Story “Do you have skeleton in the cupboard? I do.”

by Melnik Anna 

Do you have skeleton in the cupboard? I do. I promised myself not to reveal my secret. It’s hard and even scary to remember. But I have to. I am 78 and I feel that I will die soon. All my life I kept this secret. But I can not die keeping it... I just can’t. I must, must, must tell it ... 

Do you have a skeleton in the cupboard? I do

All people have some secrets. Everybody owns some information, which he/she doesn’t want to share with anyone else. It can be an action, story, words, which were made up and which you want to forget. Especially, when it is about something bad.

Do you have a skeleton in the cupboard? I do

by Yakovenko Andrey 

If we do ask anybody whether they have their skeleton in the cupboard, we won`t get a simple answer. In the way that people expound and comprehend this expression they`re going to tell you about it. Is such “skeleton” a typical unpleasant thing that had happened to us, the skills we can`t execute or just an original fears?

First of all, I want to admit that my skeleton is not in the cupboard – it is on the loft in my summer cottage. His name is Bob and he doesn’t have a jaw.

Silver Mirror

by Konova Maria

to imitate the style of the author you like & write the story or dialogue (Edgar Allan Poe)

The story I am going to tell you happened many years ago. Nobody has ever heard it. I feel that the
time of my departure is near and I don’t want to pass away with my conscience unclean. Only few
people in this town remember that I haven’t been always as lonely as I am now. Those days my
family consisted of a beautiful niece, whose name was Julia. Her parents were both doctors and
died when the last epidemic of plague struck. She was the loveliest girl you could ever imagine.

What should we do?

by Olha Kolesnyk

There was a square. “What?”, - you’ll ask. And I’ll prove that there was the square. But it was not just the square. It had no corners. Can you imagine? The square without corners! But there were four lines. They had also names. It shouldn’t be surprise for you. They had names Lilly, Jessie, Nicole and Louise. It was afternoon when Jessie asked:

The Bottle of Happiness

by Kinovych M.

It was a bottle of happiness on the table. Man who was lying on the floor near it had drunk happiness to the dregs.
 From his childhood he suffered from unhappiness and misery. He could do nothing with this, because each time he felt satisfaction and gladness the situation resulted in catastrophe. One day he decided to stop this chain of affliction and swore to find the way out. He heard the legend about The Bottle of happiness which can be found only by a man who has nothing to lose. The legend told that this bottle is hidden in monastery in Himalayas and for reaching it you have to fly like an eagle, swim like a fish and creep like a snake.

Semi-distracted story

By Roman Melnyk

The exact protagonist, enough bright with eyes kind of full-of-life’s-burden. Strange! Strange! Definitely abnormal! Southern scream, star dusty looks, curved with ornaments dead pigeons, pigs and ferrets near her feet.

• “Happiness and health to you, many years of happy life, a strong health and marvelous news on TV, grateful children and grand-grand offspring, luck, river of trust and trustworthy friends, chocolate dreams and their jelly urgent silky realization. And many other warm-hearted wishes for your non-existent yet life, my dear boy”.    

Era of being alone

By Maria Dumanskaya

Loneliness is the biggest fear for all people without exception. And in nowadays seems that a lot of people live with this fear. Especially the youth. I don’t want to say it about all of us, but if to surf the internet, you’ll find a lot themes and comics like “forever alone” and etc. There are a lot of comments like “it is so me”. I think that this is not good, because people got used to live in a closed way, spending almost all of their free time watching films, sitcoms, blogging and so on. They think that it’s a good alternative for living in a real world with real relationships.

Life (imitating Ernest Hemingway)

By M.D.

Today I woke up because of the pain in my spine. It reminded me those days when I was sent to France in 1918. I thought that I had a real life, but the first battle helped me to wake up from the dream, where I used to live. That was a reality of our existence. War. During only the first battle I was witness of the death of the man, who had told me a minute ago about his plans and his lonely mother. And then he was lying with a hole in his head.

The Lie

By O.K.

No, I can’t believe. The darkness in my head turns me off from this cruel reality. You’ve never wanted to be my friend. Oh, dear, tears and tears. They are my only true friends. I’m feeling a little fevered. Little ugly spiders crawl on my head and larvae in my mouth. No, no, no… I’m trying to find, your warm hand but the only thing I can see is Darkness. No, you’ve gone. I lean on the cold and wet wall. Lie. You’ve been always lying to me. All that I have is on the floor, it’s broken. It feels like my own blood there. My hand scrambles down slowly along the wall. Yes, I scratch my hands by rigid stones inside the wall. No, you just don’t deserve me. You’ve always been so self-confidence to me. But I want to see your cruel face again. That’s horrible feeling when you’ve broken the black piano of our feelings. I can’t believe in this fairy tale anymore. 

Story about childhood, ages/ stages of life

By Olena Chelysheva.

***

I wake up in the morning

And what did I see?

Strange worrying faces

Are looking at me

Maybe they are monsters

Terrify my dream,

I’m only youngster

So began to scream

- Hush-sh, my little daughter,-

Mother sings, -

We are always near

Wish you pleasant things

***

- I hate kindergarten

May I stay at home?

- Sure, - smiles kindly father

Just don’t tell your mum

I will teach you carefully

How to drive a car

So you would be able

To travel so far
