    Coat from the Dead An urban legend, urban myth, urban tale, or contemporary legend is a form of modern folklore usually consisting of fictional stories, often with macabre elements, deeply rooted in local popular culture. These legends can be used for entertainment purposes, as well as semi-serious explanations for random events such as disappearances and strange objects. Despite its name, an urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban area. Rather, the term is used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore of pre-industrial times. For this reason, sociologists and folklorists prefer the term "contemporary legend". Because people frequently allege that such tales happened to a "friend of a friend" (FOAF), that phrase has become a commonly used term when recounting this type of story. One evening a man called James was on the road from Oxford to London. There weren’t many cars on the road because it was late. Suddenly in the lights of his car he saw a woman by the road – she was quite young and very pretty. ‘It’s dangerous to walk along the road when it’s dark and late,’ he thought. He stopped, opened the window and asked the young woman, ‘Where are you going? It’s dangerous to stand here at night… perhaps I can take you to London with me.’ The young woman didn’t answer but she opened the door of the car and got in. James asked her e a lot of questions: ‘What’s your name? Where do you live? Why are you on the road at night? Is your family in London? Where are your friends? Have you got any money? Are you hungry?’ The young woman sat next to James but she said nothing. Not one word. She only looked at the road. Soon James stopped asking questions and they drove along without talking. Coming into London there were more cars and James had to drive more slowly. Suddenly the young woman started to open the door so James stopped the car quickly. They were in front of a house on a long street. The woman opened the door and got out of the car, then she slowly walked up to the front door of the house. James watched her and thought angrily, ‘She didn’t say «Thank you».’ Three days later he opened the back door of his car and found a coat. ‘This isn’t my coat,’ he thought. Then he remembered the young woman. Perhaps it was her coat. He had to drive to London again that evening so he thought, ‘l’ll take her coat back. ..I remember the street and the house.’ He drove there, parked in front of the house and walked up to the door. An older woman answered. ‘Does a young woman live here?’ he asked’. l think this is her coat – she left it in my car three days ago.’ The woman looked at the coat and began to cry. ‘That was my daughter’s coat.. .’ ‘Here, please give it back to her then,’ James said. ‘l can’t,’ the woman said. ‘She’s dead.’ ‘Dead!’ said James. ‘Yes, she died five years ago.’ Five years ago?’ James asked quietly. ‘Yes, on the road between Oxford and London. .. in an accident,’ the woman said. @one_story

    Dear Jack. Melissa Checker A short break and a cat's response throw light on a relationship. Read 9 min
    Dear Jack. Melissa Checker

    Neither the cat nor I missed you while you were gone.     It's worse than that. We danced the visitor-gone dance, flinging our feet (and paws) with particular glee. You remember the dance -- the one you do after shutting the door behind a difficult visitor (like a family member)? You hold your breath for 120 seconds then deadbolt the door, race to the bed, leap on to it and jump, twirl, bell-kick and prance, singing all the while, "she's go--onnne, she's gooo-oonne." 🍓 Запрещённое в соцсетях искусство — t.me/kartiny/6166…

    To Byron I think about the morning of your glory, About the morning of your days too, when Like a demon you from sleep had stirred And were a god for men. I think of when your eyebrows came together Over the burning torches of your eyes, Of how the ancient blood's eternal lava Rushed through your arteries. I think of fingers - very long - inside The wavy hair, about all Eyes that did thirst for you in alleys And in the dining-halls. About the hearts too, which - you were too young then - You did not have the time to read, too soon, About the times, when solely in your honor Arose and down went the moon. I think about a hall in semi-darkness, About the velvet, into lace inclined, About the poems we would have told each other, You - yours, I - mine. I also think about the remaining From your lips and your eyes handful of dust.. About all eyes, that are now in the graveyard About them and us.. September 24, 1913 Marina Tsvetaeva

    Trading Places. John Caulfield An Irish traveller leaves his clan and tries to make it in Dublin. (Contains strong language) Read 14 min
    Trading Places. John Caulfield

    Rain dribbled down the side of the 41C. Condensation blurred his view of Dorset Street. He'd been staring at his reflection in the glass two seats ahead, but a young couple had sat in front of him at the Big Tree, and now his mind, it wandered. Fiddling with his ticket, he shifted in the seat. Late October winds sneaked in through the closed window, nibbling at his bare neck. He pulled up the collar of his fleece, and with his arm, wiped a long clear arc on the window pane. 🍓 Запрещённое в соцсетях искусство…

    The Quack Toad by Aesop An old Toad once informed all his neighbors that he was a learned doctor. In fact he could cure anything. The Fox heard the news and hurried to see the Toad. He looked the Toad over very carefully. "Mr. Toad," he said, "I've been told that you cure anything! But just take a look at yourself, and then try some of your own medicine. If you can cure yourself of that blotchy skin and that rheumatic gait, someone might believe you. Otherwise, I should advise you to try some other profession." Those who would mend others, should first mend themselves. Physician, heal thyself. @one_story

    The Door by E. B. White

    Everything (he kept saying) is something it isn't. And everybody is always somewhere else. Maybe it was the city, being in the city, that made him feel how queer everything was and that it was something else. Maybe (he kept thinking) it was the names of the things. The names were tex and frequently koid. Or they were flex and oid or they were duroid (sand) or flexsan (duro), but everything was glass (but not quite glass) and the thing that you touched (the surface, washable, crease-resistant) was rubber, only…

    The Spring At Kardaki. Gaye Jee

    Thomas would have noticed the girl anyway, as she threaded her way between the sun-sodden families and couples who lay melting on the pebbly beach. Even from where he was sitting, he could see her dress was made from some wispy stuff the colour of Parma Violets. It skimmed the contours of her slight figure, making her appear as unsubstantial as the dress itself. He couldn't make out her shoes very well, except they seemed to have very high heels, but she was miraculously sure-footed among the bathers who stumbled…

    The Blackberry Bushes. Chris Barker

    Henry stepped off the bus and walked through the hospital's peace garden and its well-ordered rose bushes towards the main entrance where a couple of patients were sitting on a bench smoking cigarettes. He made his way past the reception desk that twinkled with tiny white snowdrop lights; past the cheery Christmas tree, dressed in red tinsel and silver balls; and past the baby Jesus laying in his crib, to the storeroom, where he loaded his contraband onto the cart. 🍓 Запрещённое в соцсетях искусство — t.me/kartiny/6166…

    🧐 Одной из особенностей этрусского общества было свободное положение женщины. На фресках этрусских гробниц женщины изображены пирующими со своими мужьями. Подобное социальное равенство полов было чуждо греческому обществу. Некоторые исследователи предполагают, что знатные женщины даже принимали участие в общественной жизни своего города. ❤️ Любите ли вы историю, как ее любим мы?

    Friday I forgot where I put my car keys.     Which in and of itself isn't unusual. I'd been forgetting a lot of things lately. Then again, I'm not alone in that.     It manifested in my father first. He came home in his usual foul mood.
