[WP] The annexation of Crimea was actually Putin's desperate, last-ditch attempt to save the world from something much worse.
Vladimir Putin rode in the back of the armored car. Typically, the car would be full of government functionaries, bureaucrats and advisers, prattling into his ear, but now, he was alone. No advisor could know about what he was to do. The car was driving to the Site. All of the scholars agreed to the location before a...

*The dead hand* -------------- He raised his head. Above him the green on black letters on the middle screen were still there. "Система **ПЕРИМЕТР** вооруженные" - the catode screen kept blinking. Arming 30 year old systems were never a good start for a man wanting to rise up in the rank of the army. "Сука.....

*Tap tap tap* His finger lightly tapped on the large red button on the center of the console in front of him. It had been months of planning, preparing everything for this moment. Yet he hesitated. It was easy until now. It was easy to play villain, to order a few lives be taken, to order martial law in the area, to o...

"Vampires." The word hung like a lead weight in the silence between the two men. They stared across from each other, and Mikhail had the grave impression that Nestor was waiting to see who would blink first. Mikhail wanted to crack a smile at the joke, but the situation, the odd secretive circumstances of this meetin...

Putin knew they were up there, waiting, watching. Wondering if this new self-styled king would uphold the obligation older than the Volga itself. He knew if Mother Russia let the waters fall to foreign hands the ancient tradition would require a trial by fire humanity could not withstand. Putin also knew that Tunguska...

[WP] I never understand the significance of symbolism/symbolic objects in literatures. Make a story that can make me understand why they are important.
Doctor Pelant had been on the job for two weeks when his first patient lost. An eight year old boy, he was fighting cancer since he could walk. The thing about cancer, Pelant told the child once, was that it fought whoever it could and it didn't pull punches. The doctor used to think of himself as a champion for his pa...

[WP] I never understand the significance of symbolism/symbolic objects in literatures. Make a story that can make me understand why they are important.
The importance of symbolism and metaphor in literature is designed as a means for the author to tell multiple stories or explore particular themes in his or her work. Truly, it's one of the defining features that separates literature from story-telling (in my opinion). My introduction to this was a short story written...

Edit: I posted a version of the story with symbolism elements bolded below. *“The 1:37 train to Springfield is now boarding on track 8”* “Can I have another?” “That one is almost full” He looked down as he picked up the glass, the ice bounced off the edges and the whiskey trembled in peaks and troughs, like a ...

We had both been drinking. The crowd had been drinking too. The cheers grew more irate each moment. I found a pair of seats. I sat and Lucy sat next to me. They were wrangling the first bull toward the ring. He was a great beast. Muscles carved through his brown coat and he had swagger. His horns were b...

Sam stood on the side of the road and watched as his old beater was lifted onto the tow truck. His cell phone vibrated in his pocket. When he took it out he could see that it was Mary calling again. He had sent her a text saying he was fine and explained how the old car had broken down on the freeway. Why did she hav...

[WP] Satan is faced with dilemma when one new "costumer" has asked for the same thing that and old "costumer" is achieving, and the Big Problem is both of their souls have been taken already. Explain how this happen and how Satan, with all his intelligence, will resolve this situation.
"Satan is ready for you, now." The receptionist at the front desk spoke in a gender neutral voice. Perhaps Dave should have been able to tell what sex it was, but the goat's head and gorilla's body made it hard for him. "Thank you." Dave said as he got up and walked on the evenly spaced stones leading to the office d...
