    Animals never laugh, but a person was able to assess the comic situation and use this assessment for his own purposes, the main of which is not just entertainment of oneself, but a distraction from the troubles and hardships of life, which a person is aware of, but cannot do anything. Therefore, it is not so easy to understand the essence of the comic, but you can try. Extremely effective way of distracting a person from the troubles and hardships of life is partly the transformation of them into the comic. By such detachment from reality in laughter, a person is freed from the conventions of being, instinctively sensing their temporality and imperfection. The external expression of this curious transformation tribulations, and tragedies into the comic, detract from them, is the laughter, the animal component of which comes from the reflexes, similar of a reaction to scratching, and the essential component is determined by the consciousness in the form of a relationship to some troubles and misfortunes as to the absurdity of the unexpected incident with yourself or preferably with others. Absurdity of it, dropping out of a framework of the known order, causes involuntary fun or an ironical grin from that, as "to those above" cannot provide the order in "hostel".

    This modern update to the biblical story sees Job's son questioning God's motives after serving as collateral damage in His game of chicken with Satan. Filled with existential despair and acerbic wit these short stories or, 'lamentations,' grapple with themes ranging from contemporary politics, to God and religion, to the absurdity of everyday existence. From the opening moments exploring the unraveling mind of a character on a journey through the vacuity of consumer society, to the finale in which we await the arrival of an absent Messiah, these stories cut to the heart of the human condition. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20856796.Simon_Brass

    I didn't know where the mass of flesh had come from, or why it had appeared in my apartment. I only knew it couldn't stay. Bound by necessity and a dark, unspoken burden, I crafted a makeshift boat out of uneven planks, household glue, and duct tape. I couldn't do it alone, so I called my mother. Without a single sermon or a glance of judgment, she helped me carry the strange mass to a secluded riverbank to give it back to the earth. A surreal, atmospheric short story exploring a bizarre haunting, familial duty, and the heavy weight of things left unexplained.

    This is what happens when you take a writer and give her lots of Ethics revision to do: as bizarre as I knew this was going to make me look, I decided to take the crazy philosophical adventures my mind had been concocting and put them onto paper...by which I mean screen. So, yes, this series of chapters is the result of me trying to make revision that much more interesting.

    'Often I am paralysed by the fear that I won't be able to remember it all. Four years of life on the bloodied edge, screaming elated into the wild sky. Person after person; glittering jewels and deep, dark pools. Stories and stories, tiny details. How can I capture all of the emotions and perceptions and thoughts? Because it is all so precious to me. I want to record it all, just as it was, in sequence, and how it felt at the time and to pore over every little scenario endlessly. Its a vast ocean of knowledge and my hands can only work so fast, and little bits and pieces get lost as the mind makes room for more memories. Names get forgotten, of people who should never be forgotten. Day's events get confused with one another, they deserve preservation in full fidelity. Memory. Time. Awe. Impermanence.' Excerpts from the long stream of consciousness writing I was doing a lot of in the Summer of 2014. Honest stuff on with no real order, and no theme except what usually preoccupies me.

    A time before the continents tore apart, 200 million years ago-a single, colossal landmass called Aurithia, embraced by the boundless ocean Thalassa. This was more than mere geography-it was an ancient manuscript, written in blood, steel, and sorcery. Pangea. Here, no celestial hand molds destiny. No prayers ascend to be heard from thrones of light. Only motion exists-wild, ungoverned-of dozens of races, hundreds of creatures, and kingdoms rooted deep as primeval forests. Beneath the same starlight that falls on spells older than time, machines pulse and breathe. Scattered across the world lie hundreds of artifacts, like shards from a once-whole cosmic mirror. Dimensions stack like layers of dream, each bleeding into the next until the borders between reality and myth dissolve, like mist over a volcanic lake. From this chaos, four names rise-torches flaring against the storm. Each cuts its own path into the bedrock of Pangea's history, yet all are destined to converge, like mighty rivers racing toward the same sea. Freiya, the Doombringer-leader of The Bloody Cruce, a rogue host that leaves kingdoms in ashes. Her past is bound to the great dimensional rift, and every step she takes carries the shadow of the abyss she once stared into. Her tale, told in Dark Legion: Rise of the Abyss, is both a map to Pangea's splendor and a record of its decay, woven through the intrigues of countless races.

    ABSTRACT This paper deals with the language used by one of the most famous modern writer EUGENE IONESCO (1909-1994), in his plays,The Chairs and The Bald Soprano. Ionesco is the writer whose sense of literature incorporated with the experiences he gained from his life and the observations that he made in society and people around him.The usage of language in his works we can say, to some extent, is quite similar to other modern writers who motivated their thoughts and writing skills to write in an absurd manner and portray the extreme level of absurdity of human and worlds in their works. But as every writer is having their own way of flourishing the works, like through plot, character, dialogues and scenes and so on. Ionesco too had his way of presenting the levels of absurdity in the society and his technique was 'Language'. He is often called as Man of Anti-Theatre, because of his presentation of language as an impossible means of communication. The paper will present these points briefly and will focus on the two above mentioned texts in detail.
