Strange corpse

Short Stories

I didn’t know her. She just contacted me through social media stating she urgently needed my assistance. According to her, I was the only one who could help.

Halloween Masquerade

Short Stories

‘The definition of the word “Masquerade” is: a party, a dance or other festive gathering of persons wearing masks and other disguises; a costume or disguise worn at such a gathering; façade, pretense; existence under false pretenses. False pretenses? Tell me, what is more falsely than the human nature? They hide behind their fleshy masks every day. They cover their frustrations with a polite smile.

The Case of Lidia and the Cuckoo Clock

Short Stories

I have seen a few cases in my life. The work of a psychiatrist is quite surprising from time to time. I’ve had patients who thought they were possessed by the devil or thought they were being haunted, patients who believed they were constantly being followed or even patients who believed they came from another planet. I was able to cure most of them the answer being something as simple as confronting one’s fears. But Lidia…she was…something else. Continue reading →

Merciful Fate

Short Stories

I knew I was cursed the moment I set my eyes on him. I don’t know how he did it but I was completely mesmerized by his features, his dark eyes and unbelievably kissable smile.

I was so buried in problems and stress that I hardly paid any attention to my surrounding. Until he forced me to. Continue reading →
