The Ink Murders

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 […]

The Lonely Reaper

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. Sometimes, I see a pool of water, an oasis, but then I realise that it’s just a mirage. Never have I been so thirsty. 4th hour, 14th of June. […]

The merry life of Freya Meadow

The problem with putting on a mask to face the outside world, is that at some point there will come a point when you are unable to take it off. 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 […]

What if?

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 […]

Music box

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 […]

Come with me

Dreams, everybody has one. Some dreams are more realistic than others, like going to university. Others are not, like when a little girls says she wants to be a mermaid. That is just imagination, which can also be another way of seeing reality. A way of escaping everyday’s boredom. Like when you are reading a book. Books can make you […]
