The Man Upstairs
Have you ever wondered who you were? I have. I wish I could tell you my name, but I don't have one. Never have, and probably will always be nameless. I live in a society called Downstairs, where everything is attempted perfection - everyone tries to perfect every blemish, every flaw that they see in themselves that other people see in their mirrors. Me? I am an orphan, an outcast, a street devil that has nothing to do with the world. Every time I look into my mirror I see a monster with an inked heart, a devil with a dirty body. I don't belong. But then I meet Freyor. He sees me differently, a way I have never seen before. We have many things in common - we are both orphans and outcasts. He is a friend, something I have never had before. He is the person who believes lives the same standards as I do and believes the same legends and myths as I do. We both believe in The Man Upstairs, the Omnipotent and All Powerful One who created Downstairs with His perfect hands. We both have what it takes to be different from everyone else.And then Freyor offers something that would change my life forever ...…
Paint Your World
Paint your world is a poem that I created the first thing it popped into my head. With the power of figurative language and descriptive meaning, this poem creates feelings of wonder and true persuasion of creating your own world. Enjoy!…
Peace in the Rain
"I was almost there. The last thing I thought as the rain washed away my soul, my body, my mind, my pain, I thought only one thing. It wasn't Mother. It wasn't life. It was this: I find peace in the rain."- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As daughter and mother travel with other girls in a march across the snow during the Holocaust, the daughter questions her faith in God. "Where is He?" "Why hasn't He saved us yet?" "He is not there because He doesn't care about me." She once had faith in Him, but now ...When they reach a rainforest, daughter and mother must escape or Sir Galék will kill them. As the tension grows as more girls are tortured and threatened, perhaps the chance of rain can change stone hearts ...…

Amongst the Guilty and Perfect
"In the midst of the innocent, I was guilty of pride, integrity, dignity, freedom. This was my future - I was sure of it. Except one day - that one day, when everything changed."When looking at a tree, one cannot possibly think that the tree has no emotions at all - it is silent, as it has always been. But trees do have emotions - they feel, they see, they know. One particular tree feels royal, proud, and clean. He has always felt like this as he stood tall among the innocent and imperfect. But when a curious group of marchers past him and the dark uniformed men drape something on his branches, the tree will soon find out that the world he lives in is not what he thought it was. Everything will feel like it was as though his eyes were stained with blood and his branches were coated with pale yellow flesh that flaked dryly in the air like ashes from a thick fire ... Created as a narrative essay decrypted by a painting by Jan Komski, a survivor of the Holocaust, readers will find in this story that there is more to descriptive stories on the Holocaust - it actually happened, and many living things suffered from it, their moods and their entire souls changing and darkening. While there are facts in the plot, it is overall figurative and descriptive story. This is a narrative essay about the Holocaust and a tree who discovered many things during his life in the center of the Holocaust.…

But together, they make a great team. One day, they decide to check out one of the parts of the forest in their backyard that they have not searched yet. While they are looking around, they see a squirrel - or rather, a green flower-covered squirrel. Both curious, they decide to follow it. As they do, they find themselves in front of a tree that has a door carved in it. All of a sudden, the door opens and golden light starts to flow out of it, surrounding Eion and Olivia, capturing them and ... Want to know what happens next? Read the story to find out ...P.S.
