My personal, imaginative representation of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ will be primarily be based on the future image of an Apocalyptic scene. There are a few matters from the genesis text that I would like to alter, such as the fact that Romeo and Juliet do not die. Also, as the genre is future-apocalyptic, the setting will be in the future world where there are two colossal islands, Montague and Capulet, which are identical in size and resources. These two continents hold a grudge that has been…

The gentle movement of the bus…

The world turned dark and my heavy eyes fell shut as my body drifted into a deep trance. From a distance, I saw myself climbing up a ladder which led to the redwood loft bed in my house in the hills. I watched as the younger me almost hit my head on the low hanging wooden ceiling beams and the next thing I knew I was crawling straight over pillows while dragging my box of zebra puzzle pieces. Making my way to the tiny window that looked out towards an empty field, a sea of trees began to arise.…
