Learning Stories

Says so in the title.

Kelly looked at the piece of meat he'd just picked up. He looked at the platter, still half full of roasted meat, he looked at the faces around him, and a feeling rose within him that he had no idea how to deal with, a feeling of utter bewilderment and confusion. It was as if a thought and an awareness was trying to dawn in his mind, simultaneously as he was trying to deny to himself a sudden, horrifying realisation. "I don't understand," he repeated for the third time. This might have been a lie or might not. Kelly wasn't sure. All he was sure of was his heart thundering loudly. This is the story of Kelly, silver dragon and adoptive son of the god Honess, and how he is supported to learn to live with something that stamps an indelible horror and grief onto his mind and thrusts him into a role no one would ever want. I've written a true introduction in order that it can be enjoyed without prior reading, but you might enjoy the short tales in Dragon Lives about Kelly (there are three of them which all have 'Kelly' in the title). Chapter 18 of the story Immortality describes Kelly's birth. Following the main part of this story will be some detailed epilogues, two of which will also be broken up into chapters. Due to the central theme of this story it is most definitely only suitable for adults, however nothing is described too gratuitously and the more grotesque sections are more talked about rather than overtly described. I did originally mark the story as mature but with hindsight I felt this was unnecessary and so have removed the mature marker. Note that the cover image does not belong to me.

The world fell to the Solar Wave thirty years ago, and humanity was left shattered. What survived did so unevenly. Cities fell silent. Roads became scars. Civic power fractured into local collectives, scavenger bands, and fragile communities clinging to order through habit and hope. Now, a signal began to rise from Santa Fe. Old, persistent, calling to the AI Mercy, buried beneath faith, code, and sin. Edmund, Emmet, Virgil, and Mercy head west into the big empty chasing the signal.

Money had never impressed me- until i met him . He arrived without noise , yet the room bent around him as if it knew who he was. Expensive watch , tailored suit , calm eyes that looked like they'd learned long ago what trusting the wrong person cost. People didn't greet him ; they adjusted themselves in his presence. I later learned his name was Adrian kingsley, the youngest CEO in the city. But at that moment, he was just the man who sat across from me, studying me as though I were a puzzle he hadn't decided to solve . "What do you want ? " He asked, not unkindly . I almost laughed- not because he was intimidating, but because he looked like someone who had never been told no. He was rich , yes- but there was something heavier than money in his silence . Something lonely. Something dangerous. And i should have known then that loving a man like him would cost more than either of us was ready to pay.

In this book , I will be training my writing skills by trying my hands on different essay and directed writing questions given to me by co pilot. I want to improve my English writing skills so I get a good score in my IGCSE And also so I have better and more versatile writing skill which I can use to write amazing stories for your readership. Stick around if you're interested You can help me by reviewing these short stories and giving me constructive criticism. 😊

2025 continues where the diary left off: out on the edge of things, where days are shaped by weather, work, family, and the quiet weight of thought. This year brings change, reflection, and persistence. Life carries on through routine jobs, long days on the land, time spent with Mum, Dad, and Eric, and moments shared with friends and neighbours. There are practical concerns - machinery, responsibility, and keeping things moving - alongside the more personal challenges of communication, understanding, and finding your place within it all. Told through honest, day-to-day diary entries, Beyond The Outer Edge - 2025 captures a year lived steadily rather than dramatically: snowstorms and seasons passing, frustrations and small victories, solitude and connection. It's a record of carrying on, learning as you go, and staying present in a life that rarely shouts, but always has something to say.

This journal is for anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or tired of pretending to be okay-yet keeps searching for meaning in their pain and finding ways to heal and grow. It's for those who find comfort in reading someone else's heart and realize, "Hey, that's me too." In I Was Here: A Bipolar Diary, Yana opens the pages of her life with raw honesty - one entry at a time. In this non-fiction journal, blending the intimacy of a diary and the openness of a blog, Yana shares deep thoughts, realizations, and reflections about growth, faith, and the quiet lessons found in ordinary days. While Yana lives with bipolar disorder, this is not just about the illness - it's about life itself: the love, the heartbreaks, the stillness, the learning, and the moments of depression that teach her how to rise again. Each diary entry reads like a late-night conversation between two souls trying to make sense of the world. It's a memoir that gently reminds you that your story - no matter how flawed or unfinished-is still worthy of being told.
