"The road not taken sometimes was open only for a blink of an eye"
Soon, these footprints will be covered by the snowAnd my heart grows as quiet as the music of its fallThe curtain soon to fall upon the showOne memory remains, clearest of them all.I remember cobblestones, wet after the rain.Water puddles...
"Old-school Hardboiled Crime Fiction (and Sex) Imitation"
I saw her enter the office as if through a cloud of smoke. She moved towards my desk, a vague spectral figure in burgundy, her heels clicking against the cheap tiles, and I decided it was probably best to extinguish...
"An Edgar Allan Poe pastiche"
I arrived at the village of Weir with my meagre belongings stuffed in a bag, clutching Lord Ledley's letter in my breast. I tried to ask the carriage driver for directions to the estate, but he had left almost before...
