraft, sorcery, and vampires, but he felt there was some potential that could come out of these stories.

He brought the old man’s stories to life. He wrote a playwright, and he even designed the old man’s portrait. This old man’s name was tonton Marcel. He was dark skinned, with grey hair, with a face that has seen pretty much everything the world could bring unto his door steps. He was so old; he walked with a Cannes, and always wore a hat. He was well known by the neighborhood, every one respected him, he was one of those old men who never grew tired to give advice to youngsters or never too busy to tell kids a story of his past, full of life and adventures, stories that everyone thought was make believe, in reality, were very truthful.

Jonas became very successful by selling the stories to one of those big networks; he received his cut and invested some in stocks, bought a house in upstate NY, and totally dismissed his buddy Jeremy. As if he had never known him.

Jeremy could never find a job, it seems almost as if he had bad luck written all over him. Until one night as he was looking for a spot to fall asleep in central park, he saw an apparition of tonton marcel. He thought he was going crazy, he could not believe what he was seeing but it was as real as the plastic bags he carried with him everywhere he went. He was in total shock and asked tonton marcel what was wrong with him and how did he make it to NY.

Tonton marcel told him to not worry about how he made it to NY but what he is there to tell him. Tonton marcel told him about the stories, he used to tell them as they were kids, and he warned Jeremy to find Jonas to tell him to take the story back from the network he sold it to, or his life will be a living hell literally. Jeremy could not understand why. But he was the good natured and patient one, so he made it his mission to go to Syracuse where Jonas lived since his newfound fortune to warn him of this bad business. Jeremy begged in the city for two days until he made enough money to go see Jonas. Once he made it to Jonas’ doorsteps, he knocked and a maid opened the door for him, he asked the maid to see Jonas immediately. But the maid took almost what seems to be an eternity to take her stare off Jeremy to go get her master. She let him in after Jonas gave her the go ahead. And there Jeremy was, face to face with his childhood friend that made it and now he was about to tell him to take it all back or else.

Jeremy was never jealous of Jonas; he was never upset at Jonas for not taking him along. He was just waiting patiently for his big break but he had to put one foot in the door to do so, which Jonas did. In fact, he was happy for him at least one of them made it, he would say to himself at night under the stars.

Jonas greeted him, and they started to talk about everything and anything until Jeremy broke the news to him. Jonas told him that it was absurd; there was no way he would do such a thing. This old man has been dead for years, how can Jeremy of all people see him in central park? Jonas accused Jeremy of being jealous of his success in life. Jeremy told him, that he was not making this up, and tried numerous times to convince Jonas with no success. So Jeremy left and went back to NYC. As he was making his way back to the central park one night, he saw tonton marcel again, this time he acted as if he did not see him, and went on about finding a spot to fall asleep.

Tonton marcel followed him and said: "it’s okay Jeremy, I know you can see me, and I know that you went to Jonas and delivered the message for me, and for your loyalty use these numbers in the New York lottery tomorrow and you shall receive your rewards for your hard earned services." Jeremy was speechless. He just took the piece of paper that had the number written on them from tonton marcel and as swift as the wind, tonton marcel disappeared.

Jeremy could not wait, the whole night, he was thinking about what he could do with this money if it was for real…he grew restless so he open his back pack and took the notebook he wrote his plans on ten years ago, when he was on his way to the big apple with his friend jonas, he opens the notebook and went over those plans again. There were only five wishes and they were:

Wish one: to go back to n.o. and buy my mom a house

Wish two: to open a center for kids with aids in New Orleans

Wish three: to open up a center for senior citizens for their entertainment

Wish four: to buy a house for me and Jonas

Wish five: to donate my time to volunteer work in homeless shelters.

It was so long ago, when he wrote this, and started to tear a little at the thought that he could possibly get to realize some of those wishes. So, he finally fell asleep peacefully.

First thing in the morning, he got up and went to the nearest convenience store, he applied the numbers that were given to him by tonton marcel to the lottery ticket and bought those numbers. Jeremy waited patiently outside an electronic store to run the NYC lottery ticket winners for the day. Hours went by, and it started to get darker, and at last, the announcer read off his ticket numbers to win the mega million dollars lottery. Jeremy was so happy and so calm, at that instant he started to cry. He could not stop crying. Passersby saw him and laughed at him, but he did not budge, he was crying because he knows exactly what he was going to do with all that money. He had a plan.

Jeremy became richer than most hard working people in the entire world in one day. He carried out his plan; he realized all of his wishes.

Ten years later... as he is volunteering in one of those homeless shelters, he spotted Jonas in the last clothes he saw him in ten years earlier. Without a second thought, he went to attend to Jonas, he hugged Jonas and told him how much he missed him all these years, Jonas was 39 now, he went to the big apple, realized his dream but never helped another soul, came back crawling into his hometown after he lost his house, he lost his stocks, he lost every thing he had ever own, and was pushed to go back to new Orleans or he could face jail time. So there he was 20 years later with nothing to show for.

Jeremy took him aside, as if nothing had ever happened before and told him that they had a house together, he was waiting for him to finally make it home.

Twin flames: we all have one

Once upon a time,

There was a girl named Rose who came from the Caribbeans to live in the states with her mother. Three years later, she decided to join the military because she thought she would get better opportunities after joining. Well, she had her fair share as she joined the military she became very tough, and quiet. Although, she had that baby face, the one that makes you think that she is only fifteen and her place should not be in the military. Au contraire, she proved every one of those people what she is made of. She is a hard working, proud, intelligent, and courteous young lady. She got stationed overseas where she met Jerome, the first guy she felt something strange about, something she could not pinpoint yet. Though, she felt necessary to keep away from him, because she felt that he was a little too nice to people that were being mean to him, she felt as if he did not respect himself enough to become such a doormat. may be he had some self esteem issues but she soon found out that Jerome was not only nice to people that were mean to him but he was also mean in his own ways too. He was the first guy to advise her on what to watch out for. She had that bittersweet feeling about him. From reading this, you would think they would become best friends, sorry to bust your bubbles, no, in fact they hated each other, they were each day at work at each other’s throat sort of speak.

But as the months went by, there were news that they were chosen among other soldiers to get deployed to the Middle East. Well, they had to be a little nicer to each other because they were going to carry weapons on a daily basis. No one wants to see anyone trying to kill their own. Once, they were out there in the middle east, their fury against each other started to die out, they started to talk, and found out that they were not so different from each other after all, they soon became friends, they told each other secrets, things that they would normally never tell a soul, not even their best friends, they felt at ease to let go of their pride and confide in each other. Everyone felt something was to come out of that relationship, but Rome and Jerome were not, or may be, they were forcing themselves to believe that they were not catching feelings for one another. Before you know it, it was time for them to go back to their duty station, they were friends, and they were secretly growing feelings for each other.

Meanwhile, Rose had a boyfriend at the time too. For some reasons, she always had boyfriends, but Jerome had a girlfriend since high school and since then, he just dated girls, never had one on a regular. Throughout the year after they returned from the Middle East, she went on vacation to the states and she brought Jerome some stuff back because she was honestly thinking about him the whole time she was in the states with her mother and family.

She could not comprehend how fast she was catching feelings for Jerome. She had boyfriends; she never really fell head over heels for them. Jerome knew how to make her feel special and that is what all women are after. A guy that makes them feels distinguished out of all the other women. They were emailing each other on a regular basis, but none of them consented to have feelings for one another. Until, Jerome was being deployed again, and Rose had to stay behind because she had medical complications, which was good for her because she took this time away from her current boyfriend and Jerome to analyze what was really going on in her life. She asked friends and other co-workers for help. Although, she knew what she had to do, she had to make sure that her feelings for Jerome was reciprocal, she emailed about her daily activities, and they soon started to confess their feelings for one another. In fact, they were falling for each other.

Undoubtedly, Rose ended her relationship with her then boyfriend so she could innocently start a fresh loving relationship with Jerome, the guy that made her forget herself, the guy she was going to share her life with, the guy she never thought she could even have a friendship with let alone a romantic relationship. Well, they were truly in love; no one could ever question that. There was a weird chemistry in between them. They were odd characters involved in an even relationship, if you want to call it that.

When he finally came back from the Middle East again, they were twenty three, at least Rose was and they were ready to take their correspondence relationship to the next level. They were madly in love. They were so passionate towards everything they did together to the point it became scary. They have a lot of energy, a lot of potential together but they let their personalities get the best of them at times. May be they rushed too soon into the relationship, may be they should have stayed friends for a little bit longer and see what exactly they were both embarking into. For either one of them, the places that their relationship was going to take them, was unavoidable. there was no way to tell, love could turn into something so dark and back again into something so pure and back into the seven circles of hell, and back to nothing… It did not start as a typical loving relationship because all they did was fight over childish stuff, like why you said this to this person and spent nights away from each other so they could cool off. Even in the middle of some nights, they would go and reconcile with each other so they could spend the rest of the night together. Some people call this, craziness, I call it, passion.

They were passionately in love with each other but there was something about their personalities…they were total opposites and opposites attract. Some days they could not stand the presence of the other and some other days they could not keep away from their twin flames. Yes, I called them twin flames because that’s what they were to each other…they know what could tick or make the other smile but for some reason, it felt better to them to tick more than causing the other to smile. They never thought they could possibly fall out of love for each other, well watch out for what you wish for…because they never could. They tried as time went by; they felt like they had to move on with different partners, their friends pushed them into the arms of people they thought was the perfect match for them. they gradually started to lose feelings or may be they allow people to think that they were losing feelings for each other…they felt that they had to, they persuade themselves to forget each other but what they did not know is they were meant to grow old together, and they were to meet again in their thirties…

Thirty two to be more exact, they will meet at the beach while he is at the bar with a dozen of his friends, and her, reading a book while listening to the waves of the ocean, creating their own music so irresistible to the ears of Rome…she loves this kind of stuff, to think that they lived in the same city for nearly a year now, and never laid eyes on each other but today is the day to open their eyes and see what they’ve been missing out on for so long.

Rose is the type of girl, who is very reserved, very intelligent, very quiet and unassuming, very beautiful in her own quirky way…she can make quite an impression on any man, making them think that she can be a dominatrix by night and a geek chic by day because she has the body and the figure…she could have never looked better in her thirties, she looks as if she has been working out, then again she is a military girl, a smart one at that, so she stays fit mentally and physically. She looks very drawn into the book that she was reading and out of nowhere Jerome fell on her; first reaction is: "what is wrong with you? Someone is sitting here", but Jerome was really tipsy and was not really paying attention to where he was stepping, he had the sun in his eyes, and kind of tripped over onto her while she was so comfortably seated in one of those beach folding chairs…he was supposedly on his way to find his chair by the beach to stare into the ocean…I call this fate by the way… at first, they did not recognized each other, but there was something strangely intense while they exchanged looks, it took them at least thirty seconds to break eye contact. And Jerome called it: "Rome is that you?" She looked more closely and there he was standing… the love of her life, she could not believe it, Jerome was standing, right there in front of her in person…she did not know what to feel, thank god she was seated because she was so close to passing out, she could not believe her eyes, and she finally recovered her senses, and replied: "oh my god, Jerome, it’s been awhile, how have you been?" And you know when those two met again it was going to last a lifetime, no friends, families, alter ego or other people in their lives could come in between them…it was magic, it was the magical time.

They were meant to be together forever at 32 not at 23…don’t ever give up on someone you feel you still have this passion, this burning feeling long after they are out of your life, chances are they will come back into your life again and when they do you will be better equipped to give in your whole and all to it. You can easily lose yourself to that person because you will know for a fact they are your twin flames.

Before they met on that sweet day by the beach, they learned an awful lot about themselves through the years, for instance, they learned that no one could love them as the other did, and they could not love anyone else like they loved one another. They had to meet again. their love for each other had never died, no matter how many people they had in their lives since, no matter how many years they spent apart, once they had found each other again it was like finding their missing link. They had an eternal connection. They were meant to be together forever!

twin flames: in contrast to the term soul mates, twin flames are a more passionate, burning feeling for someone you’ve known, you have yet to meet, or are now in a relationship with them because it is inevitably the last stage to this. Twin flames are very different from soul mates, you can either choose to love and stay with them no matter what because your heart summons them, or you can choose to live your life without them in it and feel miserable for the rest of your life.

Twin flames are your other carnal half, you do not know why you feel so drawn to this person even though; they rub you the wrong way at times. You can’t live with them and you cannot live without them sort of speak, because the energy between you two is so strong that you don’t know how to use it to your own benefits, once you do, you guys will create wonders together. Perfect age to meet your twin flames should be while in your thirties. Then you are mature, and you have pretty much explored all of your carnal desires. By then, you know exactly what you need in your life and what you have been missing.

Once you guys meet for the first time, you will feel nervous around each other because you feel like they know something you haven’t told them yet. You may either hate their guts in the beginning or love to be around them, regardless of how you feel about them in that first phase, there is something deep inside that draws you to them but you are unwilling to acknowledge right away.

There is a connection in between you two. No matter how hard you guys try to fight it, it will still be within you. We all have only one twin flame, one soul mate, or one life partner; the twin flame is the one that will resurface in your life at a later time because you guys will end up with each other one way or another. Only if you have never met then you have a chance to either end up with your soul mate or life partner, but once you’ve met and made the connection it’s eternal, you will always find your way back together.

First thing you will feel is that you cannot control how you feel about them, everything you try to hold back, you end up hurting yourself, you always feel the urge to reconcile, and you can’t keep from crying every time you get to the serious conversations. Bottom line, you will never feel this way toward any one else you might fall for down the line. They touched your soul and your heart; no one can ever do that but them.

Rose was reminiscing about her life with Jerome, how many kids that she always wanted with him and now she will finally be able to complete her life, with her beau Jerome.

The End...
