Some 'lost stories' are those of the common people during major historical events. For instance, during the Industrial Revolution, while we know about the big factories and technological advancements, the personal stories of the workers, their struggles, and their small joys are often lost. These stories could include how they coped with the harsh working conditions, their family lives, and their dreams. Also, the stories of indigenous tribes that were pushed aside during colonization are also lost stories. We only hear about the broad strokes of colonization, but the detailed cultural and social fabric of these tribes that was disrupted is not well - known.
One example could be 'The City and the Pillar' by Gore Vidal. It was a significant work exploring gay themes at a time when such topics were not widely accepted in mainstream literature.
The story of Roanoke is quite famous. The entire colony vanished without a trace. There were no signs of struggle, just an empty town. Some believe they were taken by supernatural forces. Another is the story of Pompeii, which was destroyed by a volcano. Although it's now a popular tourist site, the idea of a whole town being wiped out so suddenly is terrifying.
Well, there's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole and enters a strange world full of curious characters like the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. 'Peter Pan' is another well - known kids story. Peter takes Wendy and her brothers to Neverland, a place where they have many adventures with pirates like Captain Hook.

There's 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings' by Gabriel García Márquez. This story features a strange old man with wings who appears in a small village. People are both curious and cruel towards him.

Beastiality is an unethical and often illegal practice, so I cannot promote or provide stories related to it. We should focus on positive, ethical and legal topics such as stories about friendship between humans and animals in a proper and respectful way.
