The Little Veil
Look how sweet is the veil of mistas it befalls the night’s angst.The fury flames are settled downwith a little kiss from grandma’s tales.

Her dress was wide open in the chest revealing a rich bust, and her curly hair was falling downwards hiding his face. «I was always wondering what such a busy and responsible person was hiding underneath..» she giggled again as…
A Shattering Premiere
The corridor seemed long and dark at its end. The fat red carpets with the windowless walls would make it seem suffocating and stifling, more like the entrance to a big underground cave than anything else. If it wasn’t for the occasional candle lamps appearing every ten steps or so, it would be a rather bleak and dismal place. Yet,…
A Little Bait
«And the alarm takes off…now! Mr. Smith is gonna wait 15 seconds yawning and rubbing his eyes before he pushes the blanket aside and sits up straight on his bed, unfolding his two arms in full length.» The man was examining his watch, holding it carefully with his left hand while his peer was sitting right next to him, listening…
