The Villains We Desperately Needed
Someone was breathing on my face. The realization of this unsettling thought jerked me awake with a start. The peaceful face of a boy, the spitting image of mine, swam into my vision. He had a shaggy mop of hair the color of silver, the ends of it almost completely covering his peacefully closed eyes. But even closed I knew the color of them. It was the same as mine - ocean blue.

Humans 2.0
I woke up in a cold, steel ‘coffin’. I later found out this was not unusual, but at the time, there was nothing more frightening than waking up in a sealed container with no chance of escape, just waiting and hoping that someone will take you out of it.

The Lion That Rules Our Hearts
Dear reader, I present to you pure perfection with the glorious name that only a king can have - Leo. He is a four-year-old cocker spaniel who roams around his kingdom completely convinced he is human. Before I tell a story about how he made my workdays a thousand times better, I must tell a few more in order to illustrate why this lovely being deserves all the love in the world and why it will never be enough no matter how much of it he is given daily.

The Only Way Forward
The lady was at it again. Her petite, hunched over figure was unmistakable. She was engaged in a deep conversation as always, however, her partner was nowhere to be seen. She had been doing this ever since Marina moved into the building. It did not matter how cold or warm it was outside, the lady was always there talking to no one in particular.
