Khloe sat defiantly in the back seat of the car. The battle was on. She stared at me.
“I’m not going to ask you again. Put your seat belt on.” We glared at each other through the rear view mirror.
“Mom!” She screams. “I don’t want to.”
“If you don’t put your seatbelt on, if we have an accident, you can die.”
“Mom, God isn’t going to kill babies.”
Immediately stunned into silence, I panicked for a good comeback. Thought of nothing but a lame, “Just put your seatbelt on.”
Not the most wonderful of victories. I had been wounded.

Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself.
