Last week it snowed. We get excited by snow, maybe because for as long as snow lasts, we sense a connection to an older version of the world, a time before cities, when poodles were still wolves, horses unbroken, cattle undomesticated, when we drank no other animal’s milk and symmetry was a rare occurrence. When it snows, nature reclaims what once was hers. Snow covers the concrete, the asphalt, the pavements, the cars, the strict urban lines, the perfect circles and curves, the artificial habitat we constructed for us because we thought we ...

CW: Mature themes and sexual content Long time no see She lets me in murmuring something like Hello and leads me through the corridor to the kitchen. The whole apartment is like a shrine. All the walls are plastered with photos of him, and I mean all the walls. It’s as if she gathered all these memories, these moments frozen in time, and couldn’t decide which ones mattered most, so she printed them all and plastered them across the walls, arranged them carefully in frames on tables, on shelves. The sight is not unpleasant, after all he was ...

The guy in the bed next to his groaned and emitted a strange sound. It didn’t sound right, but he couldn’t turn to check what was the matter with him. Any movement resulted in pain in different parts of his body. He didn’t know exactly where he was hurt, and apart from the pain, he wanted badly to turn to his side or to rearrange his pillow. His back was sore, the sheets felt uncomfortable against his body. The guy next to him gagged and started spitting out something foul. A stench overpowered the hospital’s odour of bleach, bathroom, medic...

“Hey, grab another bier, man. Yeah, sorry, I’m usually more polite, but tonight I’m a bit rattled. Yes, thank you. Why am I rattled? Oh, so we’re doing that now, are we? A man walks into a bar and unburdens his soul to the kind bartender who always lends an ear. Just like in the movies. Sure, why not? Let’s do it. As it seems, you have time, I don’t see any other customersaround, and it’s not that I’m planing to come back again. No offence, man, but your bar is not really my cup of tea. Yours neither? Hahaha! Looks like we’re on the same pag...

Subject: Request for Appointment and Supervision Inquiry for Bachelor Thesis 20. From Sullivan, Finley, <finley.sullivan@farberginstitute.edu> 04.06.2024, 07:27 Dear Kim,I’m honestly speechless. It deeply pains me that you chose to use this very thread of emails, our shared space of communication as evidence against me. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive that.I suppose this is the end of what we had. It saddens me to say it, but this isn’t how a relationship, any relationship, should end. I’m feeling incredibly frustrated an...

You know what, Mr. Spinner? I quit. That’s it. I won’t tolerate your rudeness or your sense of entitlement anymore. I don’t understand why you have to behave like you do, you arrogant, self-centred jerk. I won’t take it anymore. That’s it! How can you treat us like that? How can you show so little empathy for someone who has dedicated their life to you? Because I have, I hope you see it, but most probably you don’t. I neglected my studies and eventually I dropped out of college to work for you. I’ve lost all my friends, because every bit of ...
