Double Jackpot this time. First of is Marcus, who submitted Stories' One Hundredth Story! Let's all celebrate this great moment by lighting a candle and reading another one of Marcus' great works. *fumbles with the matches trying to lit the candle for a while...*
There... Ah, that should do it. Well, I said it was a Double Jackpot this time. And it sure is, for I've found another favourite story of mine. It was submitted by milla. recently, and is once again in Swedish, I'm afraid. Swedish readers, watch out, this is an emotional one.
As for background music (you use that while reading, right? Mm, it really intensifies the experience...), Ny Batteri by Sigur Ros will do very nicely for all depressing reads, like Vakuum below.
Also, a welcome to the newcomers, Sparris and TT!
Wosh, that came out a bit lengthy... Oh well, enjoy!

Well, that was fun. Now for somethinc completely different! Here comes an award-winning poem on the theme "fire" by Sparris -- höstnoll. It recently won the $100 "young literature" price at Söderportgymnasiet, Sweden. Unfortunately for our international readers, it's in Swedish. For the swedes -- enjoy!

Talk about controversy! Rape victim? Fighter for the human nature? Or just an incest witness? And what about the author? Literary genious? A total sicko? An autobiographer? (I hope not!) Take a look at the reviews for some fun stuff.

If you exclude the Dream Theater song (which was only rated by its submitter), milla.'s the only author here who has written something which has been rated 10 out of 10. And that an average after three raters (six reviewers)! Needless to say, we're all breathtaken by this very intimate story, which I'd believe anyone who's ever even tried to be a writer feel they can identify with in some way. It is a must-read for everyone. Unfortunate for our international visitors, it's in Swedish.

Edit: I was mistaken. Justin got rated 10 out of 10 on his 'The Hold of Obsession' too! But they're both very, very good!

I'm sure we were all amazed when we read Justin's long, mysteric and intriguing stories (although they could surely do with some proofreading!). The high ratings, 9 and 10, suggests that you probably want to read them as well. So I present, without further delay, The Lost Souls Phantasm and The Hold of Obsession!
