Book Life On Earth Novels & Stories

"That is air. And we should take the left door. Water." I frown. "How can you be so sure?" "Easy. Earth appears as a blue mass because most of it is water. Water flows. And the first life originated in water. Loss of water leads to death and excess of water means Tsunami that leads to death too." She says and I raise my eyebrows. I totally underestimated her brain. "Let's go and you can live to thank me later." She walks towards the door. Only if she was not a total bitch, we would have been friends.

The book on my lap fell to the ground. Alex picked it up and scanned the cover. "Human Biology." He arched a brow in my direction. "You can read?" The edges of my lips tilted at his question. "Yes, my mother taught me. She used to draw words and letters in the sand when I was younger. I had not seen a book until now, though. Mother often said the leaves were delicate and would tear apart in water. There were times when she said books were like life. Sometimes it took on a drop of disaster to tear our lives apart."

It was extremely difficult to find books that she hadn’t read. It annoyed Yuna that most of them were outdated books that contained myths. Some of them stated that the earth was flat. Yuna found it funny that people thought that they'd fall to their deaths after reaching the end of the earth. They'd probably walk around the whole world before finding out that they came back to their original location. If only humans could walk that far. It seemed nearly impossible.

She looked stunned when they brought her into the room, something we're all used to when someone outside the family sees Pop's largess for the first time up-close and personal. "Wow, what is this?" She gravitated to the books that lined one wall, all classics, most of which were collector's editions. "Is this an original Herodotus?" She pulled her hand back from the volume making the twins laugh, and me smile. She acts like Pop and Uncle Garrett with books. They swear the rest of us are heathens because we don't all genuflect before the greats like they do.

If not for her Mother God, she would have already jumped up to teach him a lesson. "Hmm. That's one of the ways to see the physical manifestation of the universe. You see, different creatures see the world differently. Your life was centered on the planet you were born on. Still, you just consider it as part of a bigger cluster. But that's not all there is to it. The planet you consider a normal living habitat is actually the core of a bigger dimension that goes beyond the boundaries of the galaxy. The controlling unit of your world is the Earth. Or as you people call her, Mother Earth. She was born into that world, just like I was into this one. It was not that long ago that she created you

They were stuck so deep in my thoughts that I couldn't shake them. Of course, I hated her and Henry! Meanwhile, Eva had found where Mom and Dad were buried. I never got the chance to say goodbye to them. "Brina, hang in there. There's still so much ahead of you," Eva said, giving my shoulder a comforting pat. I stared at the overgrown patch of ground before me, consumed by nothing but boiling, helpless anger. Joanna had taken Mom and Dad's ashes back to her hometown—a place surrounded by sewage pits, with a stench so awful it hit me in the throat. But I had no clue where exactly they were buried.

Bored. I leave the cell phone on the bedside table and take the guitar in my hands. Yes, this is my dream, to be a world renowned artist. I have a notebook with written lyrics that I love to sing when I'm alone in my room with nothing to do. It relaxes me and filters my stress. I play a soft melody that instantly makes me close my eyes so that the inspiration flows by itself, the voice comes out of me before I can think about it. Between heaven and earth I am

A demon body could hardly survive the atmosphere of earth for two months without a host. Earth was called a piece of heaven for the same reason. This universe was actually made of many things. But only earth had humans living on. And the reason was simple. Earth was made of the actual piece of heaven. The beauty, the aroma, the warmth and the colours, they were all part of heaven. That was the reason, it became an impression. Earth, a piece of heaven. Lucian looked at the demon of Paranoia, Phobus. Phobus was also smirking mischievously while looking at Lucian. They both were thinking about the same thing.

And just like that, the covers of all four books–Nyllan’s complete works–were suddenly before me. The first book held the cover image of a seedling, a plant in its infancy; at birth. The second cover showed a green, growing bud, finding its potential and bursting through the surface of the earth. The last had been a withering blossom, brown and decaying in death. In tandem, they represented birth, growth, and death. An unassuming, unsophisticated testament of the life cycle.

He asks with something in his voice I can't quite identify. "You don't know." I say with a slight chuckle in my voice. "Just pick one." I watch idle as he sifts through all the books until he picks one. House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas. "That is one of my favourite books. Although I might just be biased because I love her writing." I lean back in the chair with a satisfied look on my face. "What makes you love someone's writing?" He sits back in his chair and looks at me curiously.
