Read The Other Half Page 2


  The ALPHABET!!! ARGH!!!

  Aardvark with

  B lymphocyte

  Cytotoxin

  Deerstalkers do

  E-mail

  Fyke nets?

  Goodness gracious me

  Hung

  I think it's right

  Jungle of

  K-mesons,

  Leptons aren't they?

  Mesons I think

  No,

  Older

  Papers say different

  Queer it's

  Raven

  Samurai for

  Tea?

  Ugh boot

  Viatical settlements

  Well, I'll try

  Xylographic xylophone!

  Y-chromosomes

  Zucchetto done!

  Cat in the box

  A stray in a box

  That is how I found you

  Cold and alone

  Just like me

  So we became a family

  You brought me such joy

  Comforted me in my pain

  We grow old

  And now I lay you to rest

  In the same box I found you in

  Fortune Teller

  "Come, let me tell you your fortune

  Ah, I see?

  You are a shooting star

  Visiting worlds not your own

  Trying to find your way home

  Your journey is long

  But you must help those in need

  Help them

  Follow the stories through

  And you will surely find your way"

  The idea of love

  I never told her

  How I felt

  I think it was because

  More than her

  I was in love

  With Love itself

  I think

  It was the same for her

  Both of us

  Destined to be

  With each other

  But forever trapped

  Within a hopeless dream

  Neither finding true love

  Homebound

  At the start of the bus lane

  A woman gets off

  Scarred by her hopes and dreams

  She's come back

  Hoping to restart her life

  Not knowing how they will feel

  About her return

  And as the door opens

  Tears overflow

  Waiting all this time

  So she could return home

  The daughter of snow made whole

  Somewhere in the high mountains

  Lived a Man and his Wife

  Who were blessed with parenthood

  But only during the winter

  Their daughter of snow

  Their source of happiness

  Until summer came along

  But every year

  She became more and more whole

  Until she was no longer

  Made of snow

  The Other Half

  Desert eats away cities

  As ash continues to fall

  A lone man shelters near

  Hoping to live on

  This is the other half

  And for fifty years he must wait

  So that one day

  He can speak with her again,

  Laugh with her again,

  And tell her how he feels

  The Story of Portal Bree

  Portal Bree

  15 years old and with a power

  She could turn into any object

  Any object that wasn't alive

  So she decided to be a chair

  The only problem was?

  She couldn't change back!

  The stranger from another world

  Cannot help

  She must wait

  For a 'Tuesday' to come

  Rainbow

  "This is the world of rainbow

  You're welcomed to stay

  Here your dreams all come true

  And never shall there be a sad day

  But I see you seek your home

  And if that is true you must go

  Don't even look back once

  Your home lies beyond this rainbow"

  Goodbye my Gardener

  Without knowing it

  I became a gardener

  Sowing little seeds

  Within everyone

  Is something so beautiful

  It breaks your heart

  It is a flower called 'Goodbye'

  Waiting to blossom

  Without knowing

  I watered yours

  And you watered mine

  Until one day

  It blossomed into full bloom

  A flower called "Goodbye?"

  50 seconds left

  By the time Bob arrived

  There was only 50 seconds

  Before the bomb would go off

  Covered in sweat he analyses

  It's a simple trigger mechanism

  He needs to cut a wire

  But which one?

  Green or red?

  There's no time left!

  He needs to decide!!!

  Three?

  Two?

  One?

  Green?

  Man on the moon

  And the stranger from another world

  Came upon a man on the moon

  Sadness was in his smile

  And though he never spoke a word

  She kept him company

  They watched the Earth together

  As she longed for home

  So he sent her along the right path

  Smiling for real

  Sing me a song about life

  Deep in the forest of my mind

  A lone star that no longer shone

  Found me among my broken dreams

  Enchanted with our encounter the star spoke

  "Sing me a story about life"

  So I sung all my pains and joys

  Until morning came

  And the star was long gone

  Before the blinding twilight

  "Are you God?

  I seek my way home

  But I am lost!

  Your story scares me

  Please, tell me the way

  I fear I will not make it?

  The path I must walk is still long?

  There are others left to save?

  ?I will try

  If it leads me home?"

  Waking Guardian

  Deep within a labyrinth

  Lies an ancient ruin

  There wakes a princess

  From a thousand year sleep

  Trusted by the Past

  To save the Future yet

  Now begins her task

  To turn black ash to green

  For the Sun shines again

  Until then

  Humankind must sleep

  Until then

  They dream

  I am Man

  I am Man

  A god among beasts

  Yet you laugh at me

  You look down on me

  From your treetop homes

  I ask thee

  Who is it

  That can destroy your forest homes?

  Man or Monkey?

  Who can wipe out your kind without mercy?

  Man or Monkey?

  I pity thee?

  Purpose

  Hidden inside us all

  Must be a purpose

  A reason for and why

  Yet I cannot see

  Cannot hear

  What fate has in store for me

  Pain

  Joy

  Fear

  Shock

  Happiness

  Sadness

  Despair

  Hysteria

  I cannot join them up

  My theory is flawed

  For what purpose

  Was I born for?

  By your side

  Walking an empty str
eet

  I know you're by my side

  Lost in some world that isn't yours

  Found by someone who never was

  I'm sure you have a guide

  A task you must fulfill

  Bound by fifty promises

  In a land of despair

  But know this

  I'm by your side

  Conversations with Mum

  Watching films with Mum

  Is a big no-no

  She will ask the following question

  (Back to back)

  "Is he a ghost?"

  "Is he a robot?"

  "Is he an alien?"

  ?But I suppose I don't mind

  My conversations with Mum

  Are precious to me

  So really?

  I don't mind?

  "NO MUM!!!"

  White lies

  White lies

  Shining as bright as any star

  Star crossed lovers walk by

  With a love that never was

  I've said so many things

  That I no longer know the truth

  And as morning arrives

  I understand the cruel irony

  That my love was nothing more

  Than a white lie

  The dragon of the river

  The stranger from another world

  Happened upon a river

  Within its waters rose a dragon

  Fearful at first

  But the dragon rested gently near her side

  Long ago,

  Girls were sacrificed in its name

  Until one day

  The dragon fell in love

  Perhaps she resembled her

  As it remembered her

  An ill boy with headphones

  The boy had an illness

  That left him in pain

  But all he did was smile

  And pretend to be fine

  And in his sadness

  He met with a stranger

  Who came from another world

  She told him of another him

  And for the first time

  The boy felt alive

  Doppelganger

  The stranger from another world

  Met a stranger from this world

  As the two reflections met

  Outside of a mirror

  They spoke and laughed

  Envied each other's lives

  But they were truly birds of a feather

  Part of the same soul

  But soon they parted

  Each returning to their mirror

  Omega gate

  The boy called 'Karz'

  Lived outside the cosmos

  He was told

  "Never go through the gate"

  But one day he did

  And arrived to a river of souls

  "Ah, so this is the universe?" he spoke

  And he admired the sight

  And there he met her

  The girl called 'Starbringer'

  Fog

  "Miss?

  You have settled down here

  But you do not belong

  This is the world of fog

  A land that tricks and misguides

  This is not your world

  It is a convenient shadow

  You must journey on

  If you stay you will remain lost

  Your home lies beyond this fog"

  What I stepped on to get here

  I realise now

  You've waited long for me

  To show you love

  But I never did

  Never tried to

  Now I know why I'm on this journey

  Why my path is so difficult

  And unbearably painful

  What I've stepped on to get here

  Are the pieces of your broken heart

  What I wanted to tell you

  Audience to a musical

  Only to see you

  I waited in darkness

  Until you appeared

  I know I wasn't dreaming

  You were dressed in moonbeams

  And stardust galore

  There wasn't a spotlight

  Instead you shone

  Though awake, I wasn't sure

  Whether you were a brilliant snowflake

  Or a divine star

  I've found someone who looks just like you

  Lost in a world that isn't my own

  I found someone just like you

  Kind and gentle

  And burdened with pain

  I think he has waited for me

  For a very long time

  Fifty stories to guide me

  Send me back to my home

  Traveling through worlds not my own

  Again

  Time travelling Sue

  Lived in the past

  She lived in the same day

  Maybe the future was hopeless

  That she lived without time

  But a stranger from another world

  Showed her why

  She remembered about today

  Today, she found true love

  And so her heart- the time machine

  Beats again

  Naivety

  We were always together

  Inseparable in joy

  You smiled one time with sadness

  I was always unsure

  It was foolish of me to think

  I'd always be with you

  It wasn't until one day

  You disappeared from me

  And because of my naivety

  I never told you how I felt

  Everyday life

  I'd been saved

  By the same man

  But in different worlds

  Rain

  Rainbow

  Fog

  And the one who gave me these stories

  All so I could return home

  Back to my everyday life

  Just so I could

  Return to you

  And wonder what I could do

  For them

  For you

  Hello

  Fifty years waiting

  Finally the rockets land

  Is he here?

  Is he still alive?

  She's old and fragile

  Closing her eyes for a second

  She dies

  But someone wakes her

  She hadn't even left his side

  She smiles and finally lets out

  What she kept inside for fifty years

  ?Hello

  I can no longer find you

  Perhaps that is a good thing?

  I hope you made it back

  You see?

  I've spent half a century alone

  And now I found you

  You weren't the right one

  Fifty stories to guide you back home

  Now comes to an end?

  Hello? Goodbye?

  About the author

  "This is actually a sequel to my first short story book- 'Half a Century Alone.' This book follows the theme of parallels and tells a story of someone trying to find their way home. Of the worlds she travels, there is a woman and man separated. One saved and on a rocket, while the other must die a lonely death on the dying earth. We also meet forgetful someone's son, return to the sleeping guardian and meet parallels of the original characters from the first book.

  Pick it up, it's free as well, and like this one, it's fifty stories told in fifty words."

  For those who are tragically obsessed, Nobo13 was born 1987 in Cambridgeshire. He spent four years doing a Physics degree but spend most of the time doodling and writing. Currently he is training to be a Science Teacher.

  Nobo13's pen name is derived from using his surname, just look above! His more unusual hobbies are collecting headphones, staring aimlessly out the window (which consumes much of his time) and messing about with musical instruments- at the moment these are ocarinas and ukuleles.
