Hello, this is Frank.
Allow me to introduce the synopsis and an exclusive preview of my bite-sized, bittersweet anthology, “Where Happiness Lies” (English Edition). If you’re in the mood for a short yet heartfelt read, I hope you’ll take a moment to check it out.
【Synopsis】
The first volume of this micro-anthology series—A Slightly Sweet and Sour Anthology—delves into a nostalgic high school memory. In just under 1,000 words (a 4-minute read), the author recalls a pivotal encounter with a quirky yet wise teacher whose words left a lifelong impression. These words, both humorous and profound, became an emotional compass. More than just a story, it offers a small spark of inspiration for those navigating the winding paths of life.
【Preview】
Mr. Vibrissa’s right hand, or more precisely, the tips of his index finger and thumb, delved into his nostrils.
“… that’s what it means. Do you understand?”
Each time he uttered those words, it was Mr. Vibrissa himself who plucked the hairs from his nose.
Thirty-five years ago, in the second semester of my sophomore year of high school, I eagerly anticipated witnessing his habitual gestures. My enthusiasm for learning had waned, and my only solace lay in observing his peculiar routines.
During my first year of high school, I managed to keep pace with classes without much studying. However, as I entered my second year, keeping up with my peers became markedly challenging, pushing me to the brink of surrender. Adding to the struggle were the burgeoning romantic feelings of the time, which further impeded my focus. Positioned at the very back of the classroom, I harbored a subtle crush on a girl, effortlessly navigating through life with her blood type B charm. Seated diagonally in front of me, I found myself captivated by her, often losing myself in thought during class.
