  1. It was eleven o'clock when the phone rang, it was my granny. She invited me to collect berries. Next morning we went to forest. We were approached by an old man, he told us how much the forest had been polluted for the last years. Then the whole family gathered to remove debris.

    2. Yulia, your story is very instructive! Now many people forget, that they can change the world around them. And it's really important, that someone can remind them this thing.
      When I read your story, I remember the book named "Don't shoot at white swans". The main hero of this story protects the nature and believes, that man and nature are connected.

    3. Yulia, good evening. Actually, problems that you touched are really relevant today. Of course, our duty is to protect our planet. Especially we must protect our forests. However, here I can see some small details that can lift the veil of your story secrecy. Of course, you can say that I'm reading many scary books but... Does anybody have thought about lonely old man who lived in the forest? Why does he walk through the forest alone? It would be so scary to meet somebody in the forest, wouldn't it?

      Why does greybeard go alone?
      Maybe it's better you go home.
      Does the greybeard has an axe?
      May be it will stick out of your backs.

    4. Yulia,
      To my mind, it`s too boring. May be I didn`t catch... But it`s my opinion.

    5. Good evening, Yulia. Your story reminds me my childhood when I went to forest with my grandparents. We picked berries, mushrooms and did a lot of things. I agree with Michael. We all know how important it is to keep the environment in a good condition. And I beleive that we should start from ourselves. It is really good that you want to help our nature.

  2. A dream.
    It was incredibly realistic dream. He heard muffled voices and crying sounds. He was in the ground. Actually,he was in the coffin.But he was alive.
    Wow,what a terrible nightmare.
    Okey,it is time to wake up.
    He pinches himself.Again and again.
    It was not a dream...

    4. Hello, Daria. I had many different thoughts when I read this "story". Forgive me for my criticism, please. I think that it is not a story, because there is no single and clear thought and no plot. But here we can see something from another genre. Maybe it is connected with your life, at least i think so. Here you tried to provoke some thoughts in our heads. And you did it. Your achievement is that everybody can find here some thoughts personally. And it's great!


      You are laying in the coffin.
      You are drowned in the darkness
      Do you think you can do nothing?
      I'll tell you: "you aren't armless."

    5. Thank you for your story, Daria. It reminds me an old good horror movie with ghosts, vampires and other monsters. I think that many people like creepy stories because of unprediction and the way the author makes his readers feel more and more "terrified". I find it interesting and I'm agree with Michael. This short story can also be a good "intro" for some really cool and interesting stories.

    6. This story reminded me the scene of the film "Kill Bill", when the main hero tried to get out of the coffin. I suppose, this situation is horrifying. But unfortunately, there are some cases of this type... When doctors think that person have already died, but it isn`t right. And people come round....but not in the hospital.

  3. Loneliness.
    As usual he was sitting in rocking chair and his brows were furrowed. Everyone thought, that Charlie was angry and greedy old man. Every night bad-quality sounds were heard from the ancent patifon in his house.
    Every night Charlie remembered his wife and looked at her photo. She left him.

    1. Ira, it's so sad story. It made me think about my old age. I think people need to appreciate others and enjoy every moment. Do you agree with me ?

    2. I absoluteiy agree with you. The main idea of this story is show, that we should not judge people until
      we doesn't know about their life. Maybe we should ask them "What hapened?" and help them. I thing, it will be a noble deed.

    3. Ira, is it legal to write so sad stories? Actually, it is very "strong" idea for something bigger than that. For a little novel or a poem (As you can see I like poetry). Of course it is so awful to stay alone without any person who would love you. And many old people, who lost someone who were close to them become angry and greedy. But Charlie has some memory about his wife. And it is the most important.
      Whenever you're trying to find her here
      You always lose.
      But if you'll make another choose
      You could find her near.

    4. Good evening, Irina. Thank you for your story. It is really sad when people lose somebody they love or just who they want to spend their time with. Such a small object as a photo can help a person to keep in mind good memories about who this person lost. I think that listening to music helps us to releive some stress which we get in our every day life and it's really useful when a person tries to live after a tragedy.

    5. It`s really sad story. And the saddest that there are nobody who can help this man to cope with the difficulties... It`s a big tragedy to stay alone in old age. I think, it`s dreadful. There are one interesting film, which named "Love" and directed by Michael Haneke. This story shows the love of the elderly. Wife is slowly dying, and her husband cares for her. It`s really difficult film, but I advise you to watch it.

  4. He was standing in the long white corridor. The black hooded mantle was speaking with him. He knew that he hadn`t done much. Suddenly he heard the sound of the life supporting machine.
    -What`s happening?
    -You`re coming back.
    -What should I do?
    - Carpe diem, my friend.
    The black mantle disappeared.

    1. Vasiliy, it's great short story! Carpe Diem - it's not just a phrase from some "dead" language. It's life style. May be It's not very useful for our days because of responsibility of every person. But it is still ideology of many people all over the world.
      You are tired, aren't you?
      Don't you want to leave the queue?
      Don't you want to break the scheme?
      Listen closer: CARPE DIEM.

    3. Vasiliy,have you ever seen the film "Dead Poets Society"? The main idea of this film is exactly Carpe Diem. I think you'll enjoy it!

    An elderly fisherman heard a splash. It was quite loud and he thought that it might be a big fish. He stood up, took his binoculars and tried to peer through the fog. He didn’t believe his eyes. An enormous reptile was swimming not far from him. He screamed.

    1. German, it is so cool story! Have you ever read the "The Old Man And The Sea" by Hemingway? Your story has mentioned it to me. To my mind, it's very scared to be alone with nature especially when you fishing at a depth.

    2. Interesting theme, German. When Yulia tells us about nature problem, you show how contact with nature could be dangerous. Of course, it is because of human activity, which is harmful for our planet. It is interesting to look on the problem from the other side. Thank you for this opportunity.

  6. So, after all this problems with my account i solved it. Here is my story! And it is very bad :c

    The Mermaid
    One day old sailor swam through waves to the beach. He almost died, but the stranger saved him. Stranger told to Sailor one old story, about mermaid, which were hunting lonely travelers in the sea or on the beach. She enticed lonely man by her voice and nobody else ever saw that person. He did it as he knew every single detail. After that the Stranger turned around and went to the water.

    P.S. It is the only first part of the story, without any plot or details. I've just set up the scene for story more bigger than this.

    1. It`s very similar to the ancient Greek myth about sirens. This creatures looked like beautiful mermaid with wonderful voice, which helped them to lure sailors. Unfortunately, pretty "mermaids" were unkind, and people, which succumbed to their tricks were died...

  7. How often do we see the dreams? What happens with us, when we sleep. Can our dreams come to the realilty? Is the a prophetic dream real or not? This questions connect us during all our life.

    In my full story I will say about three main theories about the origin of our dreams. Can memories form the dreams? Or maybe it's a joke of our brain? Do you believe that the soul of man lives several lives? Maybe it's the reason to dream?

    Everyone of us will take his own choice. If you want to read a full story... Send me a letter.
