Unbreakable Curse – Part 3 “What the f-” Ed jumped up from the toilet seat, opened the door and turned around to look. Above the toilet, there was the same faint, white shadow that had been present moments before in his room. “Why are you here?” He shouted, quickly pulling on his pyjama pants, to […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 2 The following day, Edward went straight to work. As always, he was among the first to arrive at the office. Waiting for him, on his desk, tons of paperwork he would have had to manage throughout the day. Sometimes, it seemed he was the one in charge of the most […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 1 The old wooden gate leading to the courtyard felt heavier than usual that evening, and as he pushed it, Edward realized he was very tired.

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 […]
Slightly Untuned – Part 2 After a couple of seconds, Leon dared to look in her direction again. Susan: why did he think about that name? Did he really know that girl? He couldn’t recall. He looked at her from afar. The floor just below the stage seemed to be her natural environment: she danced, […]
