Stupid Samuel is a ten-year-old boy who has a penchant for being naked, reminiscent of "Emperor's New Clothes." The village he lives in is typical of a small town with crab mentality, where townsfolk are quick to jump to conclusions and vilify individuals who do not conform to social norms. "Stupid Samuel and Other Stories" is a literary collection of stories, mostly satirical, commenting on social, political and other issues. This book also contains Interrogative pieces that explore the human condition, including but not limited to, debilitating phobias, alternative reality, and cultural beliefs. ----- AWARDS under Short Story genre: 🥇1st Place, The Purple Ice Awards 2019 🥇1st Place, Writer's Choice Awards 2019 🥇1st Place, Creative Awards 2019|First Edition 🥇1st Place, Midnight Coffee Awards 2019 🥇1st Place, Soul Awards 2019 🥈 2nd Place, Magestic Awards 2019 🥉 3rd Place, The Carnation Awards 2019 🏅 Honourable Mention, The Sunflower Awards 2019 🏅 Honourable Mention, Magestic Wings Awards 2019 🏅 Most Surprising, Acheron Awards 2019 ----- Date Published: 05.13.2019 Status: Ongoing ------

the island of st barths, cradled by the north end of the gulf of the carribean, is a pretty place. on first glance the people who lived there were pretty too - their lips seemed to bulge just as the fruit did, and their eyes caught the sun as did the sea. they were humble, some intellectual, some young, most old. there was a girl called Elodie on this island. Elodie Chantraine. to look at, simply beautiful. it was a pity one couldn't crack open her skull and look inside. perhaps it would have revealed a different story. this story is not one of romance. it is one of Elodie. this story is the exposé of Elodie Chantraine. a sort of coming of age, where no coming of age occurs. a tale of a girl who's beauty has failed her conscience, which has neglected its righteous maturation and left it rotting. to highlight some of her flaws - she is of a girl who is self absorbed, greedy, manipulative, privileged, ungracious, ungrateful, but to the world - perfect. a child who plays with maturity as if it is a toy employed for her will. an intellectual who understands nothing. a story of an antagonist thrust into the role of protagonist. don't let her seduce you. be warned, she's very good at it. oh! just so carelessly good. perhaps if you see past her glistening and sickly beauty and charm, she'll even then able to seduce you with her flaws, and you'll relish in all the terrible in her, terribleness you might remember in yourself, that might sidle and lurk in the moist corners of your heart. • #theLitAwards2019

The moments pass us by; time flows without restrain, never waiting for us. Before we know, moments in our life fly by. But we always have those moments locked in our minds, moments that we learn to forget, cherish, love, hate and grasp tightly on. Sometimes they remain in our minds like a photo album of the moments that we look back to remember what a life we have. But just how many of these moments, so filled with emotions that change us? Or define who we are? This is a story collection with my own thoughts about the various moments in our lives, the various emotions we feel when we are faced with a situation we must deal with. This is a story collection that I hope to convey the various human experiences that would describe who we really are. Cover by @avadel The rest of the graphics are by me Note: I'll add the stories as I edit some existing ones and write the new ones. 1st place winner in Astral Awards 2019 for short story 3rd place winner in Golden Arrow Awards 2019 for short story 1st place winner in The Easter Awards
