I've spent my old days making up pretty stories.

This book is about a nobody. An ordinary person drifting through life, living like Sisyphus, doing the same thing over and over for decades until everything changes one night, or does it?

It is well known this story of a mere mortal who challenged Zeus and won himself eternity chained to a ball of rock compelled to forever push it up a mountain. Here, I attempt to tell that tale.

one must imagine Sisyphus happy.. (This is my fan writing about Sisyphus, I advise you to read before reading and find out who it is) I wrote this story because I suddenly felt sad about Sisyphus, the Olympian gods spare no one. I also have no experience in writing stories, this is my first story, so just know that I'm new to this. (and I also don't know English completely, so in cases of inconsistencies, don't pay too much attention, I'm learning, even this story I'm not writing myself, but with the help of a translator and other sources, good luck)

A tragic tale of 2 boys who have to find a cure for their 'disease': poverty. Will they succeed? What is the price for the cure, and is there even a cure?

Was he happy?

Aeschylus discovers tragedy and the absurd.

My pure emotions just written down and for everyone to see. Its sometimes sad. Sometimes just love. Sometimes just me

Do you hate Albert Camus or want to see why people hate him? Read this

this was a space i'd write on the walls of hoping someone else would've read it too but no one ever did and that was almost ten years ago i'm here to write on the walls again not for anyone to see but so maybe in another ten years i can see it again

Every step up the mountain is a battle, every breath a struggle. Sisyphus, bound to an eternal task, pushes a massive rock toward a summit that seems forever out of reach. Surrounded by searing fire and the mocking eyes of beasts, he endures the weight of his fate. But as the years stretch on, something strange begins to stir within him. The relentless labor, once a curse, has become a strange addiction. Now, the true burden lies not in the rock he must carry, but in the freedom that awaits him-freedom he fears more than the pain itself.

Alekos moved swiftly through the southern lair beneath Olympus that lead to the Acheron, the river of woe. He followed the linear path that would lead to the diamond gate of the underworld. Still in early development!

I, Anna, was just a normal 12 year old girl, well aside from the fact I have cancer. I guess I can't say I'm normal, my mother is a one-eye crazy tulip lady in love with the Dutch Tulip Man. My father I don't know much about, he hated my mother and me so he left. As for my pet hamster Sisyphus well he just likes to run on his wheel in his cage. I don't live a normal life but I surely do live a life that's normal to me.

Life is hard and everybody has their struggles. And, some struggles change personalities. What would happen if two people who are in the rock bottom of their lives meet each other? Will they drown in their own misery or ignore each other. Camus said to imagine Sisyphus happy but is the weight of their struggles too much for them to carry?
