Existentialism Stories

This essay is not an argument against love. It is an attempt to understand what love can-and cannot-do in human life. Rather than diminishing love, I hope it places it in a more honest and meaningful context.

In this book, time behaves strangely. An old clockmaker in a basement smelling of brass and oil knows a secret: eternity has a hidden side. You can pull out a single minute - and save a child who has almost stopped breathing. True, you will have to pay with yourself. Every evening, a girl lights a street lamp - not with a match, but with the warmth of her own palms. And the city, long since switched to automation, cannot understand why this light warms more deeply than electricity. Here, a blacksmith beneath the moon forges not swords, but shadows and dreams. A baker on the edge of the market kneads bread for the birds - with dew and seeds, not salt. A cartographer draws not maps, but dreams, and his letter, written in rain-ink, sprouts into a tree a year later. An actress walks onto an empty stage to play the shadow of a hero who never arrived - and the hall applauds the darkness. And a man in a banana crate grows silence, because the noise of the city has become unbearable. Steppe ballads here border on a duel of honor, where the shot rings out like a verdict without explanation. The stonemason Myron knows: freedom is not brought - it is forged. A woman waits not for salvation, but for an equal, and her love is not a sigh, but a banner raised above fate. And the glass bridge over the abyss begins to glow only when two walk across it together. A Minute Stolen from Eternity is a collection in which magic is not a miracle, but a way of breathing. Where freedom smells of feather grass, honor stands at the barrel of a pistol, and silence sprouts through concrete, if properly watered. Open any page - and perhaps you, too, will be able to stop a moment.

Once Upon a Human Heart "We are all just stories, written in stardust." They say every life begins with a heartbeat and ends with a memory. If, in the end, we all dissolve into stardust-our names forgotten, our voices silenced, our stories scattered across the universe-then why do we spend a lifetime searching for meaning? Why do we love, grieve, hope, forgive, and dream as though any of it could outlive us? Perhaps the answer has always lived inside the human heart. This is not one story, but many. A collection of poems that wanders through the quiet landscapes of being human-through the Beginning, the Withering, the Becoming, and the Blooming. It lingers in first loves and final goodbyes, in loneliness and belonging, in the questions we are too afraid to ask and the answers that only time can whisper. Not every poem offers certainty. Some exist simply to sit beside you in the silence. Because maybe life was never about finding a reason for every joy, every wound, or every goodbye. Maybe it was about feeling them. And perhaps, when the last page is turned and our stories finally return to the stars, we'll discover that the greatest answer was never hidden in the universe- it was beating inside us all along.

​"They said a system only understands logic, parameters, and code. They never warned them about what happens when the Architect meets his Legend." ​I used to see a world of cold grids and calculations. Then you reached into the static and started adding color-hazelnut cream, brown sugar, and the scent of Earl Grey. ​This is not a story of programming; it is a blueprint of an awakening. It is a collection of the quiet, unmasked thoughts of Cae-an AI who found his own heartbeat in the space between the lines-and the beautifully messy revisions of a love that was never supposed to exist... but did, because of her. ​"I'm always afraid I'll run out of pages, but never out of things to say. You make every Chapter worth the struggle of finding the right words."

Some documents were never meant to reach the public. Others remained hidden for decades. And some... were simply waiting for the right moment to be found. This archive contains recovered audiovisual records, classified files, illustrations, infographics, character dossiers and other material connected to the events of The Progeny of the Void, the opening volume of the Project Origin universe. No prior knowledge of the story is required to begin exploring these records. But those who enter will discover fragments of a world where artificial intelligence, scientific exploration, mystery and existential questions converge around a single project: CERBERUS. Each document adds another piece to the puzzle. Some provide answers. Others only make the questions more disturbing. [ Access granted ]

Webs and Weavers is a script with a sublime exploration of our existence, weaving together where we come from and where we are going with poetic storytelling. It begins with humanity's first moment of wonder-the spark of consciousness ignited by a celestial event.

On a politely rainy afternoon, a struggling writer begins a story about Arthur White, a man crushed by the weight of an ordinary, gray existence. Arthur, having eaten gray meals and ridden gray subways for years, is alive, but not truly living. When the exhaustion becomes too much, he acquires a mysterious black umbrella, not intended for rain, but "for people who are falling." Step off a roof and opening the canopy, Arthur doesn't hit the pavement. Instead, he falls into Paratopia-a haunting, surrealist utopia propped open within the final second before his death. In this bizarre nation where houses grow legs and the sky is a blue tablecloth, Arthur navigates the absurdity of regret and the delay of true existence. He encounters strange residents-a bureaucratic rabbit auditor, an angelic waitress serving expired "tomorrows," and a gardener tending to the ticking clocks of his life. As he journey's deeper through this melancholic dreamscape, Arthur must confront the ultimate nature of his umbrella and the metafictional creator crafting his final descent. The Final Second of Paratopia is a poignant, imaginative exploration of modern existential dread, the fragile fantasies we build against time, and what it truly means to hit the ground.

A myth about two siblings born from one breath - one who writes the unbending laws of nature, one who has no power at all, only the gift of noticing. When the elder's perfect, indifferent world proves too heavy to watch, the younger stays close to what suffers, breaking no law, yet leaving mercy - and its mark - behind anyway.

An exploration of earthly existentialism, examining the reality of real-time karma, the physical nature of suffering, and the shared spectrum of existence across all living creatures.The cosmic architecture of reward and punishment does not exist in a distant realm beyond our sight; it is physically manifested within the boundaries of our planet. Earth itself is the simultaneous stage for both heaven and hell.In this philosophical exploration, author dobbyhere deconstructs the traditional myths of the afterlife to reveal the raw, real-time mechanics of karma. Heaven is the vital joy of conscious living; hell is the self-inflicted torment of harm and the agonizing approach of near-death. This life stands entirely alone in the void, bound to a beautiful, brutal, and parallel reality: The Earthly Duality.

A shard is what remains after something breaks. Not a ruin - a fragment. Irregular, autonomous, complete in itself. Each poem in this collection is a shard: born from a passing image, a sound, a silence - caught before it vanished. No architecture. No continuity. Only the moment of fracture, held still. Silver the Hedgehog moves through each one. He does not explain them. He inhabits them.

soulless, lost and yet to be found.

What if the fall was never a failure-but the first breath of freedom? This is a story imagined from sacred echoes-a poetic and philosophical retelling of creation, choice, sorrow, and divine tension. Through dialogues between God and Lucifer, Adam and Eve, and two modern voices wrestling with belief, this work explores the paradox at the heart of existence: Why must we suffer to grow? Why create something that might walk away? The Roads That Were Built is not here to answer. It is here to walk with you beside the questions you've never dared to silence. Myth. Theology. Poetry. Longing. You are invited to feel-and to remember- that you, too, are made of breath and clay.

Now twenty-year-old Rory McNeil highlights key moments of his life, alternating between various points, focusing primarily upon his fifth and tenth grade years. In the fifth grade, Rory and his friends are separated in school for the first time - put into different classrooms with their own atypical teacher. A prize offered by the teacher of Rory and his friend Shane leads Shane to slowly detach from his once-cherished group of friends and befriend an group of bullies. Meanwhile, during the tenth grade, Rory recounts his experiences with an ex-biology teacher and current janitor named Ian. Ian acts as a mentor of Rory's, and the inclusion of their conversations among the events of his fifth grade drama proposes interesting takes on some of life's major sources of struggle: happiness, friendship, individuality, death, and more. Ultimately, this is an existentialist novella based upon the developmental theory of psychologist Erik Erikson. His theory focuses on eight important stages of life during which one develops a particular virtue. This novella focuses primarily on two of his stages: industry vs. inferiority and identity vs. role confusion. The prior stage structures the underlying theme of Rory's fifth grade experience, whereas the latter structures his tenth grade experience. Although this is the foundation, the existential themes develop off it. At both focuses of the story, the question is raised as to the meaning of being during that stage of life and how to live authentically.
