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. Survival by Jess Curran (the best ebook reader for android txt) 📖

My hands, jutting out from my puffy jacket, squeezed shut as I stare hard at the glass door in front of me. I couldn’t see out of it because of the white stuff on the window. I let my breath out and it white stuff got thicker.
I place my hand on the cold window and take it off again watching in wonder as my handprint left behind disappears. I place my hand over it again and again entranced by the cloud on the window. My mother comes up behind me and catches me before I fall. ‘Happy 1st Birthday’.
As I lay on the flat, rough surface of the rock, looking at the sun rays flickering through the baron trees, I tried to gather my thoughts and reach some sort of comprehension of my situation. How could this happen? How could this be?
Five hours ago I was sitting in my classroom surrounded by familiar faces and laughter, wondering how I could appear invisible to my French teacher as I didn’t do my homework, again. I laugh now at the absurdity of it all. I wish now that was my only problem. Now, I have to face the unthinkable…
A cold shiver ran down my spine. The darkness engulfed me on all sides. My breath comes in sharp gasps as the panic began to set in. I gripped the cold damp walls, trying hard not to fall over.
My flashlight had flickered out and I had nothing left to show me if I was even heading in the right direction. The water that dripped from the caves ceiling had already saturated my clothes which clung to me like a second skin. It was stupid for me to come down here alone. I was reckless. Will anyone ever find me?
