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. Blindfolded by Earle Ashley Walcott (best affordable ebook reader TXT) 📖

"Oh, I don't need any time," I gasped. "I'll take it now."
"Well, you'll have to wait till the directors meet," he said.
I gave him my hearty thanks for the unlooked-for favor.
"To tell you the truth," he said, "it was the doing of the women folks."
My heart gave a leap at the announcement, for it carried a great deal more with it than Doddridge Knapp knew.
"I am a thousand times obliged to you--and the ladies," I said.
"Well, I wasn't unwilling," he said indulgently. "In fact, I intended to do something handsome for you. But there's one condition I must make."
I looked my inquiry.
"You must not speculate. You haven't got the head for it."
"Thank you," I said. "I'll keep out, except under your orders."
"Right," he said. "You've the best head for carrying out orders I ever found."
The King of the Street waved me good night, and I went back to the parlor.
Luella was sitting where I had left her, and no one else was about. She was looking demurely down and did not glance up till I was beside her.
"I have won a double prize," I said. "I am the president of Omega."
And I stooped and kissed her.
