In literature, theater, and film, an antihero is a central character who is not very admirable: weak, lazy, incompetent, or mean-spirited. However, antiheroes are rarely actually evil, and you should not use this word as a synonym for “villain” if you want to get a good grade on your English lit paper.
A fluke was originally a lucky stroke in billiards, and it still means a fortunate chance event. It is nonstandard to use the word to label an unfortunate chance event. There are lucky flukes, but no unlucky ones.

Days slip away, but I feel peace Broke up with the Dragon, but he's chasing me I'm not sure there's a life I can lead I swear to give it back, fuck immortality
You're just stuck in the box that was made for me And you're mad I got out and I'm living free Free your mind, come outside Pledge allegiance to the gay agenda
Don't underestimate the power I keep If you can't keep up, then you're not for me Pray as much as you can, there's no hope for me I will see you in hell, I will be bringing the heat

What do you think about when you run? Your upcoming day, big life events, things you’re struggling with?
Or, maybe a better way of asking this question is, what does running help you think through/process? Are there any breakthroughs you’ve made when you’re out on a run?
Really interested to hear what running is like for you between the ears. — Terrell
It's a form of meditation and therapy for me. It is my time alone. It is a chance for me to listen to music and enjoy the outside scenery. I love waving to people along the way.
I think about everything & nothing, that's the joy of running. It removes all other stresses going on for those 35-50 minutes & by the time I'm done any problem I had before suddenly doesn't seem so important. It helps to reset perspective on things.
Or if I run with friends it's at a pace where we can just enjoy & shoot the breeze together.
Whatever it is I think about, I always feel better physically & mentally after getting out.
スペイン語のタイトルは「Manual del perfecto cuentista」 英語では「The Manual for a Perfect Storyteller」です。
(English)
Believe in a master- Poe, Maupassant, Kipling, Chekov- as in God himself.
Believe that your art is an unreachable summit. Don’t dream of dominating it. Once you can achieve it, you will be able to write the perfect short story it without thinking about it.
Resist imitation if possible; but if the urge is too great, imitate. More than anything, developing a personal voice takes a lot of time and patience.
Have blind faith in your capacity to succeed, or in your desire to achieve success. Love your art like your girlfriend, giving it all your heart.
Don’t begin to write without knowing where you are going from the first word. In a good short story, the first three lines are almost as important as the last three.
If you want to express “a cold wind blew from the river,” write just that. Once you have mastered the use of words, don’t worry whether they are consonant or assonant.
Don’t add unnecessary adjectives. Colorful words attached to a weak noun will be useless. The correct noun will have incomparable color and brightness. The trick is finding it.
Take your characters by the hand and lead them firmly to the end, ignoring everything but the way you have plotted. Don’t get distracted by seeing things that they cannot and care not to see. Don’t abuse your reader. A short story is not a miniature novel. Hold this as an absolute truth, even though it isn’t.
Do not write from under the power of your emotions. Let the feeling die and evoke it later. If you are able to conjure up the feeling again, you are halfway to mastering your art.
Don’t think about your friends when you write or on the effect that your story may have. Tell your story as if it only mattered to the confined world of your characters, of which you may be a part. This is the only way to give your story life.
