The red glow in his palm flickered whenever he made a fist. Thoughts of her invaded his mind again. He shook his head, unsure how long he’d been standing there, staring at his hand. Lost in dreams of an unattainable love. Only inanimate objects have been the subject of his testing so far. He hadn’tContinue reading “Red hand”

Scorching days
The heat rose up from the bitumen in shimmering waves of translucent nothingness. Nothingness she couldn’t touch, but feel in every pore and surface of her body. Even below the surface it seeped, strengthening the feeling of melting. Still she kept walking. She’d tried to cover her whole body in light linen clothes. It wasn’tContinue reading “Scorching days”
The Magic Wand
Bronson had started work five minutes ago and already regretted his life’s decisions. When you have the choice between going to the beach—baking yourself on the sand—or working a 10-hour shift in front of a grill—baking the burger patties and yourself—you have to be a real idiot to choose the latter.

Protector
The ground shook. Stabilising herself by bending her knees and jutting her arms open, she looked around. Mierann was still surrounded by grass, the blades towering over her, closely together, each only about 5 of her steps away from each other. The ground kept shaking at a regular interval now. She did not like this.Continue reading “Protector”
Puddles and streams
‘It was a dark and stormy night… No, scrap it, that’s ridiculous.’ The apprentice looked up from across the desk, tapping her pen to her chin. She couldn’t keep quiet and had to point out the obvious. ‘But, it is dark and stormy, sir!’ She pointedly looked towards the window. Being winter, the sun hadContinue reading “Puddles and streams”
