The Apple Orchard

Chapter 1 «Honey, Why don’t you go pick up your stuff.» My mother’s voice comes gentle and soft as she is tapping the back-side of my thin, crusty hair. «We are going to visit your Grandpas. Would you like that?» She grins a big smile as I can feel her breath on my ear. In my hand there lies a…

The Prophesy

Enormous dark-grey rocks are floating around us, swirling purposelessly in an infinite, lost journey. For most of the trip, this is the only thing you meet, apart from the occasional light-generation planet that appears on our horizon. The ship is traveling at the speed of 200.000 miles per hour but you would think its floating in space, like the rest…

A Divergent Path

The curtain wall is foggy and dazzlingly bright as the sun’s rays fall on it from a little angle. They hit on its surface perpendicularly, making it exceedingly hard to look anything beyond it, as if they mark a shiny shield in which you are well-sheltered behind. Various people in professional dressings come and go as they grab their hot…

A New World

«I think you did the right choice. You are quite lucky you have the chance to be one of us now.» «Am I?» I ask timidly. «What I can offer you, cannot be found in any other place on earth at the moment. And neither it will be for a very, very long time.» He extended his hand, offering me…

Acadia

The fiery turbines produced a deafening sound as the little aircraft landed on the rooftop as if it was a little helicopter.

The engine lights still visible through the bursting propellers, diminished their flame gradually, as the dust…

No references on the Brandon scheme, or any other funds at all.» He grins his face in mockery as he covers the speaker for a couple of seconds. «I’m telling you this guy is all about smartphone shit.…

A Hidden Past

«Honey, I’m home!» yelled the woman as she pushed the door behind her, entering the room. She was a lean, middle-aged woman, in her early 40s, wearing a firm beige dress and her big circular earrings were protruding through her straight, chestnut hair that was abruptly cut around her neck. With quick and assertive moves she unleashed her bag from…

The Proposal

«Wooo, I didn’t know a prince could be so fun!» giggled the woman, sitting on top of the young man. 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,…
