Cologne | 5-minute Daily Freewrite by @mariannewest

Shawn was a handsome man at his college, popularly sought after by girls. He was stout and muscular, bright in his studies and did very well in his papers too. One of a kind.

But, not many knew about his one and only secret. But I knew. Somehow, he could buddy with me. He loved another man from another school. He shocked himself too to find out he fell in love with another man instead of woman. Identity crisis.

Still, he could befriend girls and still, many girls dreamed of him as their boyfriends. And many of them got jealous of me being his goodie buddie. But nah...I wasn't fond of him. He was too muscular for me. I didn't like six-packs. One big round belly, my choice.

Shawn was getting more and more frustrated by the continuous attention from girls. He wanted to focus more on how to get the attention of Patrick, the man he was deeply fond of.

We had a plan. A plot. Shawn saw advertisement of men using cologne which would attract females. So he thought of a way to repel the girls far away from his life. By getting a repel cologne, so to speak.

He knew I was from Malaysia, so he asked me to create a cologne called 'durian + salted fish' cologne.

Go figure. 😂😉
