Story Writing

Write a story starting with the line below:
Sam turns off the light immediately. 


Sam turns off the light immediately. The room went dark in spilt of second. He hides in the shadow and keeps as quiet as he possibly could. Even he tries to calm himself down, his heart still beating furiously against his rib. His eyesight is totally useless since its midnight now and the light is off. Probably a few minutes passes, he starts let to his guard down, but as soon as he let out a breath he is holding for who knows how long, something flickers just few feets in front of him. He knows that he need to fence himself. Then, he heard sound of crumpled plastics which he assumes that's a mistake the person trying to take him have done, or probably the person just wanted to provoke Sam into a fight. Just then, Sam can feel that the person is just by his side.

3 days ago, Sam had encountered a man who was supposingly age around 30, Thomas, Thomas directly told him that he were there to arrest him for a crime that happened at least a week ago. At first, he was startled by the statement, but soon enough he knew that it was a trap. Despite listening to Thomas, he fled. And he had been avoiding the public and hiding from the world and living in the shadow until now.

The person who had followed him into this room, is Thomas.

He embraces his own strength and uses his instinct to determine exactly where is Thomas standing, and shoved his arm to Thomas's face. He hits right in his face which make him hype up to face off Thomas. Thomas groans and fights back. He punches Sam and kicks Sam's thigh hard. Sam tries to balance himself and stumbles back. Thomas then shoves his arm up but Sam manages to dodge it, barely. But he didn't sees Thomas leg coming in and he falls hard on his back. He quickly rolls over to a side before Thomas strikes. He quickly pull himself up and clenches his fists and waiting to brace another incoming strike since he now lost track on Thomas. Even if his eyes are starting to get use to the darkness, nothing seems to help in this situation. Before he could do anything to defence himself, something strike hard on his back of his head and he feels dizzy and drop to the ground yet again. Before he loses his consciousness, he saw a glimpse of the outline of Thomas.

He don't know how long he is out, but his head feels heavy and dizzy. He struggles to open his eyes and surveys his surroundings, but he couldn't make out anything that's logical with his not working brain and useless eyesight which could not adjust in different intensity of light in this situation. Then only he realises that he could barely move. Soon he finds out that he was strapped by heavy chain on a very quite broken chair.

As he is fighting his sleepiness out of him, he heard voices, a familiar voice which he longed to hear. But his face has gone all white and pale as he makes out what the voice was talking. His soul seems to be gone and he was all blank in the moment.

"Sam, you've done everything you need to, and you've done indeed, a very great job. You should bear in mind that father always loves you no matter what happens. But its just a little different this time. Ave atque vale, farewell my boy..."

Trip to Royal Floria Putrajaya

#20160604

Went to Putrajaya with family yesterday.

Putrajaya is pretty. Not really much car. But as soon as we reaching our destination, the road started to fill with cars and the way in was having a serious traffic. I saw many people parked their cars alongside the road on the bridge reaching Presint 4. That was so impressive because according to GPS, they needed to walk about 500m and more to reach the ticketing booth.

After my dad found a parking slot, we went to queue to buy tickets for the entrance. The queue was quite long but there were about 8 counters, so the queue moved fast.

Then we went in to the park. It was crowded. We walked along the canopy with kites hanging up. Then we walked to theme gardens. The garden I personally liked most was the Musical Garden. It was decorated with music notations and so on. There was a mini stage for artists or singers to perform. And I'm glad that I enjoyed the music played by a band.

There's a Johor themed garden. It was decorated with a big crown with flowers below it and then there's a mosque with the flags of the states in Malaysia.

My family and I then went into a floral arts gallery. Those floral arts were beautiful and filles with artistic feels. It's sort of a competition for floral artist all around the world. I personally fell for an floral arts by a Netherland's artist (if I'm not mistaken), it used white as his or her theme. There's also floral fashion shown. The dresses decorated with flowers and leaves are pretty.

After that I walked out of the gallery and continued the journey. It's a garden for the schools and insitutions or universities to make their piece of work. The primary schools' ones are pretty creative with all those imagination of fantasy. Eventually, I was impressed by the art work of Lim Kok Wing University of Creative Technology. They used the idea of combination of technology and nature, it's really nice. The next one if University of Technology Malaysia I think. They made it like a tunnel cave with different element of nature. That was another great idea.

Next I continued to the graden of special designs. I think it was a group from Petaling Jaya made a moving tree where they let people sit on it and it will turn a round. At the same time, there's a stage for singers or band to perform. And I did enjoy the performance by a singer with a band.

I walked through a garden of bonsai. It's China themed with the design of temple.

Before I went back with my family, there's a radiostation there doing live show and they invited a talented female singer to perform a song. She sang live there and her vocal was wonderful.

After that, I went into Arts and Crafts gallery to have a little rest with my family. I wanted to walk around to have a look of arts and crafts but my family stopped me and I was like so frusfrated, because I'm literally more into arts than flowers.

Actually throughout the walk in the park, I was kind of mad, because I saw more people than I enjoy the design and so on. People are like modelling here and there, taking picture everywhere, and they don't even want to try to understand what is the thing they're taking picture of. Of course many hipsters were there. There was a path for people to walk on but people rather modelling there than letting people walk through. I don't kind of understand because aren't we supposed to use our eyes to see and enjoy the view than using cameras or phones to capture the view? Sure, everyone should take some photos to keep it as a memory but literally not taking every single thing you can see right? Yet those who were constantly taking pictures shown no interest in giving way to people in need to walk through.

Not a very pleasant trip to be honest.

On our way back as the night fall, we passed by Cyberjaya, and I saw Lim Kok Wing University of Creative Technology, which is one of my dream University to enroll to. But it was creepy all along the town. It was so quiet and dark. Literally, 1/20 of the cars found compare to Kuala Lumpur, or maybe lesser.

Anyway, sorry for my grammar mistakes and bad English. That's how I spent the day.

Have a nice day, readers!
