One of my first good books I read was this one. I borrowed this book from my mom, becouse Joy is her favourite author.
Joy Fielding was born 18.3. 1945 in Toronto. She writes novels and also work as actress. She is married and has two daughters.
If you like little drama with hint of krimi, this kind of story is for you. One young lady realizes that she is in unknown part of city and she don´t know how she get there. But that´s not all. She don´t now anythyng. How old she is, where she lives, members of her family if she even has it. Just one thing. Her name. Her name is Jane. After few hours of confusion she is brought to police station where is some strange man waiting for her. He called himself as her husband. She has a doughter with him. But why? Why she forgets?
After some time passes some faded shattered memories wants to come back. But those stupid pills make it so hard to remember. She decidet to stop taking them. More and more things are coming back to her. Then, she realizes...
I won´t spoil you whole story here. If you want to know, go to the library or book store and get this book. I also read more of her books and I must say, that everytime I got incredibly excitet about it. I would say, that her story lines are perfectly calculated and in the end surprise always wait.
This one was one of my first shool-work stories. But honestly, I don´t know if it will be as good as in my language. Also the “rule” doesn´t have to be valid in other countries. This story was made just to make fun of some people´s behavior, so please don´t take it personaly. Have fun :D
In the evening I am a witness of instinctual behavior. Unfortunately, in every means of transport our instinct is simple slogan: “Just me, just me!!”. Everyone has seen this.
We all know the unwritten rule, first exit and then enter. Vain attempt. Life is a struggle, and even such a trivial thing as exit from the means of transport, is sometimes an impossible task. If we add the panic in the eyes of entering passengers and maliciousness of the driver who lights up the warning light to signal the approach of closing door, it turns out we have really hilarious scene! Well, only in the case when you are currently not in the area around the doors and do not belong to one of the two groups of entering or exiting.
Amused, I watched this scene from the seat, which I fairly seized. The exiting crowd instinctively ducked behind spatially significant persons to had more easy way to exit. The problem occurs at the moment when you and other exiting person choose the same spatially significant person. We are where we were. Crushes to the freedom. The entering people also certainly have not helped. Those, who waited in the station, rushed to the sides of the door, and those, who need to free up space at the door, must exit with the intention to enter back.
Door area is getting rapidly thinner, so the first wave exiting by three suddenly became noodle exiting by one. It certainly does not add the speed, not to mention the often grumpy driver who demonstratively plays the record: “Accelerate the access and exit!”. I think the person, that the voice from a record belongs to, had a lot of fun while recording. The intonation is excellent.
So the result? The exiting crowd indiscriminately struggling to get out, and to make matters worse, nervous entering passengers are pushing in. Physicists should be pleased by this experiment, the resistance of opposite sides is perfect. Weaker pieces drop out, that one with a small balance fall or better yet, gave up attempt to exit completly. The entering passengers look around the other door, which is not at such crush. Metro closes, strong pieces survived, though some fought for their life with the closing door and we go to the next station. I'm going to slowly prepare onto the battlefield, because the next warrior to exit is me ...
Since the previous chapter was pretty long I decided to make this one a bit shorter.... Hope you enjoy :D

It was dead quiet. Just Arian was still talking quietly. Karmisha started to close her eyes. Eunis carefully stood up. She went to the kitchen and took shallow wicker basket. When she returned to her room, she put the basket on the floor next to the bed. Then she looked to closet and took some blankets. Karmisha already fell asleep. Eunis quietly gestured for him to put her in there. He nodded and gently laid her in the basket. They sneaked out of the room and closed the door. They sat on the doorstep of the front door.
“Thank you very much. Without you, she could die.” Arian said quietly.
Eunis smiled little: “It was nothing. If you didn´t bring her I wouldn´t be able to help.” Then she frowned little bit. “Anyway… what were you saying her?”
Arian was looking forward. His face was sad: “That was part of my mom´s lullaby. She sang it to me before sleep.” He hardly holds tears.
“What happened?”
Arian wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and smiled sweetly. “Nothing.” Eunis saw sadness in his eyes, but she smiled back anyway. Arian stood and looked up at the sky. “There is still lot of time till the lunch. What if I teach you the next dance? “
“Sounds good.” Eunis also stood and followed Ariana way to a nearby clearing.
“Don´t laugh at me! That´s not funny.” Eunis shout him down. Arian was writhed with laughter. Eunis stood up and offended crossed her arms over her chest. “Sorry. Try again. “ he encouraged her once he caught his breath. Eunis sighed and tried unsuccessful part of the dance. But at the same part she tripped over again and fell down.
“See? I told you.” She said sadly and sat down.
“It´s not anything hard. The beginning is the same as from the before. And then you won´t go forward here, but you take two steps back. Then you jump, turn and bow.” He showed her his words. Eunis was impressed by the lightness of his moves. They tried it together. Step by step. But she fell again.
“See, I´ll never learn this part.” Eunis felt clumsy and stupid.
“Don´t worry.” he gave her an encouraging smile. “It´ll maybe take more time, but you´ll see. Tomorrow it´ll be much better.” Eunis nodded and they try it again. They were too busy with dancing that they didn´t notice that was already lunch time. Until the singing of Armis brought them back to reality. His sweet voice floated through the woods like the sound of the flute of moon Goddess Artemis, which was made from the very moon rock. According to her, the bird was also named. It is said that when misery and poverty ruled in the village, Artemis helped them. Thanks to her village was again filled with joy and singing. In return, villagers gave her beautiful and rare bird from the local forests. But he could not sing. It was completely silent. Goddess took pity on him. She put into his neck a part of her flute. Since then, every Armis sing a melody that Artemis though them. His singing also serves as a reminder of her noble act. Armis sings only once or twice per day, so his voice won´t become common-place. Eunis looked back. In the crown of high Plantago she saw the brightly colored feathers of Armis. Eunis been kidnapped by his beauty. Armis honored them by last known tunes, he flapped his wings and disappeared into the trees.
“He is gorgeous.”
“He is. It´s pretty late. I think we dance enough for today. After lunch, come to the statue. I want to show you my favorite place.”
“But I still must practice.”
“Come on. You are good. And even training should not overdo it.” Eunis hesitated for a moment but then she nodded.
“You´re right. I´ll see you later.”
Eunis was humming Armis´s melody. She didn´t even noticed dark yellow eyes from behind bushes.

This is the first part of this story. I decidet to add new chapters every Monday and I hope you´ll enjoy reading it :D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was beginning of the summer and the forest was waking up to a beautiful and sunny day. Birds were singing, roes were jumping on glades and elves were preparing for celebration. This celebration takes place once in twenty years. That´s why everyone pays it a lot of attention. Well… everyone except Eunis. She has no idea what they were preparing. She asked almost everyone. But they said her to don´t interrupt.
“Would someone finally tell me what´s going on?!” No response. She knelt under big old tree. No one bother to even look at her. But then she heard kind voice.
“We are preparing the celebration of the Blue Moon. It will be in few days.” Eunis twitch. There was a young elf. He has short blond hair and emerald green eyes. His smile was honestly kind. He wears short sleeved linen shirt.
He noticed that she twitched and said: “Sorry I don´t want to startle you. My name is Arian.” He also offered her a hand and helps her get up.
“That´s ok. I am Eunis and thank. Everyone is apparently busy. By the way… what is this celebration about?”
“You seem to be new here. I didn´t see you in the village before.”
“Something like that. I live here for ten years but I don´t go out so often so we haven´t met before.”
“Oh… That quite explains it. Never mind… This celebration takes place once in twenty years. That´s when the blue moon shows up on the night sky. Last time it was almost thousand years ago. Most of us know about it just from stories and legends. It is very important. In the middle of glade we build big sacrificial altar. But don´t worry. We don´t sacrifice animals or anything like this. The sacrifice is the hard work we put to the preparation for the celebration. This all is for protection of our forest and village.” he said overly importantly.
“This evening we will practice some dances for the ceremony. These are pretty long and difficult so kids learn them since they are six. Everyone dance. Just some elves plays on instruments. Wanna come?”
“I would love to, really, but nobody teach me how to dance. I think will just stand aside and watch as not to obstruct.” she said sadly.
“I can teach you.” Arian said encouragingly. “I don´t want to brag, but I am perfect dancer and excellent teacher.”
“That would be nice, but you said kids learn them since six… How can I learn it in few days?” she said disbelievingly.
“Trust me… You´ll do great. I bet you can learn them in no time.” Arian said with bright smile.
Arian was right. It wasn´t that hard and he was really good teacher. It doesn´t even began to get dark and Eunis can dance almost half of the first dance.
“See? I told you. Tomorrow you´ll know to dance all of them.”
“You are really amazing. How long it takes you to learn? I suppose about five years. You are certainly the best dancer of all.”
“Firstly, I learned it when I was fourteen, so it´s three years. Secondly, you are probably right. I might be the best.” said Arian proudly and then laughing fell to the ground. He lay down on his back and watched the clouds floating in the sky.
“Look, Eunis. This one looks like deer. Come take a look.” he said pointing somewhere in the sky. She lay beside him.
“Yeah. You are right. It looks proud.” She looked at him attentively. It looks like it wants to tall her something, but it can´t. It was just cloud that slowly began to fade.
“DID YOU SEE THAT?! That deer just winked at me!” she shouted.
“Winked? I don´t think so. It´s just a cloud.” he pointed to the sky.
“Well… was. It´s gone now. Maybe you are tired. We´ve had been dancing almost all day. And it´s getting dark. We probably should be going home. Tomorrow, early in the morning, the altar will be placed on the glade. And it would be shame to miss it.” Arian said and escorted her to the village.
“Thank you for everything. I really enjoyed this day. I can´t wait for tomorrow.”
“Me too. I´ll come to get you. You won´t believe your eyes when you see it. I heard it is breathtaking.” He led her to a crossroads.
“See ya tomorrow, Eunis.”
“Good night, Arian.”
Eunis came home excited. She didn´t even notice the noncomprehending expression of her nanny. Erin had to grab her by the arm.
“Where were you so long?”
Eunis pulled away and said with a smile: “I was preparing for the celebration of the Blue moon.” and went to her room. She untwists her braid and spread her auburn hair on the pillow. She was so tired after that dance that she immediately fell asleep.

In THIS scene, I want you guys to know this...dispite leaving the troll tree...he built the bunker in hope that his brothers would come back and find him.
This little cutie is Morphix. It is big like a cat and the most similar living animal to this is squirrel. So their their way of life is very similar. They eat nuts or fruits. They spend most of their life in the treetops, but they also move along the ground.
Males are brown and females are green, but their pattern is the same. They live about 5 - 6 years and one female has about 3 cubs. This animals are shy, so they mostly hide, but in danger they can hurt fatally. If one Morphix find mate, they live together until one of them die.
Bad decision juice 😂👌✨
