Some ten years from now, despite the best efforts of doctors and nurses, the hundred of prayers uttered by relatives, I will have died on one Saturday morning. That day, as the consciousness faded, everything I once was receded into the everlasting darkness, never to return. But the warmth of the body had not yet gone, not quite, and so it was unclear exactly when I have passed away. Rapidly, the zones of red and yellow on the temperature scan shrunk towards the heart, its grounds replaced by blue and purple, then nothing. In the end it was all black, and the light must one day burn itself, exhaust what little is left of the soul, and fade.

Perhaps, in the final moments, I would understand what it really meant, to live. Life went quickly by, especially the bit that is worth living, and I knew that part was over a long time ago. Perhaps I would find myself in a dark tunnel, seeing blinding light at its end, although in reality it was simply an illusion, as brain cells, starved of oxygen, start to die and wither away. The path felt unusually cold, and lonely. By that time, I will have lost every friend I ever had, and come to realise that my family had always been there, loving me. Perhaps I was never loved in my life - but then at that point I ceased to care, except to wonder what might have been. There were tasks unfinished, feelings unresolved, regrets in their dozens. Perhaps in the end, I would know for certain that eternal life doesn’t exist.

By then, I would be a man who had lost everything that mattered to him. Everything I once was preserved only in memories of those who once knew me. And when they’re gone, I would have never existed, like billions before me. Unremarkable.

Isn’t it why we write stories? A part of ourselves preserved, so others could perhaps know us through text, through language. We could capture a moment in time, of who we are, what we are, and make an impact beyond the grave.

Or maybe, I’m just too afraid to admit that I’m a dying man.

Welcome to the Cemetery of English’s Forgotten Tales. As you wander in this dead hall, kicking up clouds of dust as you travel, you began to wonder who penned these works. Each story here was once forgotten and lost, and when all traces of them were removed from the forum, they would be found here. And the stories waited here, in the cemetery, hoping for a new reader, who would one day pull them from the dusty shelves, rediscovering them, redeeming them.

For those who sought my ultimate death and rejoice in it, they cannot truly win as long as one single copy of these stories survives. Bound between the volumes, a part of who English once was survived in texts.

You noticed the works in this library were arranged chronologically, each with a short commentary and critique by the author. You will begin your journey with the first, the beginning of a style, the first step of a writer in the making. As you proceed, you will find a list of works with lesser importance, of failed experiments, of optimism blighted by experiences in life and perhaps part of a soul you thought you would never discover. Piecing together mysteries and themes, perhaps you would discover new ways of looking at writing, and other ways of looking at English’s works.

May only those who cherished English’s stories enter, for disappointment awaited those looking for masterpieces within this hall. Enter at your own risk, for you will find all sorts in the Cemetery of English's Forgotten Tales.

~~Comments~~


'Man, I really love your first story. Although it is not as well written (Not even close :P ) as your recent stories, I feel really connected to it. It's called a culture shock. Which I have been through, and wow that story illustrates it really well!' --Ruben Luc

'Well, I read them. I liked "market" best (weirdly enough) - I've been to markets which were dangerously similar to the one in your story. Not a pretty picture, lol.' --Logan Shafts

**The Priceless~~

It was the golden age of the game when all sorts of underhand and criminal activities were raging in the realms of RuneScape, long before the updates on the 10th December and 2nd January 2008 that respectively removed the unbalanced trade and the wilderness. Before then, bots and scammers were roaming on the land and spoiling the game for its players. There were complaints and rumours that the whole RuneScape economy was going to collapse if something wasn't to be done about them soon...

But why RuneScape? Why work so hard to spoil the game for others? What is it so priceless that they are trying to obtain?

QFC: 49-50-890-60645640

This story is 32 posts long.


~~Brotherly Love~~

‘I think it is a choice.’

Is it a choice? At what point do we decide it is a conscious decision? How do we tell the right from the wrong, when we could be just as confused as those we condemn? It is, of course, not everyday that we tell our brothers we love them. Under what obligation were we to love them anyway?

This story follows the lives of two brothers, and how, in a confused moment, a catastrophe was born.

~~Recommended Stories~~


A dedicated collection I have compiled for open minded readers who desired to hunt down other stories with similar themes to my major works such as The Priceless, Brotherly Love, The Noob and The Abomination of Men. If you have one such story, or discovered one, you must inform me at once.


‘Desire & Demand’

A beautiful and moving story, full of choices, personal conflicts and responsibility. The stunning emotional impact of love lost and found in this story is both unique and an asset to this forum. I fully endorse this story.

QFC: 49-50-133-59514434


‘Chilled Arrows’

Incomplete, yet it shows K Hearts at his best (so far). Beautiful sentences, flow, and scene setting. Easily one of the more exquisite works found in this forum.

QFC: 49-50-74-61093904


‘Those Eyes’

Written by Bawabowa, this work, although only two posts long, reveals a great deal more about real life than what we might realise.

QFC: 49-50-73-62076902


'The Old Man’

Its explicit content almost laughed my head off, and this genre is only braced by the most fearless of writers. A disturbing tale of a young adventurer’s crush on the wise old man.

QFC: Locked already, but its legacy remains.
