Stitched 'X'

The doll lay down on the floor with its deep diamond aquatic eyes, placed on a pile of clothes as I folded them while sitting down. Something about it was deep, I thought. Until I heard someone or something step inside the room. Then I heard a mediocrely heavy door shut, thinking that it was on its own at the time without using context. The one who shut the door was a man that I knew who was doing his best to stand tall. In fact, maybe as the tallest in the room. As soon as I tried to greet him back into our home, my heart felt heavy. When I tried to open my mouth, even a peep... I felt something familiar as if my heart was about to ache. I couldn't speak, and my heart had started aching. Afraid, not wanting to tell my partner, I had remembered the promise I made to him. So I told him everything and when I did, my breath was shallow, and my heart was hurting again. Although, he looked down on me from his height when I stood up. He didn't want me to say a word to him like usual....

How to maintain your senior dog.

 So from what I searched from the internet, Microsoft's Search Engine (SE), Bing, "What dogs require to live a long time" and here's what I got. From PetMD , titled "21 Longest-Living Dog Breeds", says on a list, 1. Chihuahua. Life expectancy: 14-16 years. ..." I'mma stop right there. I have an 11-year-old senior chihuahua. If you want to know more about the list, click the link in the text.  #Bluehyperlink, thanks.  Chleo is the name of my dog. I've been trying to change it to Cleo, short for Cleopatra but no matter the case, it's always going to be Chleo. This is her: I believe she's young, healthy, and I'd like to keep my senior dog young forever! T.T, nothings impossible! Anyways, because she is a chihuahua, one mixed with wiener dog. I don't know if that makes a difference but maybe it does to prevent complications. No boast. She cries when my family and I leave for a vacay, I hear that she cries or even howls. Now, she crie...

Crossroads Lost

Already, I was in my UPS uniform. The person on the desk saw me in my uniform and told me to organize a pile of postal notes and boxes. Which I did, pleasantly sorting them as the notes would be put on the walls with different colored arrangements. I had the urge to decorate more but I knew maybe not here where this is an open space where I'd be interrupted anytime. When I looked back, no one was at the front desk, and at the same time saw someone enter the shop. Quickly, I rushed into the backrooms where I thought the employees would be. No one was around the lunch room, offices, or restrooms. I peeked out the backrooms and there was a line of unattended customers until I looked at the desk and a woman with bright blonde hair who rang up a customer. Gladly, rest assured because today was my first day of work. Yet, I don't know anyone. I stand there cluelessly grinning as some of the customers glance at me. The blonde hair lady glanced at me and wording from her red lips to ...
