After being dead for several months, you awake, with no memories of where you are, or why you are dead. Terrified, you break out of your casket and out of the ground, only to turn around and read the name on the gravestone. | *I can't breathe.*
I take another rapid breath, trying to obtain enough oxygen to quell my throbbing lungs. Every breath, however, feels like it's tearing a hole through my body, taking my calm with it. I open my eyes to be met with darkness. It's taunting.
"Hello?"
*breath*
"Help!"
*breath*
"I can't-"
*breath*

You are a world renowned big game hunter, but you've done it all and have grown bored. Then you get an offer from a shady scientist. He claims he can shrink you to a fraction of your size so you can hunt small bugs and critters as if they were large beasts. It sounds dangerous... it sounds fun. | Hunting is in my blood. It is in yours whether you are a vegetarian or a vegan. Like it or not, our ancestors survived by killing and eating other animals.
In the developed world, hunting has continued to fall out of favor in the twenty-first century. I never much cared for following the rules. I grew up a poor farm b... | |
In your country it's completely acceptable to build your own human due to the decline of population over the decade. Today is your appointment for making your very own human. | 2.1 was the number for children born per woman, that our scientists had calculated would sustain the population.
At the time of my birth, the actual number was 1.4 and currently it had fallen to 0.6. Where before we had been among the many countries to heavily retrict the use of the gene editing tool CRISPR, we became... | |
: It's been three years since you broke the fourth wall. The author wants to keep pumping out books while you crave the sweet release of death. All your suicide attempts are undone by plot armour. | Journal Entry #456
*One week before the international release of the next book.*
Happy anniversary, me. Three years ago to this day I first contacted my author. I guess you could call this a birthday since my backstory won't be fully revealed until next year's upcoming prequel book "Agent Steven Young: A Young Agen... | |
Today is the one day a year where retail workers and cashiers can be completely honest and rude to customers. Write me a funny episode that happens on the Retail Purge day. | "I want a Big Mac."
"Please."
"What?"
"I want a Big Mac *please.*"
"Oh what is this, a nursery?"
"No, it isn't."
"So get me a---"
"If it *were* though, I'd have you on nap time for being so cranky and rude."
"Psh, I don't have to take this. Get me your manager."
"Ha, sure. **HEY CHARLIE, A CUSTOMER WANTS YOU.**"
"Hey, ... | |
You found a book entitled "Wizardry 101", and it's actually a O'Reily manual. | # Wizardry in a Nutshell
### Preface
Wizardry in a Nutshell is a reference to modern magic use and the standard library of spells. Being a Nutshell guide, it is not a comprehensive manual, but it is complete enough to cover everything a working professional needs to know. Nonetheless, Wizardry is such a large and co... | |
In a zombie apocalypse small areas of established, though only barely, populations survive day to day. An expert is the last to survive in his field and is trying to help people as he can. | I'm going to die.
I'm an idiot. They all told me I was going to get myself killed, and I probably am.
It's been years since the zombie apocalypse hit. Few people are living, most are dead, and a good portion are living dead. Up until last week, I was camped up with other living people, of the regular variety. The tem... | |
You've saved the city more times than you can count with your incredible superpowers you've even met the love of your life but when you reveal your true identity to them you are transported back to a time before you met. You've tried time and time again but are always sent back. | I chuckled as I glanced across the table at the beauty dining with me. "And you thought I couldn't get us dinner at La Vérité de L'amour, now did you?"
She cracked a bright, toothy smile, the smile that seemed to indicate she was in on some perpetual joke. "I never said you couldn't. I just said that it was going to b... | |
Satan and Lucifer have been at war for thousands of years. Satan wants to turn Hell into a paradise for fallen angels and the damned. A place free from God's influence and control. Lucifer wants to maintain the status quo. A place of torture and eternal suffering for the damned, demon paradise. | Lucifer POV
“That idiot,” muttered Lucifer as he walked into his mansion. He had been arguing with his main rival Satan again. They had been arguing like this for all of eternity it seemed. Sometime the arguing would lead to actual bloody battle. Today was one of the times no battle was involved but the yelling co... | |
You are Death, and for centuries, you have been the busiest ethereal being on Earth. But, in 2100, people rarely die. As such, you've finally got the one thing you always wanted - time to spend with each dying person. | My business had always been rooted in supply and demand. If the population spilled over a certain threshold, perhaps the supply of wheat in a certain subsection of the midwest fell short as a result, and suddenly I'd be very much in demand. Families would wither away in shanties outside city walls or under patched roof... | |
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous... | Both options looked rather grim.
The sea frothed in its wrath, enraged by the swirling, black clouds overhead and a vicious wind that ran its long fingers through the thick beach grass, whipping the tendrils like the tresses of a young woman.
Yet behind them their homes burned. The inferno had started innocently, a... | |
Share/write a creepy story with no "lesson"at the end. | The father shoved a bag into the back of the car, his wife telling their daughter that they were just going to be gone for a few days. She blushed and smiled as she assured her mother she was 13 and perfectly capable of handling herself while they were gone.
The parents waved from the car as the little girl stood in t... | |
You have the strongest superpower of them all. You hate it. | "I am Demgodra, Ravager of Worlds. All in time shall knell before me"shrieked the silver and black dragon that towered over my bedroom. "Yet I have heard this planet harbors a great champion".
My wife got out of bed and slowly began to walk to the bathroom. I saw her rolling her eyes as I stood up to look at the thir... | |
You have the ability to know someone's age by looking at them. For the first time, you tried the ability on yourself, using your reflection. The number you get is very odd. | Ricardo Trupe stumbled away from the mirror like a drunkard. It must not have worked right because it was a reflection. He wasn't actually looking at *himself*, after all. He took another step backwards, hopelessly aiming for something stable, something to center himself on.
His hand reached the cool brass doorknob of... | |
Astronomers pick up a vague binary transmission from a mysterious satellite orbiting Earth. The message reads: "Warning: Humans Present. Make Contact At Your Own Risk". Now it is abundantly clear why we haven't met aliens yet. | The news broke four days ago, and humans are acting as human as ever, all over the planet.
Masses have flooded into holy places to get their verbal opium from the mouths of manipulators.
Those humans that were only held back by the laws of man have broken the leash, and have gone wild in the the streets; debauchery... | |
Every doorway actually leads to a parallel universe. The chance of another world being noticeably different is incredibly small. | "Hey Jim! I'm going out!"Theresa slammed the door shut with enough force to wake Thor. My eyes slowly opened to reveal a small ticking clock, one of the few things in my house that wasn't electronic. It was nearly ten in the morning.
*Who in their mind wakes up at 10AM on their holiday?* The walls echoed with the ... | |
For 24 hours, everyone on Earth can wish for a super power and it will be granted! There is a catch: if your wish is identical to other wishes, then none of the recipients get it granted. You've skipped work to come up with the most original power that no one else will dare to dream of. | I took a gamble, it was original and u want sure if asking for the same power but in a different way counted, so the second the window opened I wished for the ability to change rules, all rules ever... I felt a surge of energy, my wish had been granted, I had put the wish so general I wondered the extent of its power, ... | |
Instead of spreading terror and despair across the land, a Black Knight becomes a reluctant hero when it turns out only he can prevent the world's total annihilation. His only consolation is being as rude as possible to every person he saves. | "Fucking fine."
I sighed, a long, heavy, exasperated sigh. The mage clenched his fists and shuffled in his blue robes as he flustered about trying to come up with some sort of response, only midway through his sputtering to realize I had actually accepted his quest this time around.
He had been here for a few hours n... | |
A lone man stood against destiny and the universe came to stand at his side. | They came for him. I stood at his side.
They came for her. I stood at her side.
They came for those. I stood at their side.
They came for these. I stood at their side.
I stood to defend against every injustice, every abuse, every evil done against a person, a people, a world.
Now I stand for myself.
"You have... | |
All your life you've been hearing the thoughts of the people around you. Now you're used to it and it's just become background noise. One day it all goes quite, except for one soft fragile mind. | At first I didn't notice the quiet because, well, I was taking a rather difficult shit. One of tjose that if you don't wiggle your butt in the right way at the right time, you might just rip yourself several new ones.
When I see my ability in movies, the characters are invariably overwhelmed by the shock of the noise o... | |
You found a way to distinguish 2-way mirrors from ordinary mirrors. Out of sheer curiosity, you try it on your bathroom mirror and you find out it was a 2-way mirror all along. | I opened the cabinet, my eyes in shock. I knew the former owner had been a bit wild, but installing a 2-way mirror in his medicine cabinet? Thinking about it though, maybe it'd be useful. . .
Grabbing my video-recorder, I set it in the medicine cabinet, knowing Sasha, my next door apartment neighbor would come in like... | |
"there are only 3 rules for the hotel pool, 1. No running 2. No diving and 3. No genocide, have fun" | The sound of the lifeguard’s whistle sounded muted in the water, but the boy heard it anyway, and in a panic, swam up.
“Kid! Can you read?” the man pointed his wrinkly finger at the sign next to him. The boy read it and climbed out of the pool.
“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t know I couldn’t dive here.” He looked at the ... | |
Every day you take a pill. You don't know what it is, you don't know where it comes from, or even what it does. You only know that it is illegal to miss a dose. One day you skip the dose...and terrible things happen. (Part 6) | I hate to ask about edits and such, but I think that putting quotes around the word 'suicide' would be in place. John says that he is sure that Brian was killed because of him, so it would make sense that he says "suicide,"which would show that while it is technically what happened in the eyes of everyone else, John st... | |
"A dragon that breathes out bullets? What?" | “Well sir, I mean that, while we were patrolling the border to the chaos lands, a shiny metal dragon flew down from the clouds and shoot bullets at us. Like the kind used in those new hand cannons we bought from the Milocks.” The Air Corps lieutenant said his voice matching his rigid stance.
“Did it come from the chao... | |
: You are a 12 year old kid that died from a fatal car crash. The second right after you die, you wake up, only to find you are your 6-month-old family dog. | What was I just doing? Thiiiiink...oh well guess its gone!
Wait! That smell, that can't be good....it's a...it's a...What was the word? 'K' something. One of those big fast shiny things I love to ride in. Right in front of my house! Why is this one all smushed in the front?
Someone is crying! I can't let them cry li... | |
You promise to give your firstborn to a clown in exchange for a lucky bowling pin, thinking "HAH! Jokes on them, I'm never having kids". Joke's on you, 20 years later. | The joke's on you, but you're just fine with that. See, you were playing the long game.
When you promised to give your firstborn to a clown, you never specified *which one*. And because of the lucky bowling pin in your hand, the baby broker somehow failed to catch that omission.
Strolling away with your prize, yo... | |
In the distant future humans have finally mastered intergalactic travel. After exploring all of the known universe humans are surprised to discover they are the first life forms to accomplish intergalactic travel. | I sat down, the helmet was sitting beside me, the couch has been in my quarters since we left Earth, that was 4 years ago, it has seen some shit, today or tonight, I don't know really, we encountered a new race, finally, they were fully functional as a society for what the white coats have found out, they have a milita... | |
Lying in your deathbed at the age of 80 you pass away, but its not how you expected it to be you see a high score while a virtual reality headset is pulled off you. | "It's over."I thought to myself. There was no one else to talk to. There hasn't been for a long time.
I've been waiting so fucking long... For peace. For happiness. I closed my eyes and laid there listening to my heart beating. After all it went through, I cant believe it's still been going after all these years.

You are the weakest, scrawniest, least powerful god in the entire Pantheon. But when the mortals finds themselves in a really dire situation, when they are hopelessly outmatched and their doom is near, they pray to you. You are Runt, the patron deity of underdogs. | Divinity... is a funny thing. Or so Nevarin liked to think. Nevarin! God of the masses! Of lost causes hard won and beloved of the disenfranchised!
It meant very little to him. He cared not for glory, or titles, but the well being of his worshipers, without condition. Something the glory hounds or as others would call... | |
You were defeated. Before you die, the most important thing to you is destroyed. A very big mistake... | For seven thousand years, I have ruled the world of man with an iron fist.
Generation after generation gave rise to heroes who would challenge my terrible might. Alliances between the kingdoms of men and elves and dwarves were forged to rise up against me, only to have the bonds of those alliances crumble with their ... | |
You find your childhood Ipod and go though your songs until you find a strange song and begin to listen... | It was like stepping through a bead curtain. It wasn't music, but a sort of chanting call. Somewhere, I recited age old words from an age old language, that no human tongue has spoken in more than a millennia. This I knew, like I knew that air is important. This I knew, like I knew water is life. Through the curtain, ... | |
You've just died... again. | As the bus hit me, I didn't even brace for the impact. It'd all become normal, part of my everyday life. I'd get up, eat breakfast, go to work, and get hit by the 5:30 to St. Paul on the way home. Even if I left early, or late, it'd always be the 5:30 to St. Paul. It had begun to get on my nerves.
But hey, I didn't re... | |
Not long ago, we were enemies. But now we are each other's only hope of survival. | The dead were everywhere, rising from the grave, just as he thought would be impossible. All the movies, facts, and sciences that claimed it would be improbable and outlandish were wrong. Dog didn't care. His mind was entranced and enraptured with one thought. Rescue her.
After nearly five years of spending every chan... | |
You've been paying your dead lovers phone bill for six months just to call and hear their voice mail. After six months, you make your last call, ready to move on, and they pick up. | "Six months.
Six months of baby steps. Slowly getting better every day. Crying a little less, smiling a little more.
I haven't had a breakdown in two months. Since April. Your birthday was in April. And I had big plans for it this year. But it's okay.
I'm going to be okay.
Because I'm ready to say goodbye. Not t... | |
A scene from The Great Gatsby film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby and Tobey Maguire as Spiderman. | The music of the party bursting through the air in an avalanche of extravagance and excess vibrated through my web as I latched onto to the overhang of the castle's roof and swung across to my neighbor's yard.
He sent me an invitation, an invitation! To me! To Spider-Man! How did he know who I was? I just moved here!... | |
SatChat: What is the best plot twist you've ever read or seen? | I was a kid, so it probably had more impact on me, but in [FF7, the twist when it's revealed that](#s "Cloud actually never actually made it into the SOLDIER program and was pretending to be Zack basically the whole time hit me pretty hard"). It was one of my first experiences with a super unreliable character/narrator... | |
Sasquatch and The Easter Bunny are sick of their jobs and decide to switch. Now people roam the forests searching for 10 foot tall bipedal rabbits, and a smelly hominid brings you treats on Easter. | >***CHAPTER 1: The new guy***
Don looked at his overnight recordings.
"This is not right"he mumbled with a subtle annoyance in his voice while staring at blurry white figures invading his pictures.
"A polar bear roaming these woodlands? I am 1000 miles away from the nearest snowflake, there has to be a different ... | |
A medieval, fictional city is under heavy assault. The enemy has breached the wall and is piling into the city. Describe the chaos and destruction from a civilians point of view. | Harold saw it coming. He could have warned them had he not been drunk. But Harold was the first to see the torches, and the men.
There was no good reason he was on the wall that night. It was a holiday, celebrating the five years since King Leon had taken the throne, and Harold was drunk. He'd spied the unguarded watc... | |
An old man awakens to the sound of a siren. | The old man sat up in bed, mumbling to himself. The room was illuminated in red, then blue, then golden, and then red once more. A loud wailing drifted from the streets. Still mumbling and half asleep, he walked to the window. He arrived just in time to see the ambulance turning the corner. Last year he wished he had s... | |
Write a story in the first person perspective without using “I”, “me”, or “my” | We don’t remember when it began. Neither of us. He’s the luckier one. He gets to die every few hundred years, forget everything and start anew. Live a new life, experience again the thrill of saving the world over and over and over.
Some of us don’t get that privilege. Some of us just grow into grouchy old men, so old... | |
7 years after finishing high school, a redditor comes out of his house. | Horace stared at the computer screen. He was on reddit of course. Reddit was the only website allowed in the Complex. Well other than imgur and anything that Reddit directed you to. In the spacious room where Horace's desk sat was hundreds of other desks. Each of them had a person and a computer. There were men, women ... | |
One person in the entire world was born without the need to sleep. He is now X years of age and for the first time in his life, he feels sleepy. | The streets twist and narrow their ways into tiny corridors stretching out on to larger streets; the main avenues swell with tourists and side-shops of high sophistication; a railway runs through the main road and drags along it a bullet-shaped tram. It is typical of a European city, for there is colour in the air, in ... | |
SatChat: NaNoWriMo is going on now, get hyped! | Hey everyone! I'm a male living in Oregon who has always loved words, but started writing only about two years ago. I had taken a trip to Iceland, and fell in love with the folklore. When I came back, a story developed in my head. It kept getting bigger and bigger, until I had to start writing it down.
The story tak... | |
No one goes outside when it rains anymore. | It'd been going on for years, and if you asked your parents why you couldn't go out and play, they always responded the same way.
"No one goes outside when it rains anymore."
You would stare out the window every time that it rained, thinking of all of the shows where people stomped in puddles and splashed one another... | |
The end of the world was rather anticlimactic, no WW3 took place, no epidemic eradicated humans. Just a few simple words from a scientist on the news, "humanity have depleted the source of water." | "Yup,"the scientist said among the frantic murmurs around the room. "The source. We used it up. All of it. So now we need to recycle all of our water, and actually go through with all of those renewable energy things."
"All of them?"A businessman asked, almost whimpering.
The scientist massaged their brow. "Yes. All ... | |
"Alright, then why DID you shoot her?" | I stared down at the stainless steel table which was bolted to the floor. The table was shiny but scratches that stained its surface distorted my reflection, but I could still make out the scruffy brown hair and tired eyes.
The cuffs around my wrists were ice cold and rubbing against my skin, causing the flesh to bec... | |
You wake at sunrise to a scroll by your pillow. On it, in flickering runes, it says “Write beautifully enough of thy true love ere the sun sets, and tomorrow shall ye waken together.” The scroll fits a hundred words. | My love burns like the moon, so brilliant at night; my guide and my compass, my welcoming light.
Memory drives me, granting no rest; my only safe harbor, my warm lover's breast.
For now I am 'lone, having strayed much too far, away from my sun, south from my star.
No choice of mine own did drive me away. No other c... | |
You have the power to predict weather perfectly, making you a world-class weather man. Your forecasts are always correct, and everyone trusts you. One day, as you're making your calculations, a new, larger number appears. | "Six."The water in the plastic bottle swishes toward my face as I wet my lips. "C'mon, man, get ready. Six. Five. Four. Three--". The cameraman's voice drifts off and he gestures the rest of the countdown, from a victory V to a solitary finger pointed up. I stare into the camera as the red "recording"light flicks on as... | |
A day in a world where silence is treasured above all else. | Kendall put down his pencil, ever so softly, on the velvet top of his front-row desk. His hands sweated in his mittens, but he didn't care. Finishing this test in acoustical physics meant that he was done with the semester. The tennis balls on the bottom of his chair were silent as he slid his chair back, ever so gentl... | |
Through a series of absurd events, you've managed to enter an Intergalactic Cooking Competition where the losers have their planets either enslaved or destroyed. You're earth's only hope, and this wouldn't be a problem if you just knew how to cook... | Well shit.
Camera orbs shot around the open-to-space arena at near light speed as the show was about to begin. Stars were visible in every direction, except for in front of me, where the sky was completely black.
An alien, resembling a raptor-esque crustacean, strutted across the multicolored floor and bowed it's lon... | |
Everyone gets an ability at the age of 25 based on the thing they do the most. Your parents were trying to get you something useful for your entire life and , on the day before your birthday, you decide to tell them about your secret hobby. | I was, ah.... unusually talented at this.
Most people spent all their life doing something. Sometimes the ability was career related. An engineer could instantly design, analyze, or even manufacture whatever he or she set their mind to, past their 25th birthday. Sometimes it was utterly mundane, like driving, whi... | |
You awake in the middle of an abandoned city. There is still power running though it and food in stock, but no matter how hard you looked you can't find a single person; though you have found some warm half-eaten food, almost as if the person eating it ran away before they could finish it. | “Not again.” I muttered as I searched through the 8th skyscraper I’d found evidence of someone else. Soup and it was hot still so maybe someone was still around? Didn’t take long to hear a new noise, crunching, Definitely getting closer then. It came from the room next door and I found the source of the crunching and m... | |
You check your letter to Santa from your adopted, Russian kid. Its addressed wrong so you check what the letter says and the first sentence reads "Comrad Claus, I have successfully infiltrated the community, they suspect nothing." | Well fuck it, my son, my dear boy, who I loved even though he was a Rusky has been a part of the communist international. I should have seen the signs, he never enjoyed the Big Mac or stared in amazement at the triumph of American ability that is Walmart. This is it, I will not have a commie under my roof, we will need... | |
Children are raised by robots in a contained environment, without any human influnce. | *Good Morning, Subject Michael Parton. It is 0725 hours. Awakening process to begin in five minutes.* The voice was metallic, fitting in the rest of the room.
I groaned, rolling over in my bed. I hadn't slept well last night. The room seemed to be smaller in the night, the walls crawling closer to me bit by bit. Five ... | |
You are a general in an intergalactic army. You've lived many lives due being cloned over again due to your skills but the memory of your first love still haunts you. One day you see her on the opposing side of the battlefield. | I was schooled at West Point Academy, the State of New York. I studied to be a brave officer who could lead men into battle and win them. That was ten-thousand years ago. I was one of the two highest graded students to ever pass the exam, the other was the woman I loved. We met on the first day of campus and we hit it ... | |
You used to love your job as a detective. But the confession from your last case still lingers in your mind and now you can barely stomach the thought of stepping into the interrogation room again. | 20 years. 20 years you've been working as a detective. "Come on. Get it together"you tell yourself. "It's been 8 months since your last case. Eight months since the 'Psycho'."It's a simple name, really. However, this time the mere mention sends even the hardest detectives weak. For months someone was targeting office... | |
after a massive battle on an alien world, every Human military group had been exterminated. As the alien battlefleet approaches Earth, gamers attempt to take charge to prevent the coming onslaught. | We had enough. We had enough of society telling us that we are losers. We had enough of people underestimating our superior intellectual and enhanced cognitive abilities. Through rigorous and repetitive training we have developed a near complete mastery of tactical planning and execution. We are a force to be reckoned ... | |
You and your friend decide to prank everyone at work/school/wherever by pretending to date. But, it's been a few weeks of "Operation Lovebird"and the hugging and kissing and hand holding starts to take place even when no one else is around to be tricked... | You know the loud palpitations every time you see the person you love, or the shaky smile and voice every time you see him, or the heartache that feels so good and bad every time you miss him?
I never thought it'll happen with Michael. He's an amazing person sure, but I never really thought of him... *that way*. We've... | |
You are in your early 20's. You've always been different but there werent any professionals able to give you answers. After doing your own research, you come across a facility promising to better your mental health and rid your depression completely. You drive to your destination. | I am unable to pinpoint the beginning of my indifference. My whole existence was held dominion by a quest to answer this question. Constantly held hostage to the prospect of freedom yet kept a slave by a mere condition? You see, I am uncertainty to whether I can call this indifference a condition. The worlds greatest m... | |
It's only been a year or so since you've been sentenced to a lifetime of imprisonment and isolation. You've never stopped feeling guilty for what you did. Today, a voice calls out your name from outside your cell. | The sound of machinery echoed throughout the tiny cell. Kira rose to her feet as a panel moved to reveal a small hole the size of a bowling ball. A small white drone descended from the hole before the panel returned to its original spot. The drone matched the pristine white self-cleaning walls inside the cell. It had a... | |
You are the 'other' personality to a person with multiple personality disorder, but for whatever reason you don't make yourself known. | I've been sitting in here for years and have never taken over. The truth is that I like going along for the ride, and this man I am with is pretty interesting. He travels a lot and is constantly hiking new mountains and banging new women. It is quite great. Sometimes I take over the penis for a minute while he is in on... | |
"A psychic? No, no. What we're dealing with here is a psy-chic." | "We apprehended the suspect an hour ago, so far he's not proving to be cooperative. So we need your help to interrogate him"said the chief of police.

"Uhh, no psy-chic actually"rep... | |
Savage Matter - Superstition - 2888 words. | Hi, I'm one of the judges for your group here with some feedback.
So I enjoyed the overall plot, especially the bit about creating an infinite number of possibilities to overload the simulations of Central. I don't know the first thing about the physics that go into creating such a set of circumstances that would resu... | |
A hard, gritty reboot of The Magic School Bus. | *Here's my attempt*
We were cruising down main street, relaxed and feeling good. Next thing that we know we saw... an octopus in the neighborhood!? Now we knew something was wrong here, even the Frizz was confused by this turn in events, but we kept driving anyway. Suddenly, it happened, the buses walls started to bec... | |
Take any childhood fairy tale or turn it into a dark and twisted story. | Gepetto was still at work on his marionettes late at night when he heard a knock on his door. Reluctantly, he got up from his desk, briefly brushed the wood dust from the front of his apron and went to answer the door.
His neighbor, Antonio, was there with a bright smile on his face. "Gepetto my friend, how are you?... | |
It is the day the Berlin wall was built. you are now trapped on the wrong side of the wall to the rest of your family. | Aug 13
