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 Bramble Bush by Randall Garrett (mind reading books txt) 📖

five minutes later, five men went into the control room of Number One Reactor. They found Peter de Hooch sound asleep in the control chair, and the instruments showed that the Ditmars-Horst reactor was inactive.
One of the men shook de Hooch gently, awakening him in the middle of a snore.
"What?" he said groggily.
"We're here, Guz. Everything's O.K."
"Sure everything's O.K. Nothing to it. All I did was wait until the temperature got above three fifty-seven Centigrade—above the boiling point of mercury. Then I went in and let the hot helium boil the stuff off me. Nothing to it. Near boiled myself alive, but it did the trick."
"What," asked the man in a puzzled voice, "are you talking about?"
"I am a knight in dull armor," said Peter de Hooch, dozing off again.
Then he roused himself a little, and said, without opening his eyes: "Hi yo, Quicksilver, away." And he was sound asleep again.
And when he saw what he had done,
With all his might and main,
He jumped back in that bramble bush
And scratch'd them in again!...
With all his might and main,
He jumped back in that bramble bush
And scratch'd them in again!...
