Part 2 
Part 3

I woke up with a start when Theo jumped at my side.

“What?!” my fear woke up before my senses.

“They are coming!” he whispered, and crawled forward with his gun held ready. There were rushed footsteps above our heads, some commotion that unsettled us, we waited with our breath held.

After several minutes of curious noise that didn’t ( Read more... )

I ran the last few yards, and reached out to grab his arm.

“Desmond!” I shouted out, he turned back so quickly that it unsettled me, he jerked his arm free and instead held my hand in a hurtful clasp. He didn’t answer, only looked at me, waiting. I couldn’t see his face in the darkness, but his lack of reaction was more horrible than ( Read more... )

Part 1

The boat rocked softly as it was approaching the shore, it was slowing down, waiting to dock in the crowded port. The setting sun has put a golden veil on the city in front of us, the palm-trees were shivering in the evening breeze. I looked with confused feelings at ( Read more... )

“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…” I murmured softly. She looked away, but her heart was trilling at the words.

“What a stupid lamb” she sighed.

“What a sick, masochistic lion.” I stared into the forest for a moment, thinking what a cowardly lion I really was, how the lamb was bravest of the two of us. She risked her life ( Read more... )

Part 1

I was lying on my back in the silky green grass, letting the sunshine warm my skin. Bella was sitting by my side, curled up with her chin on her knees, never taking her eyes off me. I didn’t scare her. When I first stepped out into the sun she looked at me with wide eyes, but she didn’t run away, she didn’t even shudder. She came ( Read more... )

Note. This is the Meadow scene from Twilight, in Edward's POV. This is a fanfiction, I don't own Twilight or any of the characters.

“I know, we are going back” Alice said looking at me sure of herself, as usual. I smiled at her but didn’t move yet. I was lucky she was with me, agreeing to this last minute hunt.

“Thank you Alice!” She made a face but ( Read more... )

Being alone - I’m good at it. Maybe it’s because I have lots of practice, maybe because being alone gives me the freedom that I hold so dear. But there is no denying that I handle it better than I should. I learnt that last year.

I’d been planning this experiment for a long time and finally I put it into practice on New Year's Eve, 2008. I wanted to ( Read more... )

“Six-one-five” I said to the receptionist on a monotone. He handed over my key with a knowing look on his face. “Third night in a row, lucky bastard…  everybody else is having fun in this place but me…” he was grumbling inside.  I tuned him out automatically, his vulgar mind annoyed me. But I guess it was easy to make assumptions about why I stayed ( Read more... )

I love strange movies. Crushes usually bring me to strange places and this movie was one of them. It hurt, it hit home a bit more than it probably should have.

I felt such a coward after I’ve seen it. Yes, Art was amazingly brave, he dared being awkward. Only a strong person sees life like he does: he can’t even conceive to dissimulate. Most of us ( Read more... )

A colleague of mine came whining the other day. He offered some candy to somebody and he was refused. The person said that it’s written in the Bible that an adult would never offer you anything without expecting something in return, so he never takes anything from anybody. I told him I have read the Bible. The whole thing, from the beginning to the ( Read more... )
