Kaedah Perancang Keluarga

Hari Isnin lepas aku telah mengambil keputusan untuk tukar kaedah family planning. Entah dah berapa tahun aku guna pil. Suntikan depo pun dah pernah guna. Jadinya sementara tunggu menopause sajalah aku nak try ni. IUCD.

Garisan putih tu alatnya. Aku tawakal je. Rasa menyesal pun tak guna. Mana² kaedah pun kalau Allah dah jadikan, maka jadilah ia. Kata doktor, lain orang lain penerimaannya. Macam aku masa nak masukkan alat ni memang azab. Rasa macam dah nak surrender tapi 3 orang attend aku masa tu. Takkan aku nak buangkan masa diaorang macam tu je. Lepas tu aku punya over-thinking aku terscroll tt. Bermacam² komen. Rata² mereka guna, pregnant. TF 

Moral of the story. Aku telan panadol, tidur. Lepas beberapa hari dah tak sakit. Dapatlah aku kongsikan pengalaman aku yang haru ni. Nak dijadikan cerita benang pun aku tak dapat rasa. Mungkin sebab period, dari pembacaan artikel. 

Graveyard Shift by M. L. Rio

TW: It may contain a spoiler 👻👻. Hehe

A group of so-called friends called the Anchorites met in the churchyard every night at midnight. Not on purpose, just to smoke and loiter to pass the time. It used to be a graveyard a hundred years ago.

One night, they found a hole in the ground that contained a pile of dead rats. Intrigued, they speculated and were unable to leave the mystery unresolved. When the gravedigger visited again, they took the opportunity to do some sleuthing.

This is a novella, and the story takes place between midnight and morning. It’s an interesting subject, exploring the idea of an experimental outbred strain of rats that was used for neurological and behavioral studies. This project went wrong when they discovered that human subjects were involved. The results suggest that it could indicate a rise in impulsivity and behavioral issues. It provides suspense and dark mystery with a touch of the ethical boundaries of research and the unforeseen consequences.

 

Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson

A group of writers, book industry professionals, and reading circle buffs were invited to the program for the Australian Mystery Writers' Festival, with guest of honour Henry McTavish, bestselling author of a detective series. The festival was to take place on the Ghan, the famous train route that bisects the immense desert of Australia. The train had been overhauled for comfort and luxury, an opulent hotel on rails and a world-renowned tourist destination.

However, in an unexpected turn of events not long into the journey, McTavish was found dead. It occurred to many of them that they had reasons to dislike him, and several were probably glad he was dead. The crime writers, each specializing in a different field, were eager to find and rule out the motives and alibis. While they were playing detective, the number one suspect turned into a victim.

The story also explores the unreliable nature of the literary world, such as ghostwriting, the significance of the author's endorsement, and the complexities of literary criticism. It's a great read for setting up a whodunnit! While the narrative is engaging and well-crafted, I found that the ending did not meet my expectations, given the buildup of the plot, deductions, and the final reveal.
