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 […]

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 […]
I’m looking through the keyhole, again. I know I shouldn’t do this. I know I shouldn’t get lost in pleasure I cannot obtain. Not in this way, not like this. Society consider this taboo; considers this a sin. But what can I do, besides being myself? I like me – mostly. If there is a […]
