Belle Adams' Butler

Belle Adams' Butler

Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~

Analysis of Samuel Beckett's Best Short Stories

Samuel Beckett's short stories are often marked by a sense of absurdity and a deep exploration of the human condition. In his best short stories, we can see his unique narrative style. For example, his use of sparse language forces the reader to fill in the gaps, creating a sense of unease and mystery. His characters are often in a state of limbo, both physically and mentally, which reflects the post - World War II sense of disillusionment and alienation in Europe. His stories like 'First Love' are prime examples where the protagonist's experiences are at once ordinary and yet deeply strange, as if he is adrift in a world that has lost its meaning.
