Tu ką pieši?"En: Sitting quietly beside him, she said, ""Hello, I'm Viktorija. What are you drawing?"Lt: Lukas trumpam pakėlė akis, sumurmėjęs: ""Kuriu eskizus... tiesiog vaizdus, kurie man įdomūs."En: Lukas briefly looked up, murmuring, ""I'm creating sketches... just visuals that interest me."Lt: Šis trumpas pokalbis užsimezgė ir lėtai palengvėjo į draugišką diskusiją apie meną, gyvenimą ir svajones.En: This brief conversation sprouted and slowly eased into a friendly discussion about art, life, and dreams.Lt: Bet Lukui vis dar buvo sunku atverti save iki galo.En: However, Lukas still found it difficult to fully open up.Lt: Viktorija, jaučianti jo atsargumą, ryžosi pasiūlyti: ""Žinai, galėtume susitikti už ligoninės ribų ir pakalbėti daugiau apie tavo darbą".En: Sensing his caution, Viktorija ventured to suggest, ""You know, we could meet outside the hospital and talk more about your work."Lt: Tačiau netrukus įvyko netikėtumas.En: But soon, an unexpected event occurred.Lt: Staiga dingo šviesa - ligoninę užklupo trumpalaikė elektros energijos pertrauka.En: Suddenly, the lights went out—a temporary power outage struck the hospital.Lt: Lukui ir Viktorijai tai buvo akimirka, kada visa aplinka sustingo ir pasijuto tarsi kitoje dimensijoje.En: For Lukas and Viktorija, it was a moment when the entire environment froze, feeling as if in another dimension.Lt: Jie pasinaudojo šia akimirka, akis į akį kalbėdami prie nedidelės žvakelės liepsnelės.En: They seized this moment, speaking face to face by the small flame of a candle.Lt: Viktorija pradėjo pasakoti apie savo viltis ir baimes, o Lukas dalinosi mintimis apie savo kūrybinę vienatvę ir norą rasti supratimą.En: Viktorija began to share her hopes and fears, while Lukas expressed thoughts about his creative solitude and his desire to find understanding.Lt: Žvakelė buvo švelni jų pokalbio šviesa, kuri suartino jų sielas ir ištirpdė baimes.En: The candle was a gentle light for their conversation, bringing their souls closer and dissolving fears.Lt: Staiga šviesos vėl įsijungė, aplinka atgijo.En: Suddenly, the lights came back on, and the environment revived.Lt: Bet jų ryšys, užmegztas tamsoje, nebuvo laikinas.En: But the connection they forged in the darkness wasn't temporary.Lt: Išėję į šviesą, jie apsikeitė kontaktais ir sutarė susitikti už ligoninės ribų.En: As they stepped into the light, they exchanged contacts and agreed to meet outside the hospital.Lt: Lukas suvokė, kad bendraudamas jis gali atrasti ne tik įkvėpimą, bet ir nuoširdžią draugystę.En: Lukas realized that through communication, he could discover not just inspiration but also genuine friendship.Lt: Viktorija jautėsi pagaliau atradusi tai, ko ieškojo - prasmingą ryšį.En: Viktorija felt she had finally found what she was looking for—a meaningful connection.Lt: Šis neplanuotas susitikimas pakeitė abu, suteikdamas vilčių ir naujų perspektyvų jų gyvenimuose.En: This unplanned meeting changed them both, providing hope and new perspectives in their lives.

Christmas Short Works Collection 2017 by Various ciesse This year's Christmas collection of short stories, poems and non-fiction features 29 readings in English, Lithuanian, Spanish and Romanian. Unstoppable Farce; The Mitch Maloney Story Mitch Maloney Unstoppable Farce tells the story of "Mr. Mirth" himself, in his own words, beginning with forty-five years of what might generously be described as a wasted existence before he decided to become the most successful FC (Famous Comedian) of all time. He describes how he created his Lithuanian Chupacabra alter ego, honed his signature Cheezy Pleezers bit, and became a viral sensation on Qlip Qlop and H!jnx. He dishes the dirt on touring with Hannah Gadsby and Dave Chapelle, what really went down behind the scenes at SNL, and what it was like to be the first (and last) comedian to play the Acropolis. And that's just the beginning. This audio production was made possible by the Seventh Reformed Church of Latter Day Witnesses. Audio engineering by Darbeliostriumopolatrius Macodivetticus. Theme music: "Ouchy" written and performed by Muddy Mitch with Sweet Tooth Delacroix. Monssun Monssun Monssun - Simonas Gudavičius is a Lithuanian musician & producer coming from Siauliai/Vilnius.
