Special Delivery

The pizza boy looked very young, no older than sixteen.
He handed me the pizza, I gave him the money, but he didn't leave.
He said: "Please taste it and let me know what you think."

I looked at the boy, assessed if he were joking or not. Judging from the expression on his face, he was not. I took a slice of pizza and tasted it. The chewy mozzarella cheese melted in my mouth as I chewed the piece on, the spicy pepperoni stung my taste buds.

At first, it seemed the best pizza I had ever tasted. But as I kept on chewing, I realized something was wrong. The pizza boy stared at me as if he was waiting for something.

I felt a piece of paper in my mouth and I pulled it out. He was getting mad at the pizza boy, but he said, "Read the piece of paper!" I answered, "What? Is it a fortune cookie? What was written was, "You will be a rich guy".

I read again what was written on the paper. I couldn't believe my eyes "You will be a rich guy." The pizza boy was smiling at me, he was saying the words that were written on the paper and added, "You are the lucky costumer of the month, you can claim your prize at the office tomorrow morning at 8 am. However, if you are late, the prize will be forfeited."

Heaven is home cooking

Story writing class: Sunday at 7am PDT
At the end you can read the story before corrections.

While checking out my Facebook feed, a post by my friend Michael caught my attention.
He had written about a restaurant called "Heaven". He said that it was the best restaurant he had ever tried. Not only the food was delicious, after the meal he felt so good that he had decided to stay in the restaurant forever.
I clicked the link.

I saw some photos of the restaurant. It was very clean. They had many kinds of food, and it was not expensive.

I thought that I wanted to try that restaurant too.

Then I went home. I met my mother and told her about the restaurant . She told me it seemed a good place, and she asked me to take her to the restaurant soon.

Then, I asked her which food she wanted to try.

She told me: "I will try the soup and spicy meat." I answered: "I will take you to the restaurant tomorrow."

Late one night, Martin received a phone call.
"I am Mr. Trevor, the lawyer of your great-uncle James. I'm sorry to inform you he passed away last week. He left all his belongings to you, his only nephew. I need you to sign the documents for the transfer of property. When and where could we meet?"

Martin answered: "Anytime you want, and anywhere you want, if you have internet connection."
Trevor said: "OK!, How about in 10 minutes, on Skype?"
Martin answered: "OK, my account is MartinMartin. I am waiting for your call."

Where is Fluffy?

Story writing class: Sunday at 7am PDT
At the end you can read the story before corrections.

It happened a long time ago, but Tina can remember it as if it were yesterday.
It was late, she was getting ready to go to sleep, when Paula, her neighbor, knocked at her door.
She couldn't find Fluffy, her cat. She was desperate. She asked Tina to help her look for Fluffy around the neighborhood.

Tina told her neighbor: "Oh, I have not seen Fluffy for a couple of days". She thought that it was important for Tina to find her pet.

Tina felt the desperation in Paula's voice. She grabbed her coat and went with Paula to look for Fluffy. The two women were searching the neighborhood in the middle of the night. They were calling Fluffy's name in the quietness of darkness.

Tina spent hours calling Paula´s cat in Spanish, but she was wondering whether the "beast" could understand her...as Fluffy was used to English. Tina though that the situation is was surreal.

There was a small house nearby, but Tina didn't like it because it looked creepy. Near the house they could hear a sound, like a cat's scratching, but they weren't sure. They tried to approach the small house, even if they were afraid. "Fluffy... come out, my good kitty". Suddenly, the shadow of a cat appeared. "Oh look Paula, Fluffy is there. The kitty came close to them.

Paula held her dear cat in her arms and said: "Thank you very much Tina, I´m so happy." After all what had happened, the two girls were tired and they decided to go back home. But before they left that old house they could see a dark shadow, and it seemed to be a man who was slowly coming toward them.

Space shock

Story writing class: Sunday at 7am PDT
At the end you can read the story before corrections.
 
I woke up yesterday in this tiny space capsule.
I don't know how I ended up here. I don't remember anything, not even my name.
I don't know how long I've been here, but it looks like I am far away from any known planet.
Luckily, I can access the computer. I am going to look for any clue about the reason I am here and where I'm going to.

The computer screen shows the message: "Can I help you?" And there is a text input box.

I type on the keyboard "what happened?" in the hope that the computer will be able to explain my situation, while I try to remember how I happened to be up here in space, in this cramped little pod.

The computer shows "error". Oh my God, I hit the floor, my head hurts. A handsome guy's face comes up in my mind. He seems like an old friend, but who is he?
