“My Dear Diary” by Dmitriy Galashin

Submitted to Contest #139

Dear Diary, Today we went to see Alice. She is in bed. I think they don’t allow playing there. She is lying in bed all the time. They cut all of her hair. She is bald now, like uncle Gregory. He is balder, I think. Mom said this is to get Alice healthy again. We will play then, and her hair will grow back. Dear Diary, I am still alone at home, and Alice is in the hospital. It was quite a battle today. LEGO soldiers took over the City of Dinosaurs. They are smart because they went there when many dinosaurs were away,...

Submitted to Contest #122

Of course, of all the workaholics employed by the Mall’s cinema, I was the only person who volunteered.

And “after hours” means “deep night” if you work at a movie theater. No wonder I was the only one eager to embellish the place.

“Memories of the Marble Stairs” by Dmitriy Galashin

Submitted to Contest #120

“Thank you, darling. The way you serve the tea brings back the memories...” Good. Kinda hoped for it. “I recall having tea after our first concert in the Palace club, just like that – white porcelain of the pot, and tiny cups around, and cubes of sugar, and milk – rich and cold, and most remarkable – that vapor, how it fills the room, thick and redolent...” Gosh, I love listening to her. It’s like walking into another world, rediscovering places as she guides you through. “And the boys: Tommy still nervous, twitching; Charlie s...

“Into The Wonderlands” by Dmitriy Galashin

Submitted to Contest #113

..the waves of crescendoing waltzes filled the ballroom, the chandeliers were on fire, and the reflections in the shining mirrors amalgamated with the dancers in endless revolutions. The sugary, floral fragrances hovered over the hall, mildly exciting, tenderly intoxicating. “Fourteen, just a little too early for the balls?” “Oh, I come for the desserts,” I say, smiling And another dessert cart rolls by, the first tray taken by marble cakes and berry-covered pies, the second housed marzipan tartlets, and crispy pastry, third lodged w...
