Highlighting
Suddenly, a huge guy walked in; he was as tall as a coconut tree in full season, with teeth so white that it seemed he did advertisements for Close-up. His glittering gold watch was almost blinding my eyes as he placed his wrist on my desk while talking with my friend, Lola.
Curator's comment :
Nicely paced tragi-comedy. A witty fun read.
Highlighting
It's either someone bought a car or someone is bragging to the other about spending millions in a club or posting pictures of themselves in exotic places. Even when they have problems, it's usually the rich man type of problem.
Curator's comment :
An endearing nicely structured, interesting read that evokes empathy.
Highlighting @ zain-ab001, with the story:
I think that was the first time I realized that I had a lot to discover in the world of food, and that is when I made a promise to myself that someday I would travel around the globe and dive into the diverse wonders of the foods of this world.
Curator's comment :
Zain-ab001 writes a thoroughly entertaining CNF about admiring American snack food and the disastrous experience he and his siblings had when they overindulged as a result of a gift sent from the USA. Funny, engaging and well structured piece that rings true.
Highlighting
The pay was what sent my dopamine levels off the charts and through the roof, perhaps that's why I did not sit down to rationalize, I strongly doubt I was even thinking at all. Sixty dollars a manuscript; three times more than any other job I'd ever accepted before that.
Curator's comment :
As this narrative of misfortune unfolds we are party to expectation and then disillusion. The author's writing skill is topnotch at conveying both experiences.
Waste not, want not.
The expression waste not, want not means that if you do not use too much of something now you will have some left later when you need it.
