《My Humble Adobe Of Short Stories》Letter to a Stranger

Dear Stranger Whom I Wish To Meet Someday,
Okay, this is not a very good beginning but let me start with telling you this, in advance, that I'm not very good at writing letters. Writing letters is all a bit new for me because I haven't really written letters to anyone before, so please bear with me a little. You know, today as I am writing this letter, a thought occurred to me: Why don't we write letters more often? It is such a beautiful process: You pick out the best piece of paper you can find; pour out your feelings along the lines, fold the letter neatly; put it in a pretty little envelope; seal it with wax and then send the letter off. But sadly, slowly and gradually this art is dying.
Look how stupid of me, in all of this (explaining how I am not good at writing letters), I even forgot to ask you about your wellbeing. I know you can't see me right now, but I'm definitely facepalming myself. :)) Anyway, I hope that you and your family are in good health. :) Even though I haven't met them yet, someday I hope I will.
When you write to someone you have never seen before, you start expecting a lot from them like how their personality is, what their physical attributes are, if they like eating olives as much as you do?(yes, I do love to eat a good amount of olives). But for once, I would like to keep all that aside and not expect anything. Honestly, before writing this letter, I did imagine those things but now, I know that those are pointless cause I want to see you through your eyes.
This may sound a little random, but do you wanna know something amazing. Right now I'm sitting in my balcony and writing this letter. It is around 6:30 a.m and one of the most beautiful sights behold my eyes. In the very East, the sun is rising above the horizon with red, orange and pink hues spreading in all the directions. I know a lot of people say that sunsets are beautiful but try giving sunrise a chance(if it is possible), especially if you are feeling low someday. For me, sunrise denotes hope; that after every dark day, there would be a day filled with light. And I hope that this can help you in those dull, tiring days.

Before I end this letter, I would like to apologize for if I have said something wrong or offended you in some way. And Thank You for taking out the time to read this letter. The seal on the envelope has a dried flower stuck to it from my garden, hopefully, this will remind you of me. If someday, we meet or you read this letter( no matter if it's two, four, ten or even twenty years), please write back to me.
Goodbye, for now,
Your Awaiting Stranger.

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
