Journal Entry - First day April 16 - Monday pm Classes started today - it's been a long day and there was almost no ramp-up; it was straight into work. This is the start of the third year; the class content was new to almost everyone - so at least in that respect I'm on equal footing with the other...

What’s Class Got to Do With It? April 16, 2007 - Monday Tetsu entered class 3-A and took a seat at the back. A strong, subtle workshop smell permeated the classroom - the smell of oil, wood, ozone, leather, rubber, glues, solvents, wood, chalk, books, and that indefinable ‘dusty’ smell that all old...

Journal Entry - First Day Minus One April 15 - Sunday The Administrator, who met me on my arrival, introduced me to the Nurse (can't pronounce his name - said it was OK to just call him 'Nurse'), who checked me out, reviewed my records, and pronounced me fit to join Yamaku society. My timetable sta...

Journal Entry - First Day Minus Two April 14, 2007 - Saturday Having unpacked his clothes, books, shoes, medicine, blank paper, notebooks and pens, Tetsu uncovered the portable typewriter he’d wrapped in layers of clothing and packed carefully at the bottom of his luggage. A manual model, and very ...

Hello My Name Is April 09, 2007 - Monday “Good morning - welcome to Yamaku!” So far, so good - the language self study had prepared him for this moment at least; he understood what the school administrator had said. Responding, however, eluded him - as he had expected it might. He had been dreading...

Flight April 08, 2007 - Sunday “Time to go. I think I have everything - what I don’t, I can probably get there,” he said to his mother. “OK. Well if you’re going to go, then go.” Kind of a foregone conclusion, given they’d paid the deposit and gone through the long-distance telephone interview proc...

NB - You Should Have Seen the Other Guy and Epilogue are not found in the table of contents - if the story had been posted in instalments as originally intended, they would have appeared as easter eggs, answering a couple of unanswered questions - one question from this story; and one for the next. --

Why not just post it all as one long doc? I wanted to be able to post a table of contents with links to the specific scenes, and each post has it's own URL, which makes creating a table of contents possible. Maybe there's another way to do that, with links to points inside of a single monolithic po...

NB - Because I believe text to be a poor medium for communicating nuance (otherwise, why would we have emojiis?) please take all of the following as a serious attempt to understand forum norms; there should be no assumption of any other intent (eg. sarcasm, duplicity, or other ill-intent). If any of...

Hisao Hisao slept in on graduation day; to be honest, he spent a lot of time sleeping - not because it felt good, but because it didn’t feel bad. The graduation ceremony was probably about half over by the time he’d finished showering - he’d already packed his few possessions; he just needed to tak...

Drabbles are, as I understand, not just short, but `precisely 100 words in length` - my references could be wrong, however. My intent isn't to meet a word limit so much as to illustrate scenes, so word count isn't something I am paying a lot of attention to. Why not just post it all as one long doc?...

S13 Secret Santa Story Submission - No Time Like The Presents - for Feurox

Monsoon Season Hisao woke up to find Rin wasn’t at their usual haunts - even his prefect wasn’t around. He stopped by Rin’s room and found it empty. .. “She’s gone - parents came by yesterday and packed all of her stuff up,” said Emi. “What about her art in my room?” 
“I guess they didn’t want it?”...

Rainy Season Nomiya and the Principal met in the Principal’s office with a now heavily pregnant Rin - “We feel you need to focus on .. what’s immediately at hand and give some thought to going on to graduate study when matters are more settled.” The Principal had said. Rin wasn’t sure what she’d th...
