The Education of Henry Appel and other stories

By: R. Joiner

Designed for the discriminating reader who expects a good story, good characters, and above all an aesthetic experience. It's in the language, you know? Contact me at R1234J@hotmail.com...

There goes Le Roi de Soliel rolling down the hill. Like Roy always says: the first thing you do when you open one of these gallon jugs is toss the cap away. Now, he’s tumbling down a dirt path in the Presidio with the lights of The City winking behind and the GGB, a waterfront hack’s “golden”, glistening through the light fog and beckoning dead ahead. Michigan Bob gets to Roy first to make sure the wine is intact, both of them laughing and coughing, a couple of lunatics in the darkness. Just like them to howl at a new moon as now here comes Tex plummeting down the hill to meet them, hoping he can arrest his momentum before he bowls them over like a couple of tenpins needed for a spare. ...

Revenant

By: R. Valentine

Abby Rose is a member of the Vanguard but she also waits tables at the O Motel Bar & Grill between her shifts of zombie killing. When a town full of people close to Abby's home are murdered in a strange and viscous way, Abby and her team find themselves fighting side by side with members of the Vampire increment guard. Team members are killed. Truths are revealed, and Abby becomes bait as she finds herself in the middle of a tangled web of lies. Loss is prevalent in this world, but can Abby avoid the loss of love? Or will the secrets from the past be too much to take? Everything dies, and when it does, it stays dead—or she thought....

The plague didn't spread like the old Hollywood movie scenes. There were no neat epidemic maps or calculations, and soon there was no Army, Navy or Air Force left to guide us with direction and show us the way. The infection didn't spread like rolling waves or wildfire—there weren't enough people left for that—but the infection was strong, and in the first days it spread quickly and with-it taking thousands of the remaining few. Life on our planet was dying and both species wanted to survive, so when the Vampires offered humans a solution, we readily and greedily signed on the proverbial dotted line. Neither party aware of the oversight they were making. A world without humans meant a world without blood, so while they created “I-M”, we formed the receiving lines—and for a time blood became the new currency. It wasn't mandatory; it was optional, but thousands of us lined up anyway. Ageless immortality had been packaged neatly in a little vial. It kept the humans’ human and the Vampires fed. The serum made us stronger, healthier and closely immortal without changing the person into one of them. For some immortality seemed a small...

VROOOM

By: Jaime Abram Lerner

Vrooom é um romance contemporâneo que se passa na pré-história, quando o homo sapiens estava recém dando seus primeiros passos na comunicação oral. Pode ser visto também como uma fábula alegórica que questiona termos como progresso e civilização. O projeto de sua publicação digital foi contemplado no edital FAC Digital RS 2020....

"O medo recolheu toda a tribo para dentro da caverna, mas apesar da grande plateia presente foi o parto menos assistido, pois a atenção de todos se fixava na tempestade impiedosa. A parturiente gemia enquanto o vento uivava num dueto de arrepiar. Gemia pelas dores do parto, pelo abandono, pela aflição dos dentes batendo em volta, pelo mistério das forças que arremessavam chuvas e trovoadas contra a rocha que os abrigava. No meio de toda a balbúrdia, ninguém ouviu o choro inaugural cuja sonoridade determinava o nome de quem nascia na tribo. Por isso, ele foi chamado de Vrooom, mistura de vento e trovão, como o som da tempestade que abafou seu pranto quando foi expelido da caverna uterina e vislumbrou o mundo pela primeira vez."...

Eve Treif Animus

By: Hon. Richard Ward Custer

Within the Comedy Version of "Anarchemy", the Corporate Governance Committee has finally met it's match; -an her name is Eve... -The Late-Night Corporate Comedy Show Host for Telco; -an disenfranchised affiant of the C.G.C. as their aging-Board explores an tragic experience with A.I.

Ούριος άνεμος

By: Μαρία Δριμή

Ο Αρμάντο Χότζα ισορροπούσε για πολύ καιρό πάνω σε τεντωμένο σκοινί, ανασαίνοντας τον ουρανό και τους ούριους ανέμους του, αλλά χωρίς να ξεχνάει ότι από κάτω παραμονεύει ο γκρεμός και το τέλος....

Челленджер

By: Ян Росс

Илья – герой нашего времени. Он хорошо образован, занимается любимым делом, имеет неплохой заработок, понимающих друзей, но при этом безмерно одинок. Он пытается разобраться в себе, в своих отношениях с женщинами, друзьями и неугомонным начальником… Действие романа происходит в американском штате Калифорния. Илья работает в биомедицинском стартапе в Силиконовой долине. Он воспринимает окружающий мир с сарказмом, рассуждает о смыслах жизни, пытается нащупать свой путь далеко не всегда принятыми в обществе средствами. Роман "Челленджер" – о поколении хайтека; тех, кто родился до того, как появилась их профессия. Высокие технологии преображают не только окружающий мир, но и своих создателей – поколение Челленджер, детство которого началось со взлёта и гибели космического корабля, и которому слишком знакома внутренняя пустота, сравнимая лишь с Бездной Челленджера – самой низкой точкой поверхности Земли, расположенной в Марианской впадине....

Достоевский утверждал, что красота спасёт мир. Красота всегда казалась непостижимой и таинственной. Художники, композиторы, поэты, писатели веками искали её формулу. А современная математика нашла и выразила её простым дифференциальным уравнением. И сейчас, вопреки уставу научной гильдии, я поведаю вам эту страшную тайну....

He finds it necessary to return to Germany in order to clear his conscience and cure a severe depression caused by an incident that occurred while at the POW camp Stalag VII-A Moosburg....

Victor Cantor stood on the deck of the troop ship as it passed the Statue of Liberty and slowly eased its way to the dock in lower Manhattan. There were thousands of people visible on shore and he was watching for a glimpse of his family. He had never seen his daughter Jane, now three years old. He had a picture in his wallet but it was over a year old. His wife, Ellie hadn’t written in several months, or more likely her letters had been lost by his German captors or The Red Cross. Victor was deep in thought. He had spent the last several months in a prison camp at Stalag VII-A in Moosburg. He had been a gunner aboard a B17 Flying Fortress for a year prior to being shot down. He was very good at what he had done while occupying the tail gunning position on the aircraft and during his 26 missions had downed 5 German fighter planes....

A Visit to the Cinema

By: Vougar Aslanov

The most interesting and important event for the boys of the old, already semi-derelict school of the small town was going to the movies and the following discussion of the new film. But most had rarely the opportunity to go to the cinema and everyone who was lucky to see a new film retold for days again and again the contents until all the others knew the whole movie by heart without seeing it themselves. Especially the younger pupils lacked the money, but even the older ones had often not enough to by a ticket. Because for a ticket one had to pay twenty kopeks, otherwise one could not enter the cinema....

The Milkman

By: Vougar Aslanov

The book keeper of the hospital of a small provincial town came one day home very tired. He had not the least desire to have dinner and so he decided to lay down at once and to sleep. In recent years it often happened, that he, after coming home in the evening, had dinner and immediately went to bed without a word to his already grown up children or his wife. She became more and more grumpy in view of his seclusion. He only wanted to sleep, to sleep soundly till daybreak of the next and probably again undesirably day which he always impatiently anticipated, only to immerse again in his coma. For any reason he remembered this evening his childhood in a state between vigil and slumber....
