    "So what's the catch?"Those had been the words I'd asked Merrick when he'd dangled the key to immortality in front of my face. Not just immortality but power. I hadn't known such a simple thing could have such damning consequences. Though I supposed back then, I was naive and hungry. Willing to listen to anything if the price fits me. Was the price worth it?It was so dull. It was like the whole world was wrung of life the second the cold metal that now hung heavily around my neck, was first locked in place. Ever since that day, I’d become a Darling, serving the lord of the area with my blades,...VOVone door

    The totems coruscate with the tints of amethyst, ruby, canary and emerald and a lot more that the spectrum of colours can expand to.

Everything would be so much simpler, he knew, if his parents would only admit that he was the problem.Andrew had a book open in his lap: The Chronicles of Narnia. It...VOVone door

    Six of One...

    I love this city; I just can’t live here.  But then, that has little to do with appreciating a fix that takes you to a place you can believe in, or one that you can’t forget, if only on a Monday. It is not just the excitement of the city; it is more than that. The lights, the noise, the immediacy that permeates from every crack in the sidewalk; the city, the world, as though taking its final breath. The pulsating waves of fear, hate, euphoria that accompany you on a stroll through a town that is being born, as it is dying in your presence. A guy I know lives on the fourth floor of a brick bu...VOVone door
