Jane awoke exactly ten minutes before her alarm rung, meaning it was now ten to five a.m. Her suitcase was packed, and her clothes for the day were neatly folded on her bedside table, along with the book she was currently reading. All Jane had to do was get dressed, lock up, and get in the cab. She could picture […]
The wind was biting at my cheeks as I studied the cuts on my hands. How clumsy I had been! And pretty childish too, only so that I could climb the base of Nelson’s column. But what was I supposed to do? At least I hadn’t been silly enough to climb the bronze lions as well. But now, as I […]
I had been wondering aimlessly in the wilderness, with no memory of my past life, before reaching the place. I saw the pretty, yellow mums growing in the salted ground. I guess miracles can happen. I saw the walls covered in ivy, as if they were hiding something. I saw the moss growing on trees to guide people and the […]
Fortunately, the boy’s crime was never discovered, unfortunately, his guilt for the crime was never shed. Well, that was unfortunate for other people, certainly not for him. Nick Haven was many things, but sorrowful wasn’t one of them. And, he certainly wasn’t going to tell on himself. He may have been a sociopath, but he wasn’t stupid. In fact, Nick […]
Hour three, 14th of June. The lone and level sands stretch far away. It’s been three hours since I’ve gotten lost. All I can see is sand and sand and sand.

When the mask will eventually become your own identity and you don’t know who you truly are anymore. But no one is forced to make this choice. At least not […]
Day 1 Dearest Lisa, Every time I see the red roses in our garden, I faint, they remind me of your blood. I cannot cope with your death. Who could have killed you? The thought of your killer being out there terrifies me. One day had passed since you were killed and I still cannot find the courage to go […]
What if all flowers were to wither one day? What would we put on the graves of those we say we loved, even though not a tear was shed during their funeral? What if the sun were to stop shining one day? Would we be finally grateful for it, just because it’s gone? What if all trees were be cut […]
White snow, pale as bone. Full of joy, full of wonder. So beautiful, so pure as it fell from the sky like millions of angels. Its fresh smell mixing with the iron smell as it wasn’t magical anymore. As it fell slowly onto the red blood, dark as anger. As it covered the lifeless eyes, that were once vibrant with […]
As the music played, the ballerina danced. 1,2,3 her pink tutu sparkled across the room. 1,2,3 the ballerina did a pirouette. 1,2,3 The music stopped and so did the ballerina. But, with the swift turn of the hand, the music started again and the ballerina danced again. But this time, the music was covered from the sounds of screams, as […]
