"It's moving!", shouted one of the men.
The crowd ran over.
It was a remarkable sight to behold.
The coming to life of a creature that was once thought to be extinct.
Taking a deep breath, he centered himself slowly.
It requires a lot of focus to do this.
After all the years of training, he has transformed himself into a true master.
As he takes his step up to the platform, the audience fell silent.
All eyes are on the Master.
He takes one big breath and strikes.
This is the airbag.
It saves lives.
It activates upon impact.
Unfortunately, in some cases, it fails.
It fails because the force from the outside is too great.
We have an airbag in our lives.
Say "Yes" or say "No"?
Make a choice.
It was a quiet moonlit night.
Adam recalls the days when he was in paradise.
Only he, the lady and the maker.
"The nights were never this long", he thought to himself.
He sighs and move on.
Choices.
She was sitting on the floor, having her favorite dish of pasta.
Accompanied by a can of soda, she looked up.
What caught her eye on the TV brought back memories.
Tears welled in her eyes.
She missed her life as a mermaid.
"Hello there sweetheart!"
I called her.
She turned around and smiled.
We ran towards each other with arms wide open.
The day has finally arrived.
I hugged her as tight as possible. Not wanting to let go.
I missed her badly.
Then my eyes opened.
"Hello there!"
"Hi!" I replied.
It is nice to be greeted in the mornings.
I love waking up to the smell of fresh coffee and sunshine.
Sitting at my couch, I turned to my imaginary friend and smiled.
Life has been lonely. But lovely.
It is easy to switch lanes while you are driving.
So long as you know where you are going.
So long as you keep your eyes out for traffic on the road.
So long you indicate in advance where you are going.
In life, is it that easy to switch too?
Can we use the same analogy to make life's decisions?
Driving can teach us a lot about life.
That is something we need to consider.
There is no more for me to erase in my memory.
She's gone. Gone for good.
She was all that mattered to me.
Every morning every night. When I wake up and before I go to bed.
All I have now is just me.
I stand in front of this mirror. Staring into the depths of my bare soul.
Empty.
We want to erase the memories.
The memories of hurt, regret and pain.
Oh, maybe some happiness too.
Because those who were part of those happy memories are no longer here.
Oh well, that is how life works.
If only there is a magical eraser to delete those moments.
