Achanceencounter Stories

Parallel lines have a lot in common, but they never meet. Ever. You might think that's sad. But every other pair of lines meets once and then drifts apart forever. Which is pretty sad, too. A short story about two boys who share a chance encounter; and dare to not make it their last.

The life of Shanaya, a girl with emphysema was falling apart as she was facing extreme difficulties during her disease. Knowing that she would not be alive for too long and that her existence did not have much time left, she decides to explore and experience life in a way that she feels content in her deathbed without any dream or longing of hers unfulfilled. During her journey, she meets a man called Jonathan, an Indian man of Scottish decent, with whom she comfortably shares her wish and gains support from him, while he helps her to further explore the unseen pages of life!

STARTED: 05/02/24 High school can be a daunting experience for anyone, but for Yan², it felt especially overwhelming. As she walked the bustling halls, her eyes downcast and her shoulders hunched, she couldn't help but feel like an outsider, adrift in a sea of unfamiliar faces. Yan² had always been a quiet, introspective soul, preferring the comfort of her books to the chaos of social interactions. But when her family had moved to this new town, she found herself thrust into an entirely new environment, one that seemed to challenge every fiber of her being. Days turned into weeks, and Yan² struggled to find her footing. She would sit alone during lunch, her gaze fixed on the pages of whatever novel she had immersed herself in, desperate to escape the loneliness that threatened to consume her. Little did Yan² know, her friends Marian and Julian had taken notice of her isolation. They had watched, with growing concern, as the vibrant, curious girl they had known slowly retreated into herself. Something had to be done. And so, they hatched a plan - a plan to introduce Yan² to someone who might just be the key to unlocking the door to a brighter future. Someone who could help her see that she didn't have to face this new chapter of her life alone. What Yan² didn't realize was that her world was about to be turned upside down, in the most unexpected and wonderful of ways. For as she rounded the corner that fateful day, she would collide with a chance encounter that would set in motion a chain of events that would change the course of her life forever. This is the story of an unexpected connection, a blossoming friendship, and the power of finding kindred spirits in the most unlikely of places.
