Mom or Becoming Rich, I Chose The Money Aug 20, 2022

Show notes

“I’m starting to feel like a real couch potato.” I said to Fred while chugging down my second two liter bottle of soda.

“Eh.”

He didn’t say much these days. He was going through a serious heartbreak. He’d been crushing on this girl called Hayley since we started studying at this college. After the end of our first year he’d finally gathered enough courage to ask her out and do you know what she did? She laughed in his face and walked away. He was heartbroken.

“Cheer up man. At least it’s summer and we get to take a break.”

The truth was that Fred and I were both unattractive and unpopular – and somehow we ended up as roommates. We didn’t have much money either so we couldn’t go to clubs or do any of the things the cool, popular guys were doing. It sucked.

But we went home that summer and Fred came back as a new person. I was alone in our room unpacking when he opened the door with a huge smile on his face.

“I’m so happy to be back!”

I looked at him and was shocked. He’d started working out and his clothes were trendy too.

“What happened to you? Did you get a makeover?” I laughed.

My Sister Gets Treated Like A Princess Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

“Daddy, dad…mom…”

I could hear my sister coming in screaming even before she entered the house. She was just so loud and always acted as if she owned the house and our parents and everyone related to her.

“Dad, I need a new car. My stupid boyfriend parked it in a stupid space and now it has a scratch on it.”

She banged the door shut behind her as she entered.

“Oh boy, must be one big scratch,” I tried to stir up some sarcasm. I knew the scratch must have been nothing even before having to take a look at it. I was so used to my sister and her behavior, such a drama queen.

“Okay sweetie, anything for you. Just let us know which one you want this time.”

“Wow, and I don’t even get a video game on my birthday,” I told my dad and went back to my room.

My sister got everything she ever asked for, it was so unfair.

If you think that’s too much, wait till the end of the video to find out what happened to me. That will actually blow your mind.

My parents were rich so they could afford to do what my sister asked and I could have thought they were open-minded about fulfilling their children’s desires but they never did the same for me. They were always only doing what Avery wanted, buying her everything she asked for.

My VR Glasses, Allow Me To Have X-Ray Vision Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

They say it’s the middle child, the one with an older and a younger sibling, that has it the hardest. I’m not so sure about that. In my experience, it’s much worse to be the younger sibling of someone who’s gifted at every single thing they try. I really do speak from experience.

My sister Angela was cringely referred to as the town’s angel. Meanwhile, people asked “Who?” whenever my name came up. I never hated my sister, I love her very much. It’s impossible not to when she’s so sweet and social and when she always knows exactly what to say to cheer me up. In high school, Angela was top of her class. She was also head cheerleader, of course, and president of the math club. In her free time she volunteered all around town. She was the reason our local animal shelter wasn’t forced to shut down. All she had to do was organize a small event there and people were throwing money at the place like crazy.

Who was I in high school, you ask? Nobody. Seriously, I was completely unknown. People were shocked when Angela told them I was her little sister. While Angela distributed flyers for some amazing cause, I kicked rocks in the background. I was very introverted, to the point where I could hardly go to the grocery store alone. Despite me being a failure socially, my sister still tried to help me out. She used to invite me to all sorts of outings with her friends, but both for my sake and theirs, I always said no.

Angela noticed that the excuse I used most of the time was hayfever. She’s wicked smart, so of course she found a loophole in my “No going out” thing.

“My friends and I are going to the arcade tonight, you wanna come?” She asked me one afternoon.

My 16th Birthday Gift Changed My Life Forever Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

I ran back outside, my heart hammering in my chest and surveyed the area. My eyes searched wildly for her. She wasn’t here! How did she slip away from right under my nose? This did not make any sense! I felt something at the back of my head and a voice from behind growled, “Don’t move.” That was the last thing I heard before I was knocked unconscious.

Crazy isn’t it? Minding my own business and wham!

I’m not a very good looking guy, or at least that’s what I thought. When I met Samara I was actually kind of….well you know...shy. She made the first move and asked me out on a date. At first, I thought it was a trick or even that she had lost a bet or it was a dare. But then I realized she really was into me. I didn’t waste time in asking her to be my steady girlfriend either. I knew I couldn’t get better than her.

At a very young age, Samara’s parents passed away and she came to live with her Uncle Henry who was a scientist. That was supposed to be a temporary situation but Samara didn’t have much family so she made Uncle Henry’s home her own.

Samara and I were total opposites, where I was shy she was outgoing and the most popular girl in school. All the jocks at school lingered on her every word because of her beauty and the nerds lingered on her every word because of her intelligence. Even though I knew I was dating out of my league, Samara only had eyes for me, which made me feel special.

My "Perfect” Girlfriend Left Me With Nothing Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

"What do you mean you have her in custody?” I listened to the person on the other end of the line, “But there must be an explanation! I'll be right there!"

I hung up the phone, grabbed the jacket for my suit and my briefcase and walked out of my office.

“Yvonne, please hold my calls for the rest of the afternoon and shift my appointments.” I told my secretary as I passed her desk.

I jogged out of the building and jumped into my car. I knew without a shadow of doubt that a mistake had been made and I needed to get to the bottom of it.

Hi my name is Mason.

I remember it like it was yesterday, I decided to leave work early and head to the park. I thought a bit of sunshine and fresh breeze would help with the migraine that rumbled in my head. With my legs stretched out, I placed my hand behind my head and leaned back. The weather was overcast and the breeze was cooI.

Suddenly, I felt someone trip over my legs and a small ouch made my eyes fly open. My eyes fell upon the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I never believed in love at first sight but then and there I knew she was the one for me.

I extended my hand, “I’m so sorry. Are you ok?”

I'm The Smallest Person In The World Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

I was trying not to let my history teacher, Mr Wilson, see how bored I was as he droned on and on about World War 1.

As soon as the bell went I pushed back my chair and was out of that classroom in a flash. I couldn’t wait to get home.

The minute I walked through my front door I shouted out to my Mom,

“Mom, I’m home! Come and help me get out of this thing!”

My Mom came through from the kitchen where she had been preparing dinner.

“Ok, ok, hold on.”

I turned around and my Mom unzipped the back of my suit. I stepped out of it revealing my true height. I’m actually only 4 feet tall.

I had a difficult childhood, it wasn’t too bad when I was really young, because all of my friends were small too. But as the years went by, my friends all started getting taller and taller, but I didn’t grow.

Of course my parents took me to see lots of doctors and specialists, but no one could tell them why I wasn’t growing. I definitely didn’t have any medical condition that was causing it, so basically there wasn’t anything they could give me to help.

In the end my parents told me that it was just something I was going to have to accept. But it was easy for them to say that. They weren’t the ones who had to put up with the constant teasing.

I’m The Maid For My Brothers, How Could They Do This Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

I remember the first time I saw her as though it was yesterday. It was a Saturday afternoon and I was skating at our local ice-rink, as I did every Saturday.

My passion was ice-skating, I had been skating since I was five years old and I loved it. As I zipped around performing twists and turns like a pro I suddenly noticed a girl stepping onto the ice. I stopped at the side and watched her as she glided around on the ice.

I had never seen anyone so beautiful in all of my life, to say she took my breath away was an understatement. I knew there and then that she was the girl for me, it was literally love at first sight.

As she came around the corner on the ice and was headed towards me, I gave her a beaming smile.

“Nice skating! You’re really good.”

“Thank you.”

I was hoping that she would stop and have a chat with me, but instead she just skated off in the opposite direction.

I tried to catch her eye for the rest of the session but she was either oblivious to me or playing hard to get. I couldn’t work out which it was.

When the attendant announced that it was time to leave the rink I followed her outside.

“Hey, do you fancy getting a hot chocolate or something?”

“Oh, err….Sorry, No, I have to go.”

Psycho Gold Diggers Are Obsessed With Me Aug 13, 2022

Show notes

I inched towards the opening of the cave and cautiously peeked out. As footsteps and voices approached, I held my breath as I pressed myself into the dampness of the cave.

“I think she ran into this one,” He stood at the entrance of the cave and peered into its shadows.

“Hey, there he goes!” Another voice shouted, a little way off.

As the footsteps ran away from the cave, I sank to the cave floor to catch my breath.

Hi, my name is Vanessa.

As far back as I could remember my father was always a con man. From selling fake jewellery, other people’s cars and even expired goods. One time he even sold a house and land that wasn’t even his. His boss went away for a few weeks and when we returned another family was living in his house! By that time, Dad and I had new identities and were living in another country.

I never knew my Mom and he was the only family that I knew about. I stayed with him until I was twenty.

After I struck a record deal and became a famous singer, I moved from Dad’s house even though I stayed in the same country. From time to time, I would send money to Dad hoping he would refrain from scamming others, but I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Picking Up A Phone Call Made Me A Billionaire Aug 13, 2022

Show notes

Hey there! My name is Kyleigh and when I was fifteen years old, my life totally transformed. I was a really happy kid. I loved roller skating and anything to do with fashion. It was my deepest wish to someday become a fashion designer. I bought tons of magazines and cut out pictures of designer clothes to stick all over my room.

I had to stick pictures of clothes on the walls because I’d never be able to afford them. I lived alone with my mom and we didn’t have much money. She was a nurse and my dad left us when I was about five years old. I haven’t seen him since and he doesn’t check up on me at all. The last I heard is that he moved to Spain with his new wife. That didn’t bother me much though because I had a really good relationship with my mom. She was fun and never bossy or annoying. She let me do whatever I wanted most of the time – but money was tight. I wasn’t even sure how we’d pay for college but I just remained hopeful that things would work out anyway.
