Young Oliver Twist is sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker
Oliver Twist
3.0
Oliver Twist, or The Parish Boy's Progress, is the second novel by Charles Dickens, and was first published as a serial 1837–39. The story is of the orphan Oliver Twist, who starts his life in a workhouse and is then sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker. He escapes from there and travels to London, where he meets the Artful Dodger, a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the elderly criminal Fagin.
Oliver Twist is notable for its unromantic portrayal by Dickens of criminals and their sordid lives, as well as for exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid-19th century. The alternate title, The Parish Boy's Progress, alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, as well as the 18th-century caricature series by William Hogarth, A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.
In this early example of the social novel, Dickens satirizes the hypocrisies of his time, including child labour, the recruitment of children as criminals, and the presence of street children. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blincoe, an orphan whose account of working as a child labourer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s.

Ένα ποίημα σε ελεύθερο στίχο, εμπνευσμένο από την σημερινή πραγματικότητα.
Προϋπηρεσία;

Αν σας έλεγαν να γράψετε ό,τι θέλετε στο βιογραφικό σας τι θα επιλέγατε; Πως κρίνεται αλήθεια η προϋπηρεσία του καθενός μας; Από μερικά ένσημα ή πρόκειται για κάτι βαθύτερο που γνωρίζουμε εμείς, δεν μπαίνει σε κουτάκια ούτε αναγνωρίζεται εύκολα..

A huge asteroid plummets towards Earth. What will our leaders do?
The End
4.4
Short stories are a great place to experiment with concepts and ideas and this is a short piece (even for a short story) which combines those end-of-the-world 80s movies with a few of the many conspiracies that are out there.
Sorry if that offends anyone. Actually no I'm not. If you don't like it, don't read it. The story isn't true, it's not my opinion or in any way meant to attack anyone. It's just one of those "What if..." scenarios and I think it's a little humorous too.

She is my wine

First sip,
smooth and elegant,
with a bitter after-taste.
Smell, sweet.
Second sip,
mind and body,
with a strong will.
I want more.
Excitement becomes desire.
A glass-full of her.
First glass, not enough.
Sweet desire,
like her,
like the wine.
Glass by glass …
I get drunk.
I want to taste her body,
I need the sweet alcohol that is her mind.
I want to get drunk!
