If she had been physically able Diane said she would have taken her own life. That’s not illegal. But because of the terrible nature of her illness she could not do this – to carry out her wishes she would have needed assistance. Diane died in a hospice in May 2002, having fought in the High Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Her widower, Brian, has never stopped campaigning for justice for Diane. Nobody has done more to promote the need for reform of our law. Do you have a story to tell? A character is sold the "Best Year of Their Life" by an illustrious company, with the caveat that they must die afterward. We know stories are very personal, so rest assured that we will not publicise anything until we have spoken to you and you’ve given your final approval. An asteroid is heading toward Earth; people in a small town figure out how to spend their last day. In the midst of a war, the women of a local town abandon their neighborhood only a week before their husbands and sons return.
A character's home is split in two by a sudden Earthquake. They must work to find a way to the other side, where something valuable is. An old woman tries her hand at cooking for a man again for her first first date in over fifty years. A pregnant teen faces the reality that her life is going to be much different from her high school peers. The reality of apartheid, and later the effects of its aftermath, dominates Gordimer’s fiction. Here her narrator, who has escaped the tension of Johannesburg to play at farming in a rural suburb, becomes enraged when, following the death and autopsy of one of his workers’ brothers, the authorities return the wrong body for burial. Despite his efforts to achieve justice, the story’s final, bitterly ironic lines reveal that he is blind to his own racism. “Big Two-Hearted River” by Ernest Hemingway (1925)Telling personal stories can be extremely powerful. We are building a network of people willing to share their experience to help us strengthen the case for law change. After a series of grizzly murders on full moon nights, a small medieval village must figure out which among them is a werewolf. A dramedy about a separated couple raising their kids under the same rough, waiting for the day they'll all go to college. A department store sales person runs into an old high school classmate who threatens to reveal information that could lose them their job. When described in summary, there is a danger of reducing Borges to a collection of tropes: labyrinths, mirrors, invented books (he avoided “the madness of composing vast books” by pretending they exist and writing commentaries on them). But with these elements he explored some of the most thrilling ideas in fiction. Labyrinths and strange books are both present here, as is a theory of existence that anticipates the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Extraordinarily, all these elements are enfolded within an account of a wartime espionage mission. “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen” by Tadeusz Borowski (1946)
An acting coach attempts to create the greatest theater company around, looking to both the actors and the audience. A drama series about a spaceship and its crew set out to discover new galaxies, and the many things they encounter.
