XANTHRONS
THE PROPHECY of BATCH XANTHRONS It was the year 2027-the Reign of Technology in the world. The advancement of science has brought many changes. 75% of the world’s land is now industrialized. I sat in my lounge drinking champagne, pondering about my 30 years of existence in this world. I am currently working at the Chatham House, the Royal Institute for International Affairs as a Journalist. Having this job, I have ventured different places and met famous personalities leading the world. I was very fortunate to acquire a night’s stay at the Buena Vista Hotel, the highest skyscraper in the world designed by Architect Gilbert dela Serna as a gift to his wife, Mrs. Alyanna Kate Buenavista dela Serna, a world-renowned accountant and the owner of the most extravagant beach in the world where the sand is as fine as sugar, the Paradise Resort. As I was about to take a short nap, I was disturb by a phone call, the call was from none other than the most powerful owner of all Multimedia companies in the world, the newest chairman of Universal Studio, Disney, Time Warner and HBO, the Queen of All Media in the World, Madame Justine Faith Basilla. I was ordered to cover the Nobel Awards Ceremony to be held in Stockholm Palace designed by Architect Fedelf Niño M. Delfin located in Stockholm, Sweden. He was also the one who designed the Burj-Al-Arab Hotel branch in Sweden. I hurriedly drove to Xanthrons International Airport, one of the branches of NRP Airlines, the best airline company in the world offering first class services, owned by Captain Novie Rose Pelipog. As I arrived at the airport, I met a couple of foreigners speaking French. They asked me for directions, the problem is, I can’t understand them. I was at my wits end when a woman came and answered the foreigners. Thank God she was there. As I thanked her, I saw a glimpse of her face, it was quite familiar. Then her companion called her Deborah, that’s when I realized that she was Ms. Deborah Jane Bastida,

    But instantly I remember again, and with every stride comes an inch more of pain, making me yearn for the cool water to heal my burnt steaks. Seagulls scout for food, hurtling towards the magma if only for a taste of someone’s forgotten potato chip. My primas have already beaten me to the sea. They heave their bluegreen buckets with mustard yellow handles into the water, plunging salty mixture onto the land to fill the handcrafted moat that will protect their beloved sand princess from malicious criminals. Of course no castle is fit for a princess without twisty shells in an array of a tints and hues. I snag a glimpse of the other seemingly perfect castles around us, built with care in creating the ideal landscape, truly an architect’s paradise, but none compare. We romp in the sand for what seems like only a few minutes before my Abuela calls my name. She hands me a meal suitable for the engineer that I converted to that day. Spicy peppers and tomatoes scatter around my mouth before the cooling lime sensation mixes with the cilantro and carne asada paired perfectly with a tortilla de maiz. I gulp it down before she can say, “Despacito mijita.” And like all devoted grandmothers, passes me a glistening grape Fanta before I voiced I was…

    “Passengers flying Flight QF563, your gate is now open for boarding”, I peacefully sipped what remained of my coffee and waited for Joshua to finish his bacon and egg roll. Shortly after, we began to make our way to our designated gate. The smell of low-priced takeout food filled the air and couldn’t help, but leave me feeling overly excited. My son and I navigated our way through the clustered crowds of other keen travellers, following the signs above our heads as well as the announcements that were played through the speakers at the airport.…

    Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a portuguese presence in my life. When I think back on my childhood, I think of Maria. Up until I was in elementary school I thought Maria was somehow related to me; although I wasn't sure how. As I got older, Maria began to explain to me her roots. She told me how she immigrated to America from her small village in Portugal. Maria explained that she needed to move here in order to provide for her family. She was in search for the american dream for her family. She slowly began to incorporate her portugese ways into my life, whether it was portugese rolls with butter, portuguese soup or texting in portuguese. Although, I learned a lot from Maria I still never fully understood her culture. Portugal…

    Our blind date was late for 45 minutes; I started to get angry and annoyed, so I said ‘’ I knew it; this is why I hate online dating. I am leaving this stupidity.” In the same instant, she walked in, and the time stopped. It was the girl of my dreams, with big hazel eyes piercing through my soul. With her glowing skin, modest elegance and discrete makeup, she had style and glamour of classic Hollywood beauty. Simple five word ‘’ Hi, my name is Johana” made me feel as I know her for decades. In contradiction, Sergio and her sister Andrea left us almost immediately, as they didn’t have any mutual connection. The hours slipped by like seconds; we kept talking about countless subjects, oblivious of our surroundings; it turned out that we are like long lost twins reunited again. As we liked the same book (“The Forth Agreement”), food, sports, and even held the identical views on morality and…

    Xerxes was born a royal prince and would have had all the respect and prestige associated with his status. He was not the eldest son of King Darius I. Darius had three sons by another wife whilst he was still but a lord. For Darius to strengthen his calm to the Persian throne, Darius married Atossa , the daughter of Cyrus the Great. Xerxes was the eldest son of this union. This made Xerxes the son of the king, grandson of the founder of the empire and the son with the most royal blood. Herodotus recorded that Persian Males were educated between the ages of five and twenty.…

    My Literacy Narrative

    • 552 Words
    • 3 Pages

    My ‘hard’ work finally paid off.. The song’s had ingrained it’s lyrics into my mind like an indestructible root. A root that would soon grow into a tree of literacy. Like any other child, I learned to communicate and write simple things like my name. There were times when I just could not comprehend some of the longer sentences said. Triggered by this, I relied on myself to learn what I needed to learn, to feel like an individual. I expanded my horizons, trying my hardest to spell my sisters name, a challenge for me when I was younger. Around the age of five, my family gathered around me as I attempted at writing my sister’s name. It was a difficult one, eight letters long, but I managed it. At that moment, I felt like I was walking down the red carpet. It was such a big accomplishment for me, that I would not have been able to do without the practice. My family moved to France for a year, taking a liking by the French language and culture- but I think they were just into Paris’ scenery. I had never given any thought to other languages and cultures. Ashamed by my ignorance, my French lessons were valuable, to me. We made new family friends there and went to their house every once in awhile to eat French food and…

    It was the second day of second grade. I was on the school bus sitting next to my best friend when the bus suddenly halted, making a loud SCREECH. I looked out the window to see the reason why. There was a metro bus, green, long, and making me late to school. As I was staring at the bus and the line of people that seemed to stretch out for miles, one person, in particular, caught my eye. It was a woman she looked young, probably 19, but she looked foreign. Foreign to the average American, but not me. She reminded me of my aunt. She was wearing a lavish dark cloth carefully stitched with elegant embroidery that covered her whole body. I didn’t continue to think much of it as I began to play patty cake with my friend, but a few moments passed…
