Upon a time, there was a very small and happy girl named Bia.
She was adventurous, curious, kind, and lovely.
She loved to go to the doctor. She ate all her vegetables as they were candy and never was mean to anyone. ( or so she thought) And she had a big kitten she took care of very well.
But she was also not perfect. She had an incredibly big fear when she needed to go far from her house (the ship) because she thought she would get lost.
She also hated to eat in restaurants or any place that was not her house because she always had a stomach ache afterward. She never liked kids or adults that she did not know for more than 3 months and was very rude to them.
Also, she liked to plan everything. She would spend hours thinking about hypothetical scenarios. When something got out of the plan she became very anxious and could not do anything more.
Every time one of those things happened, she had a very strong stomach ache and her mother h
With this book, Bia first learned about her parent's history.She would spend hours in the afternoon lying on the wooden floor of her room on the boat just reading the book.It was a huge book made entirely of dark leather. There was nothing on the cover, just the leather, so that a thief would not think it was valuable. But if you dared to open the book the first words you would read were "treasure book".The first time Bia opened the book she did not know what treasure means so she did not got from the first page before letting the book aside and going back to play.The second time she opened the book, it was just because she was very bored. But as she already knew what a treasure was, it had become the most interesting book she ever read.The first page contained a list of rulesBia already knew even before she could read.Before I said what they are, there is this interesting story about it:When B
First, I need to tell you about how it was actually written in the treasure book because it will be very different from how I will tell you the story.The next pages were written all a sequence of information:A nameA dateA placeA sum of moneyA noteThe treasure book was used to register the loot of every person in the crew. There were also conflicts, deaths, riots and things like shi
A family of very humble magicians. They helped noble warriors and heroes, but they never charged anything. Well, they believed they would always be rewarded. For this reason, they lived in a very humble condition, even though they were mighty magicians. The magician couple's children were three. None of them wanted to follow the wizard's path, as they assumed they would be miserable like their parents. The older one was Igor, he was intelligent but sometimes too bold. He had black long hair and already had a small beard. The second one was Allan, he was aromatic, energetic, and I trusted people effortlessly. He was very similar to his older brother, but had medium hair and no beard. The last one was Gawain. He was a copy of his older brothers, with short hair and a baby face. He was very cautious and slow, but because of that, I always got leftovers Later, when the boys' mother had long since perished, and the father was extremely ill, the children decided to
Gawain and Ivan traveled every night till the sun rose. They would search for a place with food and water and sleep in the open all day.They had enough money to buy food and shelter for five days, but Igor was getting homesick already in the second day.Before, when he traveled with his brothers, he felt like he belonged somewhere. Now, it was just him and Ivan, alone in the vast worldwide.His cowardly part was always trying to convince him to give up and go to town with his brothers. But the fearless part he'd grown up with during the journey kept him focused on his goal, he was conscientious of being Gawain, the most cowardly son of the great dastardly wizard. Ivan was a great company, he protected Gawain not only from beasts and outlaws, but also from the loneliness.At the end of the third day, Gawain and Ivan arrived in a very dark forest.You could only distinguish the branches of the first trees that started the forest.It was as if
What is the meaning of those two words?To be, is the first verb you learn in an English course.A phrase contemplated by philosophers and drama writers.But for baby Bee, sleep drink and grown, was her to be.It was all she knows, it was all she could do.She never complained, asked questions or even thought any thought herself.But she was. Deeply, that as all she knew.Then her eyes grown, and she saw the sun for the first time.The faint light of day illuminated her little honeycomb at the entrance to the hive.The first bright spot in the darkness.Still, she felt nothing.What's the use of seeing the sun if you don't know what it is?The little bee still only knew how to eat, sleep and grow.Anything else was useless and futile.Baby bee had gained a sense of vision, but she still didn't see meaning in things.Everything changed when the legs grew.Baby Bee, as if by
Now let's speak about hidden treasures and pirates.For Bia, her parents were. . .Traders of a different type, but there was a time, when her thoughts on her family business changed completely.Let's tell a story to make the explanation easier.It all started with a desperate:-I swear! I don't have any money on me now! -Bia's parents cast a disgusted look at the moribund pirate.The pirate gives a poor look at the Bia that hides behind the legs of his parents, trying to earn pity. From her protected place, she had the courage to ask:-So why did you buy from us and say you'll pay later?-They took everything I had! They killed my men. Only I managed to escape. Little, you have no idea about how cruel the navy is.-Bia's father picks her up and tells the pirate:-It's the first day we've taken her together, couldn't you set a better example?- As he finishes the sentence, he draws the sword with his free hand and
Once upon a time, there lived a kind cople of elders.They had a beautiful love story. They were friends since childhood and stayed by each other side till they became old. Nothing could their them apart. Not even the fact that the woman could not get pregnant.They lived happy, in a small village, covered in snow half the year.There were happy children, enough food every winter and no war, just the calm peace.Even so, in the beautiful small hut where the elders lived, you could smell a faint of sadness. They were old, but had no one to look after them. Every day they wok up very early to go to the fields to work till night fall. It became harder and harder, and the couple feel more and more lonely.Every day they would go to the village temple to pray. The pray was always the same." Please, let us have a bit of sunshine, in the form of a beautiful small person, who we can call our child."The problem was, there w
The first volume of Strange Short Stories is now available on as an ebook and physical book! Why should I buy it if I can read for free here? -The book has an extra chapter and illustrations that are not available on other platforms. The book contains corrected and improved versions of all the stories, leading to a whole new reading experience! (I'm sorry to leave you with the old version, but I preferred not to get rid of the originals!) Overall, reading the physical version of a book is always a more rewarding and comfortable experience. With that in mind I decided to publish the physical version of the book for those who feel that way too. Unfortunately, paper and ink are expensive. Anyway, hope you enjoy my work. By buying the physical book, you will be helping me finish the second volume faster!
