The Shadow of Laughter

Anna Sternichuk

2 min read

I didn’t mean for it to go this far. I swear. It started as a joke, a way to get back at him for all those times he humiliated me in front of everyone. God, how he’d laugh, like my pain was just another punchline in his never-ending comedy routine. I thought if I could just embarrass him once, make him feel a fraction of what I felt, maybe he’d understand. Maybe he’d stop.


It wasn’t supposed to e...

Sadness

Tears fall

Memories fade

Empty rooms echo cries

Love's remnants scattered like ashes

Gone now


Anger

Rage burns

Betrayal stings

Words thrown like sharp daggers

Trust shattered, broken pieces left

Despair


Relief

Weight lifts

Freedom at last

Breathing fresh, unchained air

No longer bound by past hurts

Release


Nostalgia

Sweet past

Moments replay

Laughter, joy, f...

Vanishing Point

Anna Sternichuk

1 min read

She glanced at him, eyes wide with concern. "What do you mean? We can’t stop now, not when we're so close."


His grip tightened on the steering wheel. "We don’t have a choice. They're onto us, and if we don't disappear, we'll end up like the others."


The urgency in his voice sent a shiver down her spine. "So what do we do?"


He looked at her, determination mingling with fear. "We find a way out o...

Scarred Resilience

Anna Sternichuk

Alina has a deep, jagged scar running down her left forearm, a relic from a summer spent in the wilderness when she was seventeen. She had been part of an outdoor survival camp, a rite of passage in her small, tightly-knit community. During a night hike, a sudden storm hit, and Alina was separated from her group. In her frantic attempt to find shelter, she slipped on a wet rock and fell down a rav...

The Unwelcome Journey

Anna Sternichuk

Anna had always been a creature of habit, deeply rooted in the comfort of her routines. She cherished her small apartment in the city, with its cozy corners and familiar sights. The thought of change unsettled her, and she avoided it at all costs.


One crisp autumn morning, Anna received a phone call from her mother. Her voice was fraught with worry as she explained that Anna's grandmother, who li...

Embers of Resilience

Anna Sternichuk

1 min read

In shadows deep, where wild things lie,

The breath of life, a whispered sigh,

Amidst the chaos, fierce and wild,

Survival's song is reconciled.


Through storms that rage and forests thick,

The heart beats strong, the mind grows quick,

With every step on rugged ground,

A testament to life unbound.


The sun may scorch, the night may freeze,

Yet strength is found in trembling knees,

For in the face o...

fire and flames

Anna Sternichuk

1 min read

In the heart of night, a flicker ignites,

A dance of shadows, a tapestry of light.

Crimson tongues lick the velvet sky,

Whispering secrets, letting spirits fly.


From ancient hearths to the dawn of time,

Fire has been our muse, our silent rhyme.

It warms the soul, yet can sear the flesh,

A paradox of comfort and a threat afresh.


In the eyes of lovers, a fervent blaze,

Passions consuming in a ferv...

Echoes of Cobblestone Lane

Anna Sternichuk

1 min read

A narrow lane with cobblestone,

Where twilight whispers linger,

The echoes of a childhood roam,

Through time, they brush my fingers.


The old oak tree with branches wide,

A castle in our dreams,

Its ancient roots, a place to hide,

Where laughter flows in streams.


The scent of rain on dusty streets,

A fragrance sweet, profound,

Where every step my memory greets,

With whispers all around.


The cott...

the enchanted love

In the kingdom of Lyra, communication between friends and loved ones was carried out through enchanted scrolls. These scrolls, created by the legendary sorcerer Elowen, could transmit messages instantaneously across any distance. The scrolls glowed with a soft, ethereal light, and the ink used to write on them shimmered like the stars.


Aria, a young mage-in-training, had just returned to her humb...

whispers on the wind

Anna Sternichuk

2 min read

Poem:


In twilight's gentle embrace, they sigh,

Whispers on the wind, they softly fly,

Secrets of the past, and dreams untold,

Carried by the breeze, both shy and bold.


A lover's promise, a friend's goodbye,

Murmurs of hope that never die,

Each whisper, a fragment of a heart,

Drifting through the air, never to depart.


Among the leaves and through the trees,

Voices of those we've lost, a gentle b...
