If I were the last man on Earth

What would you do if you had just got up from bed and you heard absolute nothingness except for the sound of birds chirping on your old oak tree at the backyard? And when you are heading downstairs to the kitchen for your breakfast, you did not smell the aroma of your favourite pancake served with glazed honey nor the scent of fried eggs and freshly bruzzed coffee in the morning. Then some strange thoughts were to pop into your head.

     “ Mom, Dad, you in here? ” , you cried out but there was no sign of response.

     You thought that they may had gone out in a rush and forgotten about you. So, you went out to go to school. You noticed that the streets were empty. There were no people and cars on the street. It was like a ghost town. As you reached school, the big gate was closed and shut tight and you took a peek in school.

     “ Gosh! The building is completely deserted! Maybe there’s no school today. Yeah, that may be the case. Hmm… since there’s no school, I think it wouldn’t hurt a fly to go shopping, wouldn’t it? ”, a thought just popped into your head.

     As you reached the nearby shopping complex, you noticed that there was no people around it. No workers, shoppers and others. Non! You wondered around and you just cannot seem to find anyone! Not even a poor old lady trying to cross the street. And the next thing you know, you were the LAST man on Earth! Oh my!!!

     Well, if I were the last man on Earth, at first, I would think, hey, it ain’t so bad. I mean you get to have fun and whatever you want whenever you want it. You do not have to pay for the bills as all you have to do is just do things self-servicely. Besides that, you do not get your parents nagging you and annoying you to always study. School would be out and I get to enjoy my life!

     But then again, with all that fun to yourself, there’s no way I will be happy, is there? I would not have anyone to share my happy times and memories with. And when I’m down, or just lost, I couldn’t hug someone to let my feelings out nor to ask advice from. All I can do is just to tackle the lonely, deserted world alone with nobody with me.

   I’m sure you all don’t want to end up as the last man on Earth, right? So, to avoid this from happening, we can all still make a change to the world while there is still time and before it is too late. We should love our enviroment as it is a wonderful gift from God himself and not destroy it by protecting and conserving it. In this developing era, more plants and trees should be planted to help maintain the enviroment. I am sure with everyone’s help, we can all make a change . Even if it is just a small action, we can still make a huge difference.

     So, if I were the last man on Earth, it would have been a creepy and sad experience. To prevent this, the enviroment must immediately be taken care of before time runs out.

Why did the chicken cross the road

Why did the chicken cross the road? This has been a joke and yet a mystery left unsolved. Some may say that the chicken wanted to get to the other side and others told that the chicken wanted to make love as a female chicken was on the other side of the road. Well, in my opinion, the mystery of the chicken crossing the road was actually a ghost story never been told to others. Even so, the ghost of the chicken exist and is still roaming the life if the undead.

In a small rural village located in the middle of nowhere, there lived a middle-aged man by the name of John. John is unmarried despite of his age and he works as a farmer of a chicken farm. Because of his carrier of being a chicken farmer, John’s life pretty much evolves around chickens! He normally talks about chickens to the other villagers and yet he can raise the most beautiful looking chicken in the village. John’s most beautiful looking chicken, a cock of a proud image with the most softest and colorful feathers you could not even imagine possible, is of his most prize belonging. The cock is is also his lucky cock whenever in a cock fight. When I mean lucky I mean seriously lucky. Whenever the cock is involved in a cock fight , it would always win.

But one day, a butcher from town came to the village to take a few chickens back to sell just as he did every few days.

“ Ah, Mr. Tan, you’re back. I trust that business has been going pretty well for you as you keep on coming back more often” , said John with a smile on his face.

“ You’re right, my friend. It’s because of all your hard work for raising such fine chickens. Without you, life would have been pretty hard ” , replied Mr. Tan.

After the conversation, they both headed to the barn where the chickens are kept. They both picked out the chicken that they wanted to sell. Suddenly, John’s phone began to rang.

“ You go pick whichever chicken you want. I’ll better answer that damn ringing phone. If I’m not back when you’re about to leave, just leave the money on my usual table.”

When John left, a very good-looking cock, which happens to be John’s favourite chicken caught Mr. Tan’s eye.

“ Well, old John did say I can have whichever chicken I wanted, so…………” , he began to said to himself.

He then catch the chicken without any second thought and loaded it with the other chickens onto his lorry. As John is not back from answering the phone, Mr. Tan left the money on John’s table and drove off.

That night, the cock was all curious of the terrible things that might happen it. With it’s eyes all wide open the whole night, it did not dare to shut it’s eye for a moment nor to blink as it was terrified and homesick. It just keep on looking around if there is anyplace that it can escape. But the night soon turn to dawn and Mr. Tan is already getting ready his tools and sharp knives as he is about going to kill the chickens so that he can sell it at the market. As the cock saw the other chickens being killed and blood dripping from their bodies, it made the cock shiver and brought fear to it’s heart. When it was the cock’s turn , the struggled to be killed by the sharp knife in Mr. Tan’s hand. At last, it broke free and the cock then ran as fast as it could out of Mr. Tans house. It was on the street, still feeling scared and curious of the route back home. Then, it settled down and wanted to cross a road. Just as it was crossing the road, a car driving at high speed hit the chicken and the chicken died instantly.

Even though the chicken is now dead, it’s spirit still lives on. It keeps on roaming the streets hoping to find a way home. So, if you are on the driving your new fancy car and you happen to see a chicken crossing the road, think carefully, you may just bump into the chicken ghost!
