ADDICTIVE LOVE

It read: "Mr. Richards wants you to get ready by 5:30 pm. He intends to leave by 6:45 pm." She put the paper to the side and looked at the time on the wall clock. It was past noon. She still had plenty of time. What was she even going to do to fill up all that extra time? She decided to go to his library and she pick a book. She found one of the books she had previously tried to read. For some reason, the book on seduction kept popping up like it was something the universe wanted her to read. She had read it before but was only able to make it past the first four chapters. Ever since then, she had forgotten that the book had existed until now. With nothing more interesting left to do, she he

A Second Chance at Life

I caught Rebecca off guard with my words, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Suddenly, Sebastian Robinett, the orphanage's director, spoke up from the side. "Tyler, this is where you're wrong," he said, his voice heavy with disapproval. Sebastian wasn't just the honorary director of the orphanage, but also our college dean, earning a hefty salary in the millions. My company, Hale Group, funded both institutions. But now, here he was, lecturing me like I had done something wrong.

And the only subject I shared with Edrien was what delimited my concentration. “Time,” he announced, adjusting his glasses, “its unit is hours, minutes, seconds…” and the rest makes me lazy. He spent the hour transcribing his class into my notebook, without mentioning that my hieroglyphs were not understandable and even if they were well written he still wouldn't understand. “I chose the pairs for the following works on the basic theories of time,” Professor Hemmings spoke slowly, “The pairs are Navarro with Smith, Irwin with Lombardi,…”

Whispers of a Second Chance

Whispers of a Second Chance

She reached out and gently took the schedule again, her fingers tracing the lines as if searching for a hidden flaw. "You are doing well, Tyra!" Joana exclaimed, her voice brimming with enthusiasm. I rolled my eyes at her, trying to mask the wave of self-doubt that threatened to engulf me. "Just doing what needs to be done," I mumbled, pushing the thought aside. The stack of papers, meticulously organized and filled with contact information, felt heavy in my hands. I started making calls, my fingers flying across the keyboard as I scheduled appointments with the distributors for Marco's birthday party. The event was a major undertaking, and I was determined to make it a success.

Sinful Seduction

Did you learn to keep time, it said. She did not need to ask who. She let the answer wait until the car from the airport had delivered her to her building and the elevator had made its silent climb and her door had admitted her into the life that smelled of clean soap and old books and a plant that forgave neglect. Only then did she respond. Yes, she wrote. I learned to keep time. I also learned to lose it on purpose. The reply came quickly. Good. Do not forget either lesson.

A Second Chance in Life

“Elysia, what are you doing? Hurry and speak with the two gentlemen…” My father’s voice echoed through the private dining hall of the Falcone family estate. I jolted awake from my daze, my head spinning violently. The world tilted before my eyes, as if an electric current had surged straight through my brain. I had been sent back in time three years ago, to the very day my sister and I were made to choose our husbands. The sound of the explosion still seemed to ring in my ears, with smoke and fire flashing through my memory. I clenched my palm hard, again and again, trying to confirm whether this was a dream, but pain shot through my hand.

No Second Chances

My mother sounded thrilled, but quickly caught herself. "Wait, what about Vittorio you've been with for years?" "He's gone." She let out a heavy sigh. "When are you planning to return home?" "In about two weeks." Hanging up, I looked back at the towering skyscraper and felt a sense of bitterness. I gave Vittorio the chance before, but he never valued it. Now that he chose to cast me aside, I would do the same to him. The next day, I slept in until noon and only headed to the headquarters afterward to hand in my resignation. Unexpectedly, as I walked from the design department to HR, colleagues kept congratulating me. Serena Russo, the HR manager, dragged me into her office the second I arriv

Second Bloom

Second Bloom

*The Brief for the Second Life* is published in March. The publisher who released the first book says, when she sends it, that the second book is harder to categorize and easier to read and will find a different audience from the first — not larger necessarily, but different. She says: yes. That is correct. The first book is for people who make things. The second book is for people who are wondering why what they make matters, and for the people who learn from watching the makers.

Her works dive into the human side of historical events, and 'Secondhand Time' is no exception—it captures the voices of ordinary people navigating the collapse of the Soviet Union. The way she weaves these personal stories together is haunting and unforgettable. If you're into raw, emotional narratives that feel like a punch to the gut, this book is a must-read. Alexievich’s style is unique, blending journalism and literature in a way that’s hard to put down.
