aventure europe immigrants politics refugees short story trip war

This is a story I wrote after I read the news about the refugee crisis Europe has been dealing with. 

"What is at stake is nothing less than the survival and well-being of a generation of innocents"
-Antonio Guterres, UNHCR 

This story is about the journey refugees are being forced to take. 
I wrote this story after a lot of days of research and I can assure you that the political situation I describe as well as the paths taken by the refugees (and the time it takes to get from one place to another) are true. 
You must have in mind that we live in a very crazy world, and political positions (specially when they are related to war and economy) can change very fast.
This story was written on October 10th, 2015. 

-If you don't know much about what is going on in Europe and about the refugee crisis I am talking about,  read this little summary (that I wrote based on a BBC's article): 
Europe has been recently dealing with a migration crisis, asylum applications in Europe have surged this year. The numbers for Germany and Hungary already exceed their 2014 totals. By the end of July, 438,000 refugees had applied for asylum. Last year’s number was 571,000. According to the UNHCR, Germany is the most popular destination for migrants arriving in Europe; it has received the highest number of applications, more than 188,00 by the end of July 2015. (15,416 more than in the whole of 2014.) The IOM estimates that more than 350,000 migrants were detected at the EU’s borders between January and August 2015. 
The biggest driver of this migration has been the conflict in Syria followed by the violence in Afghanistan and abuses in Eritrea.

Pessimistic Coodies (RusAme) by Toddels

The tall tale of the later hardships faced by "the gifted child". As Russia ages, he finds his life dulling because he has nothing to live for. He had already succeeded in so much that his life loses purpose. One fateful day he unexpectedly befriends America who understands exactly how he is feeling. He persuades Russia to partake in deadly events with him to help him feel excitement again. Intelligently gifted depressed psychopaths should never become addicted to danger... or become besties. 🦠🦠🦠 America glances back over to me with a menacing grin plastered onto his face. He laughs and its echo haunts my ears. "I don't think I'm insane; surely my entire situation is understandable. If it weren't, I would've been put into that asylum when I was younger." I stare into his doe mismatched colored eyes. What the hell did I get myself into? "America, you are insane." I repeat. I was truly at a loss for words and had conflicting emotions. Crossing the street blindfolded was the last thing I had expected him to try. And yet, I was even more disturbed at how much I wanted to try it for myself... "And so are you, Russia." he says chillingly as if he had a key to my gated mind. "We are not so different and you know it. You are not normal; you revealed that to me in your past. Our horrible childhoods molded us into what we are today. " "I'm not fucking crazy." I tell him, "I find hobbies to feel alive- not to try to kill myself!" 🦠🦠🦠 **Not the story you will be expecting** ⚠️ Warning: This is a fictional novel, so please don't attempt or copy anything life threatening that these characters do, thanks TuT 💗 All art is mine :) 🫧 - Yes, there are many allusions to famous works of literature because I am an obsessed fanatic for them!! Also I included a shit ton of symbolism and foreshadowing. So be on the look out for everything! ✨ ;)

Weigh Out Way-In by JASaak

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)

We are going to see a doctor after this though and make sure she's okay. How about I do a couple more songs for you. Just two though. I do need to take her to the doctor." That's all I hear before I fall asleep. • • "You know you start school soon right?" he says like he's trying to sound like a father. "You're actually gonna make me go to that hell hole?" "Watch your language. Your only 14 and yes. I'm making you go to that hell hole." • • "Why are you the calm one? Most kids would be freaking out." "I need to stay strong for mine and your mentality.

"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker

Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

Caged By Him by moonchild80

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?

The Moth Runner by Stuck_inY2k

A 14 year French boy finds himself stuck in the grasp of the United States. In this war between the US, the people, and himself, he must find a way to protect his brothers and the love of his life, Amber, the daughter of the US president. Are these two willing to fight for each other? Are they willing to fight for the rights of the people? These two are tied together in a boundless war, and they aren't willing to give up that easily. Entomon Book 1 Warning: Mild swearing, violence, underage smoking, mention of drug use, immigration conflict, mention of overdose, depicts of su!cide This book takes time to represent various people. It mentions gay rights, trans rights, women's rights, mental health rights, religious rights, and many more. This book includes lots pf diversity because every person should deserve to see themselves represented in the books they read. This book is inspired by the various political debates I've seen from the 2024 election. This is futuristic America, where white straight Christian (or Catholic) men are prized above everyone else. I wrote this because I think other voices deserve to be heard and people should see what their arguments do to those it's directed to. Why do white men get to control women's bodies? Why don't gay people deserve the same kind of treatment as straight people? This book shows that diverse people are just as important. Please do not take this book too seriously. This book is not to be targeted to America, this book is not targeted to those who may be white, straight, or Christian. This book is simply here to represent those who don't fit those liked standards. This book is not to dump on the republican party, this book does not mainly focus on politics but rather people's reasons for their political debates. Treat every living person with kindness, each person deserves to be represented and loved.

Efímero | His Legacy | Formula 1 by VPTS0607

"I am sick of everyone just expecting me to be fine because I have a better life, but money doesn't erase the trauma and abuse," I say mad. "Why can't people get that is okay to not be okay?" "If you are sick then stop giving a shit about what other people think you should be," says Charles carelessly. "If people think you should be okay by now and you are not, who cares? I don't, and you shouldn't. You shouldn't give a fuck about that shit as long as you are working on it, you don't need to listen to other people Xel." I look at him surprised. "What?" He asks. "Did Charles Leclerc just said the words 'shit' and 'fuck'" I say smiling, and he simply shakes his head. "Shut up," he says and then hugs me. "Thanks, Charles," I say genuinely. "Thank you for everything. I love you." He is surprised. "You are my brother," I say and smile at him. It's true, we may not share blood, but he is as much of a brother to me as Jules was once to me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Axel had a half-brother, Jules Bianchi.

She Kills (2016) by Sennafumi

Fun and a bit of sex mixed with travels and introspection. That is "She Kills". This novel was supposed to be the sequel of "Abat-Jour", my novel published by Inknbeans in 2015, that was about four guys and a series of trips to Spain in the summer of 2001 to provide a slice of life of a generation, mixed with irony, surreal meetings and a good dose of introspection. For those (all of you guys, I guess!) who didn't read "Abat-Jour": the story starts from the end: Daniele, the main character, has just come home from the last journey. As he rests on his bed, he looks back on what happened in his life in the last few months, inspired by shadows and things in his room. What comes out, in the shape of this journey, is a search for answers to questions of an entire generation. The narrator, Daniele, takes the reader jumping forward and back in months and years, collecting emotions and memories with a musical trace of U2's songs, always present. Everything finds its own place, eventually, in the puzzle of Daniele's memory illuminated in his Abat-Jour.. "She Kills" is also a fiction novel with 58.000 words estimated. It's about what happened to them from 2001 to 2015. I could say there's a mix of fiction and a true story in both of them. They're full of irony and weird situations but they mainly represent a generation between what it was before and after a critical age (the attacks of 9/11 represent a big divide). They were thirty years old but not ready to become men yet. The main character has a lover and a love story that changes him a lot in both novels. In the first one the girl was Eva, a Spanish girl who seems to be more than a summer story. The novel shows how bad things can go when you don't wanna grow up. In the sequel, there's a German woman named Ele who will bring Lele almost to craziness. At the end, despite all the weird, dramatic and funny situations, Lele realizes that there's no more time to waste in silly relationships in the worst possible way.
