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. The Small World of M-75 by Ed M. Clinton (dark academia books to read txt) 📖

"Pretty delicate machines, after all," commented Sokolski. "One jolt from that flame thrower...."
Gaines was silent as they walked back toward the plant. "Bert," he said slowly, "what the hell do you suppose got into him?"
Sokolski shrugged. "You were the one who spotted the trouble with him, Joe. Just think, if you could have checked him out completely—"
Gaines could not help looking up at the stars and saying what he had really been thinking all along, "It's a small world, Bert, a small world."
