Yellow Ducks – A Short Story

By: Cynthia Ayala

So this was the last short story I wrote before I took my Leave of Absence at Emerson College. I think this one is one of my more favorite short stories that I wrote. It started as a writing exercise and then I decided I wanted to expand the idea. My first draft was okay and this is my third draft that I kind of wish I had handed in as my Final. I still got a B+ but I believe this is an improved version of the story. Continue reading “Yellow Ducks – A Short Story”

I have to hand it to the author; he knew exactly how to structure the story in such a way as to create a heartwarming story. Especially that terrace scene. Perfect! … Continue reading Warm Bodies

Cloud Atlas

Amazing movie! Spellbinding, captivating and simply amazing. This movie was so good. Here you have about five different timelines that, at first do not seem to coincide with one another but do. What also made this movie so great was the cast. Yes, it is, for the most part, and A-List cast, but also some not American stars like Bae Doona who was simply amazing … Continue reading Cloud Atlas
