It was a normal beautiful day and Roman the Clumsy Squirrel was getting ready to do his squirrel things (collecting nuts, reading EC blogs, etc). Nobody ever expects that anything bad could happen in a sunny autumn morning because all the horror things happen at night, during a storm, or on election days. So, there was Roman the Clumsy Squirrel feeling confident and safe: -"It is a very bright and nice day! Nothing bad can happen to me!*humming while walkin'*"

What the poor Roman couldn't have im

Well, my friends! I promised you the happy end and here you are! However, before reading the story, you are expected to read my usual introduction presenting and explaining your mistakes. Hope you will find a few minutes to look through them.

1. “She always gives me wise decisions.” As a matter of fact, people are used to saying words of advice rarely followed. We usually listen to advice, analyze it and make up our mind.

Job interviews are like first dates: Good impressions count; Awkwardness can occur; Outcomes are unpredictable. Your palms tend to get sweaty and you clam up. Or you get self-conscious and start talking non-stop to fill every pause in the conversation. Both, not good scenarios. If you get that first impression wrong, that would most likely be the end of the line for you! No second date and definitely no amazing job. But worry no more. We have the perfect

Thunderstorm

Slowly starts the thunderstorm,
I can hear its rumbling
and the lightning will be born
and the wind hunts something.

People running fast to home,
closing doors and windows.
No one likes to be alone
when the storm its face shows.

Do you see the dance of trees?
How they bow the tops?
Do you hear the song of Rain,
the drumming of the drops?

Birds are drinking from the puddle,
one has lost a feather.
Outside seems it like a muddle
but soon will sooth the weather.

Wind has swept the streets so clean,

It was a new day. In this morning, the green valley was bathed sunrise, just like on other days. Birds were singing and starting their daily rituals. The dew was shining like the crystals with the sunrise,  which had fallen on the flower petals. That wonderful morning, a stranger was coming, through the narrow path down the valley. He was a young boy, tall, handsome and smart. If the morning was so much beauty, his face appeared with a very pleasant smile. His name was Dilan.

I decided to teach English in Shenzhen last May, but long before I signed my contract, I knew exactly what I would be doing during Spring Festival. As classes came to an end for the semester, I watched my friends plan trips to beautiful beaches, but I wasn’t jealous of their vacation plans for a second… I was busy reminding my fiancé to bring my parka as we would be heading north: to Harbin.

The flight from Beijing to Harbin was only about two hours. I sat giddily on the plane and read about the

Once upon a time, there lived a little girl.
She lived together with her her mom and her granny in a little house nearby a beautiful lake, outside the city.

The house, surrounded by a garden, was just a small house but very comfortable and cozy. In the garden grew thousands of different flowers and there lived butterflies and birds lived there, too.

The girl loved the birds, butterflies, and f

I hope you like my funny stories based on your mistakes. This time it will be another story. Let’s say it is a modern version of Cinderella as it is all about shoes!

So, here are the expressions that inspired my imagination.

1. “I bought a new shoe.” Sure, we all know we can’t buy only one shoe.  If people are disable and have only one foot/leg, they have to buy a pair of shoes or shoes anyway.
2. “I was in a hurry so I just could wear my left shoe.” Hahaha!  We wear footwear all day long. Some people ma

 When you’re struggling to make your writing stand out, it can help to vary your syntax. This might sound complicated, but we’re basically talking about varying the actual structure of your sentences to add some variety to your work.

But we’re not going to bore you by rambling on and on about what syntax is and why it’s important. With such a complex subject, it’s usually easiest to show instead of to tell, which is why instead of explaining the technicalities between each type of syntax, we’re s

... and then one day they start slowly falling down,

sad tree losing its pride, losing its crown.

The sun is weaker, the wind is stronger,

all of these leaves can´t stay any longer...

... and then some day golden rain showers the street,

covered path, bench, even my favorite seat.

People dancing on the yellow carpet of leaves,

recalling nostalgic autumn memories...

... and then one day autumn magic will be gone,

lost between earlier sunset and later dawn.

Winter will hungrily eat every

Writing challenge,

Danny Clark's     write a short story

The idea of this short story came from the dreams of Mr. Danny Clark. I had a terrible dream after writing that horror story, the abandoned house. I have some ability to predict the future according to certain incidents. It is not clairvoyance but depending on the current situations. I woke up suddenly after that nightmare and I decided to write real stories.
