La stessa sera a casa di Zeno

La stessa sera a casa di Zeno

Questo è un brano ispirato al racconto lungo che ho pubblicato per Delos Digital: Onda d'Amore.Mostra i pensieri del ragazzo, dopo aver incontrato la protagonista.Sinossi Onda d'Amore: Un libro sgualcito sugli scaffali di un robivecchi. Una storia d'amore come ce ne sono tante, forse anche banale, ma che unirà le vite, totalmente diverse, di due giovani affamati di vita e d'amore. Aria, umile orfana con più sogni che possibilità e Zeno, ricco e annoiato, intrecceranno le loro esistenze con le righe di quell'Onda d'Amore.Aria è una diciottenne semplice e matura, lo deve essere per forza perché cresciuta senza famiglia, aiutata dai servizi sociali e con una spada di Damocle su di sé a motivo di una patologia che non sembra lasciarle spazio per un futuro troppo lungo. Un caldo pomeriggio d'estate incontra per caso Zeno, il classico figlio di papà che vuole fare il ribelle con i soldi di famiglia. Se lo trascina dietro come un cagnolino in una libreria antiquaria a spulciare tra vecchi romanzi e la loro storia inizia di getto, con la velocità e l'intensità di una valanga, proprio perché il tempo a loro disposizione è limitato. Ma Zeno è all'oscuro di tutto: un egoismo non da poco da parte di Aria il voler vivere una storia d'amore prima di andarsene. La fine sarà struggente come pare sia quella di "Onda d'Amore", o c'è ancora un capitolo da scrivere? Questo squarcio nei pensieri di Zeno è disponibile anche sull'antologia Come un'Onda, ispirata a Onda d'Amore, gratuita su Kobo.Onda d'Amore: http://www.amazon.it/Onda-damore-Senza-sfumature-Carpenetti-ebook/dp/B00S0CYF6U/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1455279456&sr=1-1Come un'Onda: https://store.kobobooks.com/it-it/ebook/come-un-onda…

I don't often get the urge to write, it's a specific mood I have to be in to want it.I really do love literature, plays such as The Crucible (Arthur Miller) specifically.I'd love some advice on my writing, always wanted to ask for it before but don't quite have the nerve to request it from someone in person.This is the start of a stalker(ish) story, involving a currently unnamed girl who is being watched by a stranger. It has a partially-omniscient narrator and I believe I'll use a linear structure for the most part.Here's my actual... Blurb? Looking in, through the simple, white frame window, he saw how broken she was. He rested one finger gently onto the glass, leaving a print upon the freshly cleaned surface which just hours earlier was coated with debris of unknown origin. He appreciated the balance between smooth and strong not only in the glass; but the girl too. Her eyes looked blankly up at the ceiling. Her arm sprawled out, trailing over mattress and blue-tinted sheet, to the border, over the edge, her fingers traced the detail within the woodwork of the handmade mahogany frame. She had found herself here after a conversation on the walk home from college. The talk was nothing new, the usual drama between friends, a situation resolved with a text filled with words dusted over by false promise and followed by an entourage of rainbow love hearts and kisses.This concept, however, had started her fall into a slip and slide of darkness, lost friendships that could not be fixed with her most sincere apology, even when it was not her place, tormented her. These were the thoughts that made her seaweed coloured eyes glaze over for minutes on end, tears swirling in the white abyss of her sclera. Unfocused on the world around her, she was living in memories now and the man smiled in, his heart warming at how small and fragile she seemed in this light, how exposed she became when she thought herself alone.…

The sun was rising in the east. Some of its rays portruded the room two individuals were in. Chasna watched the peacefully sleeping man on the bed. His bulky arms stretched widely clinging into her spot that was now replaced by a soft pillow. His dark locks messily spread on his forehead while some covered his thick brows.It was a beautiful sight to behold indeed. Her hands unconsciously touched the cold diamond ring rested between her fingers. Bringing in the memories they have made together on the past months.Last night, he asked her to come on his house wanting her to stay beside him. She was his peace, his home, and his fiance and he couldn't wait to bind her with him in marriage. She have heard those lines multiple times already but there was something bothering her these past few days. She was very much aware with the affection he had on her. It was supposed to ease her discomfort but somehow it increased her distressed heart.Her man have been clinging to her too much, restraining her from her freedom. She knew he was just preparing her on what the future beholds not until she noticed his sudden change in demeanor. It wasn't love anymore rather an obsession.Her nervous eyes glanced at the digital clock placed on the bedside table. 6:10 am she only have 20 minutes remaining before he wakes up to do his daily routine. She removed the exquisite jewelry on her ring finger placing it on the small table. The ring reflected the light coming outside the room. It's now or never she thought only escalating the uneasiness she's been feeling. Chasna quietly grabbed her bag which is lying neatly on the cream coloured L-shaped couch.Casting one last look on her beloved, she left with a heavy heart not aware on the sinister that's about to come.…

01:47 am... Hora de la muerte. Y finalmente la vida de su padre se había evaporado, un padre del cual solo sabía que existía pero jamás conoció. Alguien que había triunfado en cada aspecto de su vida, excepto en el ámbito familiar, y eso significa fallar en todo lo demás.Su última morada seria su vieja casa de descanso, la cual nunca se había usado hasta ahora, construida de madera cedro café oscuro, con el olor de la hierba y el café impregnando cada parte de la casa mientras una pequeña fogata le daba calor en este frio diciembre.Su padre había logrado establecer una exitosa cadena de supermercados, era muy hábil en los negocios, y debido a eso nunca sufrió en el ámbito económico, pero triunfo a costa de su salud y su familia. Ella apenas podía recordarlo, sus padres se separaron cuando ella tenía 6, o quizás 7 años, que importaba ahora; no volvió a verlo hasta ahora 20 años después, y la última imagen que se llevaba de su padre era la de un viejo arrugado, débil, enfermo, maloliente, con un cáncer que le había arrebatado la vida en solo un par de meses, postrado en la cama, y completamente solo. Quiso pasar los últimos días de su vida a lado de su familia, una familia inexistente, solo compuesta por ella, ya que su madre no quiso volver a saber de la persona que le había robado los mejores años de su vida.Y ahora a ella le tocaba analizar el legado que su progenitor había dejado... Su empresa, sobre la cual se abalanzarían sus accionistas; una ex esposa que no quería saber más sobre él; amigos del mismo tipo que él, los cuales estaban muy ocupados para estarlo visitando, al igual como él lo había hecho muchas veces anteriormente y finalmente una hija a la que llamo solamente para verlo morir.Un hombre a quien el periódico recordara solamente durante un día, un legado que murió en cuanto el dio su último aliento. Una vida más una vida menos, una vida como las de miles más, las cuales nunca dejaran ni un rastro de …

The Anglo-Egyptian War: A Tale of Ahmed Urabi's Rebellion

The Anglo-Egyptian War: A Tale of Ahmed Urabi's Rebellion

3 0 1

The Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882 was a pivotal conflict that spread-out in Egypt, ultimately leading to British control over the nation.The late 19th century witnessed turmoil in Egypt due to economic troubles, foreign debt, and dissatisfaction among the Egyptian. The conflict was instigated by Ahmed 'Urabi, an Egyptian army officer who led a nationalist revolt against the rule of Khedive Tewfik Pasha and the foreign influence in Egypt. Tensions escalated further when British warships patrolled at the port of Alexandria, intensifying the already flimsy situation. On June 11, 1882, violent anti-European riots erupted in Alexandria, Egypt. Fearing for their safety, European residents quickly left the city. At the same time, the Egyptian 'Urabist army began fortifying and arming the port, making the situation more tense.After giving a warning to stop these military preparations, the British fleet acted alone, launching a relentless 10½-hour bombardment of the city. Even though the UK declared Egypt's independence in 1922, the British military maintained considerable influence in Egypt until 1936. During this period, Egypt became a crucial hub for trade and business in the region. Egypt remained under British influence until 1952, with the last British troops leaving in 1956.To read rest of this article, please visit this very link: https://www.timeprinternews.com…

A Tale of Seas and Skies

"Welcome to Seraherrera, a world filled with wondrous landscapes and cultures, existing as the first and last creation of the godly spirit Theetes!Emerald and ruby mountains sparkle from afar as the blazing sun illuminates the light blue sky, showering warmth to the parts of the world unconcealed by darkness.Wide sapphire seas glimmer with every crashing waves, each as tall as a frostborne giant, and crystal clear lakes vein through the densest forests and cities.Citrine deserts contrast against opalescent tundras in the far north, while you can find amber and agate-like canyons in the far south where no soul but the soilbound dwarves could live in.Stand on any edge of the world and you can peer into the endless trails of stars and find the twin moon watching you - that is, if you dare to answer its calling!But as in all journey, there is no smoke without a fire, no buzz without a wasp, no adventure without a cause.A war between races has raged for years and is only getting worse with each passing day - it all started between the hume, or humans, and the álfar, or the elves.Like the devil itself war sweeps each and every country into a state of hatred, throwing off the balance of the world with each bloodied death count.Now, who will save us all? Who will guide the storm to calm, and the day to rest?"- Amkom Falsebard, in his original ballad A Tale of Skies and SeasA secretive mage. A bard of two truths and a lie. A tainted militia captain. A foreign farmer. A paranoid apprentice priest. Under a time of war, in a shady, rundown tavern of a black market district, these individuals find themselves at a crossroad and a choice has to be made. The question is: would you trust your life in their hands?[[A Dungeons & Dragons fanbook of an existing campaign, so the story is partially true to life - or at least true to the dice]]…
