Unbreakable Curse – Part 7 That night Maggie disappeared and didn’t answer to Ed’s calls. He had so many questions, so many doubts, that he didn’t manage to sleep until late night. As a result, he tried everything to get asleep: he tidied up the room from the mess Maggie had done, he tried to […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 6 The realization Maggie had had such a harsh life had made her more real than before, in Ed’s eyes. In the past days, she had asked him more than once if anything was wrong because, for a few times, he had got distracted by his own thoughts while looking at […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 5 After the events of that night, for a couple of days, Edward felt strangely satisfied, and as such nothing happened. Ten days passed, and his life took over, again. Rose was still in his thoughts, but at work, he had too many things to do, and no time to […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 4 The next day Maggie didn’t appear until evening. While working, while travelling on the bus and while having meetings, though, Ed couldn’t get the ghost out of his head.

He opened it just enough for his body to slide between the doors but miscalculated. The heavy door bounced back too soon and hit his […]
Slightly Untuned – Part 5 – End His car had never felt so slow, like that night. The sky was already dark, and the dispersed clouds covered the thin sickle that was left of the moon. The sparse lights along the road blurred away as he speeded in the short stretch of highway that connected […]
Slightly Untuned – Part 4 Leon and Susan slept only for a couple of hours. When he woke up, due to the fact he had drunk quite a lot at the club too, he absolutely needed to pee. During the night, though, they had both changed position and the result was Susan’s head resting on […]
Slightly Untuned – Part 3 Susan lived in a town nearby and it took no more than twenty minutes to get there. When the GPS notified their arrival, they were in an area composed mostly of small, two-storey, colourful townhouses. Her one seemed to be a shade of orange but Leon wondered if it wasn’t […]
