Juliet is a twenty-something young woman living in a small apartment downtown. She works long hours at a job that hardly pays the bills, and she's the guardian of her stubborn teenage brother, Clint. People tell her she has a normal life, but she hardly feels normal. Feeling like she is afloat in a universe that she doesn't understand, Juliet has a difficult time seeing the world the way people tell her do, the way those around her do. Juliet's just trying to keep herself grounded, for Clint's sake, so that she doesn't float away into the stars. (Not a great summary, but check it out. This novel is a bit of an experiment on my part, as I am reading a lot of modernist fiction lately.)- Reads 10

A modernist short story. Open for interpretation (the tags might help in understanding the story.) Please note: In the original format of this story, the tabbing, centre-alignments and right-alignments played an integral part in the storytelling, but as Wattpad does not support this, I have had to make do with tabbing and hope the message still gets across. As such, this story does not display well on smaller screens and phones - my sincere apologies.+17 more- Reads 88

Povestea il are in centru pe Grigore Teodorescu, un cetatean umil care se daruieste in totalitate meseriei sale. Acest om ducea o viata normala, lipsita de prea multe grijuri. Pana-ntr-o zi, cand, un accident la locul de munca ii intoarce viziunea despre lume pe dos. \ Explozii, artificii, kaboom, kachow, suspans, Viorica, dar nu Dancila, sau poate, hmmmm....- Reads 16

This is a poem for an English Assignment that I had worked so hard on, so I thought "Why not upload it?" I guess it's difficult, complex and slightly unnerving (?). It deals with the reality of society, the loss of individualism and the dark future of humanity and individuals in a dysfunctional society. Set in early 20th Century London, and is a Modernist work/poem.- Reads 48

This Poem drifts through the blurred lines between memory, imagination, and longing. It's a meditation on youthful yearning, where cities like Paris, London, and Rome loom large as mythic places, more real on the page than in lived experience. The speaker, once captivated by the romanticism of art and poetry, conjures up ghostly visions of Monet and Pissarro, of Ezra Pound committing literary violence in sunlit exile and T.S. Eliot haunting the damp streets of London. There's a wistful self-awareness in the voice, someone who knows they've only ever been places through the minds of others, their travel passport stamped with ink and verses. Time stretches the distance between desire and reality, but what remains is the trace, the echo, the impression. Just like the Impressionists rendered light and mood over precision, the poem paints not the world, but the way it felt to yearn for it.+16 more- Reads 9
