Creative writing piece -The inevitable war

   When people in the old days told stories about Dragons, the green man, fae and lilith I thought they were just that stories. Now over 2 millennia later all those stories are true. It was the fear behind their names that brought them back into the radar of mass hysteria.
    One day you would see children playing in the field or going to school, the next they would be covering inside their crested homes hoping that their families wouldn't be next.
    Though our family would be an exception to this as always we are. Most families would be terrified and gossiping about forgotten myths. Whereas our, well ours would be training for the inevitable war. This was the war that had been the whispered prophecies for many years past since the first seer, Adam (youngfellow the open minded), had set his first thoughts on this deserted landscape of which we now all call home.
    Our family was one of the last seers in all magical existence. It is said that the child of the last king of fae and it's kinsman folk will rise from the swamps of Jagdhara with more than just the all seeing eye they will have powers of the elements telekinesis, mind control as well as the gift of healing. That child will marry one like Lilith and rule over all existence and will defeat all dark being. Though dark by mindset not by race. 

The British "Summer /Barbeque"

   Everyone knows that in England the summer weather only lasts a couple of weeks and you should never plan a barbeque for the following week because the weather forecast will let you down more times than Angelina Jolie has kids (That's six for any of you Brangelina fans you by being fans you should have known that already).
   So during this "Summer" my next door neighbours decided to have a barbeque with some mates. So it's boiling hot and I was sitting in my back room. They had started putting some meat on the grill when out of nowhere the heavens opened. I couldn't help but snicker. Little had I relaised as a true brit would do, they quickly put up a marquee around the barbeque. It be raining but it was still hot and that will never stop a british barbeque. 

So let that be a lesson to all non-british people out there;
  • Never trust a weather forecast that goes for longer than 6 hours.
  • Always prepare for the chance of rain even in a drought or heatwave.
  • And finally never underestimate how far a Brit will go for the chance to light up their twice used 8 year old barbeque.

More wheels than a double decker bus

   At the moment most of my close friends are in relationships and some of them are just having one nightstands. But, I am one of the few singletons in our group for friends. So I often 'third wheel'. However, my friend Bry is in a relationship, my friend Elizabeth at the time was in a relationship as well as my friend Annie was in a relationship as well. So I, the single pringle, sat there with my friends and their boyfriends eating lunch and talking. This is when I started to wonder 'Does this really count as third-wheeling? It is more like seven-wheeling. My friend group at that moment in time had more wheels to it than a Double Decker Bus.
    So when I use the phrase 'third-wheeling' it is never literally for that number. Or in fact literally at otherwise you would end up with a car like the Robin Reliant from The Only Fools and Horses. 
     I've heard that in some American Dinner's they actually have 3 seating booths which is quite good until it gets to eating. Especially if they do the whole 'Lady and the Tramp' meatballs escapade  and the fact is that a string of spaghetti has only two ends not three.
   

Rainbow Trout in the Thames

How could I choose one person in a whole world of choices. Though to narrow it down for me, let's work it out.

  • At 100% is all of the people over 16 and under 25 for a person like me who are not family because i'm not one of the characters from Game of Thrones .
  • 50% of that are women and I like the opposite sex as much as you are insured that Bridget Jones is wearing her comfy granny pants.
  • 10% that from that 50 are gay or count 
  • 10% are married or are in a sort of relationship.
  • 5% are popular people who would not look at me.
  • 5% are popular people who would bully me or have bullied me.
  • 10% are people around the world in countries I would never visit.
  • 7% have already rejected me or have parted ways with me.

So in this world with 'plenty more fish in the sea'. I am limited to only rainbow trout in the thames estuary. I have a choice of 3% and I will only meet about 0.0002% of those men.

So when thinking with that formula added to my thoughts why is it that 3 men should come along at once?

The hesitation kiss

     You know when you're about to leave a person's presence and you have already said the million "well, I've got to go" 's and "Bye then" 's. You then sometimes lean in for the "either or " kiss the 'hesitation kiss'.
     This is when you go to lean in for a kiss on the cheek slightly slow. This becomes a kiss that you end up not knowing if that is a kiss a friend like a "moua" kiss, yet it may be a bit too overt as a friend. However, you could still use this to kiss a person whom may be more than just a friend, by hoping for them to just turn their head into a full kiss.
