Jack stood at the doorway, stooped, with his hand held up and pointing at the doorbell, but unable to actually push the little steel button. He felt the tickling sensation as drops of sweat rolled down from his forehead, and he felt hot in his chest but cold everywhere else. In his frozen stillness, he began thinking over the vents of the past few weeks and what he had to say.It took him numerous calls just to find the address. He could no longer make contact with his son any other way, so he had to go over to his house. It took him two hour...

Author bio

Amateour writer from Hungary. Interested in writing in the genres of horror, fantasy and sci-fi. My stories usually include a sense of weirdness, absurdity or some philosophical thoughts. To me, reality is in the eyes of the beholder, and often the reality I portray in my stories are somewhat distorted or illusionary - I'm really interested in the power of the mind: how our own minds can alter the reality we experience. Of course, not all stories of mine are centered around these themes, but this line of thinking is the main driving force behind my writing.
