It’s all coming together now: red wine (Merlot), a hand mask, a face sheet mask, popcorn, pizza, and finally, Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth Bennet has pearls twisted into her hair, and all my pain and anxiety melt away at the sight of her. It’s silly, I know, but this comfort movie has a way of healing the wounds on my soul. I sink deeper into Sandra’s couch, letting a wave of gratitude wash over me. I’m getting paid to watch a movie at someone else’s house. Sure, I walked Pickle, fed him his kibble with the special sauce, and gave him a br...

The days have been a blur. How long has it been? The weeks are months and the months years. This time of year is special, because I feel more real. The afterlife continues where life ended. In this forest. Tied to this realm unable to move on completely into the eternal peace. Something is keeping me here. I am looking for something, but what it was has faded away with the seasons. Dwelling the forest gives no answer to the unsettling feeling. The feeling that something is missing. An uncomfortable feeling. Living in a third dimensional pain...

We have hit a wall with this investigation. There are no eyewitnesses, no CCTV footage, no DNA and no clear pattern. We have nothing really. All we have is facts. Puzzle pieces that are so different and the same they cannot be put together. Lines that are so messy the dots cannot be connected. All we have is facts. The first body came into the lab, and we started investigating, then the second then the third until it reached nine. What was the hardest of all is that there was no pattern. The locations where the bodies were found, method of ...

The ballroom is bustling full of life. The commotion is joyful as everyone parades and shows off their costumes. Laughter and violins fill the air. Everyone looks so mysterious yet also so confident and bold in the identity they have chosen. Fairies, Princesses, Knights, Rabbits, colourful birds and some without being something in specific just has an elaborate mask in colourful clothes. From the corner of the room the servants see it all. If they put down our trays of champagne we could blend in too as well. The servants wear suits wi...

“Cut!” The director gives a frustrated sigh while shaking his head. “Madison, you have to say ‘I’m not so sure about this, let’s leave.’ Please stick to the script.” Madison Hamilton does not look impressed with the director telling her what to do. “Fine, just give me a minute.” “Hey! You can’t just leave when you please!” Madison does not hear a word and charges forward to the trailer. The director pinches his nose as if anticipating a headache. The whole crew look at him in expectation. “Everyone take five!” The crew star...

The landscape was ever changing as usual. The three moons hung in the sky like an omen. Dust and rocks crunched under my unicorn's hooves. There was a pile of shoes. Unusual, because it is a bit early in the year for fairies to collect shoes. Here and there was a little dried out bush. In the distance the mountain range framed the nothingness. The giant frames where gold with coils. To look at the serene view was quite relaxing, but I think I am just tired of riding for hours. Time stood still, but has already sped past and the sun was...
