“Did I Not Climb Up The Stairs?” After a sudden injury leaves her unable to walk, Beth finds herself trapped downstairs in her own home—alone, in pain, and cut off from the outside world. As time stretches and fear quietly builds, even the simplest task—climbing the stairs—turns into a test of strength, endurance, and willpower. Beth had always been fast. On the soccer field, she moved like the wind—light, confident, unstoppable. Running wasn’t something she thought about. It was just something her body knew how to do. Until the day it didn’t. It happened in a second. One wrong step, one sharp twist, and suddenly she was on the ground, clutching her ankle as pain shot through her leg. The game continued around her, voices blurred, but all she could feel was that burning, pulsing pain. By the time she made it home, she could barely walk. Her room was upstairs. That simple fact now felt like a wall she couldn’t climb. Beth stood at the bottom of the staircase, staring...
Cris Doodling Series
“Cris Doodling Series” takes young readers on a whimsical journey through the imagination of Cris Alberto—a boy whose drawings magically come to life! From talking animals and playful pranks to heartfelt lessons and dreamy adventures, each short story bursts with wonder, laughter, and surprises. Whether it’s a frog in the living room, a squirrel with a sweet tooth, or a thief with a kind heart, these tales remind us that creativity holds the power to change the world.
What Is Cris Doodling?
Cris Alberto loves to draw. His crayons aren’t just colors — they’re magic. Whenever Cris doodles, the world around him changes. The red car he drew once gave him a ride through busy city streets. A red balloon lifted him into the clouds. At the zoo, his bear doodle reached down, picked him up gently, and carried him high above the crowd. With each sketch, Cris’s imagination takes him on a new adventure — one more magical than the last.
1. Snake on the Twig
While building a sandcastle, a girl discovered a stick wrapped in what looked like a soft black wire. As she unwrapped it, the wire began to slither. It was a real snake! Terrified, she dropped it, and the snake slid inside her castle and vanished. The shock made her cry — and she never played in the sandpit again.
2. Squirrel and Kit-Kat
One snowy day, a squirrel appeared outside the window and snatched a Kit-Kat bar from the sill. She returned again and again, munching on almonds and chocolate. One day, she slipped inside through an open window and got lost. The family laid a path of Kit-Kats and almonds leading to the tree outside. She followed the trail and safely returned to her cozy treehouse.
3. Rain and the Cat
On a stormy night, a drenched, shivering cat meowed in the cold. A kind woman brought her inside, gave her warmth, but sadly, the cat didn’t survive. Heartbroken, the woman buried her in the garden with flowers. Moved by love, she later adopted three more cats — giving them a forever home.
4. A Frog Inside the Home
Mr. Frog came into the house with a potted spider plant. At night, he hopped out, startling the children. They climbed onto the sofas, screaming, while Mr. Frog only wanted to find the way back out. They opened a window, and he leaped his way to freedom — toward the park and pond he came from.
5. Robin’s Friend
Robin dreamed of building his dream house. After much thought, he chose wood for its warmth over cold bricks. When it was done, the house was beautiful — but lonely. So he invited friends for a sleepover. They loved it so much, they built their own houses nearby. Still feeling alone, Robin made a deal with a rabbit: “Bring me nuts, and I’ll stay forever,” the rabbit said. So began a warm friendship filled with shared snacks and laughter.
6. The Speed
Driving always looked fun — until Cris tried it. Holding the steering wheel was exciting, but real roads were nothing like simulators. Confusing the accelerator and brake was easy, but sudden stops were scary. In the end, he decided: he preferred the passenger seat — for now.
7. Wait!
Stress whispered in Cris’s ears, telling him to rush through everything. He heard voices in the stars, strange and demanding. But with time, the pressure faded, and peace returned. He realized some feelings are just passing clouds — and calm always comes after the storm.
8. Digital Planet
In a world filled with screens and noise, Cris noticed how broken phones seemed to reflect broken hearts. Each crack told a story. Digital life wasn’t always easy — but through art, he found a way to express what words couldn’t.
9. What It’s Like to Be a Flower
A flower blooms in quiet strength. It doesn’t need to speak to bring joy. In its scent and color, it carries hope, freshness, and a smile for every eye. Cris sketched them often — not just for beauty, but for their silent resilience.
10. Sarah’s Dream
Sarah dreamed she was a bird, flying across snowy peaks and green valleys. She made friends in the skies and raced to mountain tops. When she woke, she bought a pair of cockatiels and cared for them deeply. One day, she left their cage open, and they flew away. Heartbroken, she adopted a puppy — and he became her loyal companion for life.
11. Mr. Cat
Mr. Cat loved weekends — lazy naps, warm baths, and soft music. But Mondays? Pure chaos. Rushing, forgetting, missing his cookies. Still, at the end of every week, he found joy again in curling up with his favorite woolen ball and resting till Sunday night.
12. Sleeping Cat
She decorated her living room with lush green plants. But after a trip with a friend, she returned to chaos. Her cats had destroyed the plants, and soil covered the carpet. The cats had vanished. Days later, she adopted two calmer cats from a shelter — they preferred sleeping over mischief. Her home was peaceful again.
13. The Kind Thief
One night, a thief broke into a mother’s home. Instead of panicking, she calmly offered him food. He ate in silence, then returned all the valuables. She gave him some money and a warm smile. Touched, he gave up stealing, found work, and wished he could one day tell her how that one act of kindness changed his life forever.
14. Money, Money, Money
Money says, “I’m everywhere—but earning me is the real challenge.”
Guess what? Only a few know how to hold on to me wisely. I’m famous for growing through savings. If you spend me too fast, I may never return. But if you save me, I’ll multiply in your account and offer access to your surplus.
So, handle me with care. I might come and go, or I might disappear, leaving you broke.
Remember—when I arrive and you treat me well, I grow… just like a money tree.
15. The Untraveled Trip
She dreamed of a place where countless trips unfolded—destinations she’d never seen, adventures she’d only imagined.
She longed to escape, to journey far away, but the more she walked, the stranger everything became.
The trip turned haunting. She clutched at nothing and tried to run.
Suddenly, she awoke—in a quiet room, no suitcase, no ticket.
Only a bed. Only stillness.
Was it a dream, or a sign she wasn’t ready to go?
Cris’s doodles weren’t just drawings — they were windows into feelings, fears, joy, and friendship. And maybe, just maybe, we all carry a little bit of Cris inside us — doodling our way through life’s strange and beautiful stories.
If your drawings could come to life just like Cris’s, what would you doodle first—and where would your imagination take you?
