Nineteenthcentury Stories

A narrator attends an elaborate and theatrical whiskey tasting with a group of eccentric companions, where ritual and refined language mask a growing sense of absurdity. As the night unfolds, their cultured gathering gradually slips into chaos, blending dark humor with an increasingly unrestrained atmosphere.

The title is pretty self-explanatory, although, to clarify, it will be French poetry which I (attempt to) translate. Hope you like my interpretations of other poets' words. :) Translated Poems: - Le Gout du néant (Baudelaire) - Tristesse en mer (Gautier) - Demain, des l'aube (Hugo) - Spleen (IV): Quand le ciel bas et lourd... (Baudelaire)

Young Rosella was abandoned by her father when she was just an infant. After three years in an orphanage, Rosella spent the next thirteen years of her life in a harsh all-girls boarding school. When she learns of her father's whereabouts, Rosella escapes in order to find and confront him. On her travels, Rosella soon finds that the world is a terrible and cruel place, run by monstrous men. This tale seems like two tales told in one, for as well we follow the story of a middle-aged man named Thomas Herring, who leads a lonely life. Spending his days in solitude in his large manor in the city of Burberry, Thomas grows tired of being alone and goes out to search for love. As we read on, we soon learn that these two tales, are really just one.

This is Sebastian's diery. Sebastian is a character that I made up. This story is inspired by the game "the evil with in". So it's gonna be kinda bloody. So if you don't like blood and torture I recommend you not to read this story. But if you like madness and stuff like that, enjoy! And of course comment cause this is my first story. So of corse I want some critic god or bad. :-)

WARNING: The story is sometimes spoken in my perspective, so bare with me Humanity fallen from Gods eyes, now humans, fairies, mythical creatures, and even Angels are literally turning their backs from him after learning that the heavenly father true motives and how he really is. In The winter of 1873, a young Native American teenager Name Aiyana Lucero and her older sister was sneaking in a private mansion and found some messed up things, such as ancient weapons angels used or how angels can actually die and skulls of many dragons, humans and fairies from a 300 year war. Aiyana was going to spread the word, until they were caught. As these sisters are ones who left gods eyes and wanted to formally kill angels to prove their point. And Aiyana did steal a ancient weapon angels used in the form of a Katana by a fairy woman. These two killed thirty people and in the end they were captured and put on death row for spewing blood in the the mansion of Jerusalem, stealing, blasphemy, Heresy, and apparently terrorism. The one who rescue them two months later was a beautiful Elf Demi God and his four close companions. One being the devil himself. After that, the sisters join these four misfits and many others and journey across 19 century America to recruit people as rebels to destroy their very toxic government and possibly kill their president for horrid rules and tyranny, and in the process of finding a King Philosopher stone. That will be explained later in the story. They desire to create one for their benefit and the faith of America and the world. What's going to happen?

Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma. There are always two sides to a story. Let's hear Knightley's version. It's intended to be more short stories from George Knightley's POV as Emma fans already know what happens. I didn't want to re-write what was already known or written (I would highly recommend reading Emma first). In the future I plan to connect it into a novel. January 2023 - First draft complete. Editing in progress.

Still treated like dust, she got a job as an interpreter for trading between the settlers and the Indians.
