It all started when Tusnelda and her cat Trix moved into an old abandoned mine. Since then, a lot has happened in their lives.
If you are considering whether this story is for you and you are put off by the long chapter list I would say. Hop on the bandwagon somewhere and try a few chapters.
It is with simlit, like making friends. Maybe you meet a new colleague at a new job or study. Without knowing their entire background, you can become friends. It just requires the right chemistry between you. The past can always be caught up later.

In the first part of the story of Tusnelda and Trix, we have followed their journey from a dark mine in Forgotten Hollow to a nice house in Brindleton Bay. They have both found love and they have made new friendships. Tusnelda has found her dream career and Trix has found a nice beach where he can hunt birds and squirrels.
In the second part of the story, For better and worse, we follow Tusnelda’s efforts to find a balance between her great passion for science and evolutions and her relationship with Martin and his great desire for them to have a child. Trix is the sensible and wondering observer of all their efforts. We have also followed their friend Rasmus in his constant struggle to win true love. So far, it has cost him a lot of defeats and given him some new good friends.
In the third part of the story, Time offers new solutions, we meet new characters in the San Myshuno Art District. Tusnelda, Martin and Rasmus expand their acquaintances. Some of them become an important part of life. Personal development is still a central theme in the story, with all that entails of important choices and struggles. Rasmus goes on a journey that changes his life. Martin and Tusnelda’s desire for a child presents new challenges. Around them we still find a lot of cats and a single dog who may be a stray.

In connection with the Forum closing and deletion of the original thread, I will allow myself to post another book here. This book has no connection with Tusneldas and Trix.
Everything has a beginning and everything has an end....... Here we start with the end which is also the beginning of a new life. This is my first story in English. The book has 56 very short chapters. A turtle's journey
NB: Since chapter 86 is an immediate continuation of chapter 85, I choose to insert both links here.
As the header image suggests, it’s finally time for Rasmus and Izumi’s wedding. A large part of this chapter is about this celebration. It will be a follow up to most of the characters in this story. Especially Tusnelda and Martin and not least Don. Don must learn that there are both disadvantages and advantages to sharing an address with a curious boy like Fabio. The chapter contains a minor episode with Elijah after the cat Ambrosius has become part of his household. There was more planned that I have edited away, otherwise this chapter will be unreasonably long. I’ll have to take that later.
This chapter takes place in the immediate aftermath of Rasmus and Izumi’s wedding. There are still some dreams that there was no room to take care of in the last chapter. We will follow up on them now. No one is unaffected by such an event, perhaps except for Elijah and Fatima who did not attend the party. They run their own personal game and here I move to the edge of what I normally see as appropriate. Don’t worry, nothing goes too far.
Today’s chapter is quite long because there is a lot at stake. Take a break when necessary. Tusnelda and Martin are learning that they are actually expecting a child. Rasmus gets a concern about Don’s behavior. Don, on the other hand, is practicing being able to make some responsible choices. At the end of the chapter, he ends up somewhere he shouldn’t, but which after all might have a reasonable reason. Fabio fears he will be forgotten and turns to Don for comfort. However, not all questions are easy for Don to answer. We are back to the usual mess mixed with some pink sparks.
Before you read today’s chapter, I want to give a warning. The most recent chapters have had a lot of light and hope in addition to the mess and I could feel that the readers were with me on the path I was taking. It has given me a doubt and a form of resistance that I now choose to open up to something dark and sorrowful. There are scenes in this chapter that are very emotional. As the title suggests, not everyone is equally lucky in the lottery of life. Some will experience themselves as winners and others as losers. Not everything is resolved in this chapter, but I hope everyone has found their gain and meaning in life by the time we reach the final chapter.
I won’t say too much about this chapter except that we will return to some of the characters that were introduced last time. We will of course return to Tusnelda and Martin’s desperate situation. I will later elaborate on this at the end. As the title suggests, the chapter contains a lot of loneliness and sadness, but of course also some uplifting pink sparks.
In today’s chapter, Fatima does a lot of reflection on her life and her future. Marcus is overtaken by a future he has not prepared for. Elijah tries to capture an audience on a stage that doesn’t give him much space. Salim attracts unwanted attention as he tries to pursue his personal interests. Andy is both actor and spectator in a present that brings difficult changes for his mother and father. Tusnelda and Martin both still find themselves in a very sensitive present with grief as an inseparable companion. So many changes. They all try to deal with to what life brings them to the best of their abilities.
