Drzwi bez domu

wyprawy. I wiedział, że należy to robić bo jest to słuszne, a co jest słuszne, najczęściej jest i dobre. Zbliżając się do celu swoje wędrówki ujrzeli wtem wściekle jaskrawy i zygzakowaty pojedyńczy błysk pozostawiony przez piorun.. Za chwilę kolejny błysk przeszywający noc, tym razem rozłożysty jak korzeń drzewa rozświetlił tą samą przestrzeń, nadając jej odcień pastelowego różu. Bogowie odwiedzają ziemię. Tafla jeziora rozświetlając się każdej nocy próbuje zapamiętać ten spektakl światła i dźwięku. Delikatna wibracja i wody i ziemi. Pomarszczona skóra twarzy Pana Kurta bezbłędnie rozpoznała to samo wilgotne i świeże powietrze, które towarzyszyło mu gdy będąc jeszcze dzieckiem wypatrywał podobnych fenomenów natury przez otwarte okno na poddaszu domu dziadków. Oczy i uśmiech dziecka i wtedy i dzisiaj. A jednocześnie epilog życia. Berliński lekarz-przyjaciel dał mu osiem miesięcy życia. Peruwiański szaman, był bardziej szczodry, aż czternaście. Czy zatem można powiedzieć, że siedemdziesiąt dwa lata to sprawiedliwy wiek na umieranie?

Licentious

Eighteen year-old Londonian Ava, unnoticed her entire life, is about to discover the promiscuity of adulthood preceding her endless years of parental oppression due to studies. Thereafter, her arising disobediences, in the forms of multiple new men in her life awaken her sexual awarenesses as Ava only begins to live life the way in which she thinks she would truly prefer to live it. With each new man bringing a new challenge, Ava realises its her time to make the decision every girl makes either once or multiple times within their lives; the exploration and sexual manipulation of different people or the loyalty and commitment of the knight in shining armour childhood fairytales have led her to believe so deeply in. Ava's decisions, whether they lead to the greatest moments within her life or utterly disappointing mistakes leading her to breaking points and contrary moments of pure happiness enable her inquiries into both masculine and feminine domination within her different relationships. Which lucky man will her decisions, AKA her feelings, point towards?
