A wedding that hurts
My "Linna, Klenina", your kindness was gone in my eyes, as if I had died to you completely. From that time on, we were strangers, we didn't communicate with each other, you just evaporated from the world and escaped from my sight.

A Whole New Breed
by: Dennis R. Humphreys Some people are more sensitive to certain stimuli than others. What effects one fails to affect another. Some people get severe cases of poison ivy while others show no signs of it. If a population has never been exposed to a particular stimulus before, who knows what the result might be?

Life on Venus
Venusians have perfect bodies: a broad or broad forehead, blue eyes, a straight nose, blond hair, and surprising intelligence. They measure more or less between 1.30 to 1.40 meters in height, there are no higher or lower; there are no paunches or disfigured people, everyone has angelic figures: perfection in men and women, because it is a planet, and its humanity, ascendant, superior. There you don't see monsters like you see here. They wear a wide belt full of red, blue and yellow buttons around it, which are flashing on and off like a beacon. When they see themselves in danger, they press a mother button, which can be symbolized as the buckle we have on our belts; just press it and a circle of fire forms, capable of disintegrating a bullet and everything it catches around it.

Titaness
‘She’s out there again,’ Maria said. Julien sat at the table behind her as she looked out of the large, semi-circular window that occupied one side of the room. Their apartment sat atop a towering, cylindrical block that droned quietly each day as it worked hard to mimic Earth’s gravity within. It sat near the centre of activity on Saturn’s satellite, Titan, and Maria was not able to shake the feeling of being always on display.
Billy ForshawPublished 5 months ago in FuturismA Brief History of Urban Fantasy
The modern-day setting has its share of monsters. However, in the urban fantasy setting, these monsters take the form of the supernatural. Whether a ghost, vampire, werewolf or something equally frightening, it is up to the main character to find out what is happening and why. A good bit of this setting lies heavily in the horror realm, while some authors take it the genre of romance.

The Words of the Wind
“Fly far,” the wind whispered to me. “It’s dangerous here. Fly somewhere far away.” I listened. I listened to the quiet words whistling through the tune of that autumn breeze. I flapped my wings desperately and lifted myself off the branch, soaring into the air. But my wings were so small and everywhere I turned, I was surrounded by burning trees.
The Evolution of Writing and the Relevance of Vocal Media
The ancient human race has struggled hard and took a long time to discover the gift of language which has also made this great creature unique in this planet. The endowment of language is only unique to humans. After birth, a child first starts to develop the listening from the surrounding. Then, after around one and a half year , it starts to speak, utterng the sounds which it has already installed into its brain so far. From this point of view, it is clear that humans have developed the art of writing long after they had developed the varbal language.

After Movie Series
If you are a fan of One Direction, specifically Harry Styles, than you've probably known of the After series since it was a fan fiction on Wattpad. A friend of mine told me about the fanfiction being turned into a movie a few years before the movie came out. I never got a chance to read the story in its original version on Wattpad, but I wish I had. I didn't pay much attention to anything about the series until the first movie came out on Netflix in 2019.
