Urasekai Picnic

I Can't Marry You....

Shalom park has always been a center of attraction. Known for its beauty, serenity and energy, people flock there everyday to take pictures, have picnic or just sit around enjoying the smell of the blooming cherry blossoms. Karina, a beautiful young lady sat under a purple Jacaranda tree, gazing up to the sky with loneliness and melancholy oozing from her. It was around noon and the sun was nowhere to be seen, instead the clouds condensed as if welcoming the arrival of a rain. "Looks like it's going to rain." Karina said to herself which sounded almost like a whisper. "How I wish it could wash away the pain I feel right now." She sighed. The sky rumbled, confirming the presence of an incoming rain. Karina stood up, packing her bag and prepared to leave but stopped suddenly after taking five steps. She stood there till the rain began. It started as drops but soon increased and within no time, Karina was soaked. She stood under the rain for about 8 minutes, shaking and sneezing continuously. Passers-by looked at Karina with strange gazes but went their way without approaching her. Tired of standing, she crouched and shivered like an animal hiding from its predator. After a while, footsteps echoed in the rain, getting clearer and clearer until it stopped beside Karina. The footsteps belonged to a young man who covered Karina with his suit and shielded her from the rain with his umbrella. Having bent for long, Karina had a hard time standing and could only stand with the help of the young man. "It's you!" After having a clear look of his face, Karina exclaimed. "Yes, it's me but what on earth are you doing in the rain like a kitten abandoned by its owner?" He questioned confusedly. With a bitter and lonely smile, Karina asked "You think so too?" *"I Can't Marry You...."*

The Lost Sock Society

"Welp-... I really hope nobody saw that..." "....It's an explosion...." The man beside him cleared his throat, "There were no casualties... Everyone is outside.... I made sure of that...." Crane huffed at his boss, turning around, agitated; he stormed down the mountainside he had been peacefully enjoying his picnic on. He had planned a vacation for himself as a reward for keeping up with his boss and after five failed (disastrous) attempts at escaping, he finally had the chance to go on a picnic, just for a day. But that was fine as long as he could get some peace. That's what everyone told him. He had been merry on his way, looking for a quiet place to spend his evening when he happened to stumble upon the gorgeous hill. "Anyway,did you enjoy your picnic, Crepe...?? The excited boss asked, chasing after him. Crane huffed for the umpteenth time this evening, "One day... Just one fucking day is all I ask for.. and for God's sake, it's Crane, Leonard...." "That doesn't answer my question, dear Crepe.. Tell me, did you enjoy your evening??", Leonard asked in a sing-song voice that had a nerve pop in Crane's head. "Boss, how do you think my evening went with you dropping out of nowhere, that too, with a fucking explosion...??" Leonard grinned mischievously, like a child who had been caught red-handed. "Where are we going now...???" Crane questioned in a sad voice that widened the amused smile on Leonard's face. "Awww..... Don't worry, Crepe..... You will love it..... You trust me, right??" Leonard comforted him with an uncanny smile. With a gulp, he looked towards his psychotic boss whose smiling face had turned into a creepy grin. Shivering he looked towards the sky with a face that held unmistakable agony and that is how Asst. Officer Crane submitted to his fate, that busy evening, only to be seen again after ages. Alas!! this was just one of the many common nights at The Lost Sock Society.....

[P.S: This is my first time trying to write this kind of genre. I think of it as trying to try a new genre and try to sometimes unwind from my other novel.

So, I hope you readers would use more carrots to cheer me on instead of using the stick to beat me.....please.....
