The Little New Year

by LovelyMay — "The Little New Year" appeared on Maurice’s frosty windowsill just as the moonlight bathed the yard in silver, making the world look dreamlike and still. His first instinct was to stay warm under the covers, but the gentle knocking pulled him to the glass. He wiped away the frost to hear a small voice calling to him, asking for help in spreading good will. Though puzzled, Maurice listened more closely and found himself face to face with a small boy bundled warmly, pulling a cart filled with parcels…

The Little Army

by LovelyMay — The Little Army begins with an image full of energy and color—young boys and girls playing with all the seriousness of real soldiers, though their battles are imaginary and their weapons made of wood. With paper hats proudly worn and broomsticks clutched like rifles, they march to rhythms tapped out on tin cans and toy drums. Their faces glow with joy, their eyes lit by dreams, not yet shadowed by the weight of the world. Each step they take, each shout and cheer, builds a world where fear does not…

The Job

by LovelyMay — The Job can often be mistaken as the measure of a person’s value, but the truth is far more personal and empowering. It is not the title or status that shapes success, but the effort one brings to the work. The chapter explores how fulfillment is found in the dedication applied to any task, whether grand or humble. Each position becomes meaningful through honesty, skill, and consistency, not through the applause it may or may not receive. When seen through this lens, every job holds the potential to…

The Huntsman

by LovelyMay — The Huntsman opens beneath a scorching sky, where the heat clings to every surface, and not even a whisper of breeze disturbs the forest edge. Yegor Vlassitch walks with a leisurely stride, dressed in a worn red shirt and patched trousers, his rifle slung across one shoulder. His presence, however casual, holds a weight that disturbs the stillness. From a nearby thicket, Pelagea appears—her frame slight, her face flushed from labor, and her voice timid but tinged with longing. Their meeting feels more…

by LovelyMay — The House Opposite begins with a spirited recounting of a young man's misadventure—Algy Groom’s ill-fated Paris escapade. Meant to immerse himself in the French language, Algy instead found himself parted from a tidy sum, one hundred pounds entrusted by his father. What could have been a cautionary tale becomes, in the narrator’s telling, the launchpad for a richer conversation about youthful transgressions, the slipperiness of good intentions, and how mischief often disguises itself as experience.…
