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. Never Ending Short Stories by Tasha (microsoft ebook reader .TXT) 📖

I stood watching the bright yellow leaf float down from the tree. I think back to my break-up.
"I need to breathe," he said.
"I need to find my soul mate," he said.
"I thought I was your soul mate," I said.
I stomp my foot hard on the ground and frown up at the sky. 'Life's unfair,' I think. I look up at the tree in front of me. An apple-colored leaf lands on my face. I lift it up and look at it. Then, I look at the tree. I wonder how the tree feels when all of its leaves escape from it. 'But, that's just a natural part of nature,' I think out loud.
I see my mother. She walks toward me and stands next to me. "You know, you are like this tree, here," she says.
"How?" I reply.
"This tree sheds its leaves every fall to prepare for winter. Then, in the Spring, all of its leaves grow back."
"But, how am I like the tree?" I ask.
"Love is just another natural part of nature. You are a tree. You fall in love, then you lose that love. You eventually fall back in love, and one day you will stay in love. But, for now, you'll just have to keep falling in and out of love, just as a tree has to shed its leaves and grow new ones back. The day when you'll fall in love and get married you'll be an evergreen. Evergreens never loses its leaves."
An orange leaf falls on the tip of my nose. I lift it up and smile.
