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 […]

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 […]
In All Possible Ways “I’m fed up! You don’t know what you are talking about: sex is fantasy, and fantasy is woman!” Dana said, almost shouting in direction of her colleague. For the past week, she had been arguing with Rick about who of them had more imagination during their hot encounters. They had never […]
Slightly Untuned As long as he could remember, Leon had never liked to be among unknown people. He had never liked parties too much; he had never liked to go to the cinema – closed in such a tigh space with nowhere to run – or to the disco. But there was an exception to […]
