''I came...'' '' Louder, please, I can not hear you. Don't worry, you have nothing to fear. " "I...I came for ...I have a..." " You have an appointment with me, as I understand it. You are Melissa, are you not? " " Yes, " the woman said, visibly relieved " yes, that is my name. " Amanda just had to sigh. She didn't call herself Amanda in here, of course, but lady Gwendolyn, although most of her customers called her just "Lady" as they were not sure how to pronounce Gwendolyn. The woman sitting in front of her was trembling, her wrinkled ha...

Charles was rolling down the hill : it was going slow at first, then his body gathered velocity, like an avalanche. Тhe lightness of the air made him burst into surprised laughter. Another outburst of laughter - that of a child - followed his.` Isn `` t - isn ` t this - great?`, asked Junior as they reached the bottom of the hill and came to a stop.` Surely beats walking down the damn thing `, answered Charles, still laughing. ` God, I haven`t felt this light, this weightless in...``...in too long `, interrupted him the boy, looking at ...

Submitted to Contest #89

It has been awhile since I ` ve seen sunlight: it stabbed my eyes with its thousand stings of molten gold, leaving me more parched than ever. The two men by my sides were dragging me with them as they walked. My resistance had melted and my backbone had melted with it. The silhouette of a man in black was swimming before my eyes, getting closer with each second - an unlikely suitor waiting to invite me for a dance, with a burning rose in his hand. My eyes were mesmerised by the violence of light after the numb darkness of my cell. I forced ...

I was hoping for neither. Right now I was pinned down by the heavy hands of the wall clock, paralysed by the distilled silence spilling out of the crystal glasses arranged in neat pyramids; but in merely two hours I would be free.I would go outside.

Author bio

One of those pretend grown-ups. I can clean the dishes, but learning how to levitate is still way more important to me. Since I`ve learned how to read and write, I`ve wanted to be a writer and an astronaut and now I`m neither, but at least I`m trying. The last thing that made me cry was a sea storm painting. P.S. I`m also into making magic wands atm.
