An Offer You Can't Refuse!
The door behind him slammed shut. Sweat poured down from his brow. I almost accidentally did pee my pants. What on earth, Lisa? I mean, I did hate her but not enough to kill her. Apparently, someone else did? How the heck did she end up here? Questions swirled like tornadoes in my head.

The Jacobites were portrayed as primitive Gaelic speaking Catholics, who committed themselves for Bonnie Prince Charlie. Their Italian born princeling. The Jacobites were not the ragged rabble portrayed in media and history, but rather traditional units and strong muskets.

The red scorpion. Top Story - December 2024.
I know that when dawn breaks I will be devoured by the red scorpion I tattooed on my chest. I remember the moment, the euphoria of that Friday when I decided to get it tattooed. I dreamed of having it on my skin, I chose it with the care with which one chooses the love of one's life. Its shapes, its figures, its imposingness. I had woken up on my eighteenth birthday. My mother had lost her authority to command. As soon as it was daylight, I ran excitedly to the Moroccan's shop, on the outskirts of the city. I arrived at his business after lunch. The Moroccan, with a reputation for making pacts with the devil, greeted me with a smile. I stripped before him from the waist up and gave myself to his ways. The process took seven hours. I wanted it to be impeccable, shining on my chest.

The decline of the human mechanic
I raise a glass to humanity. I admit, I took the characteristics of being human for granted. Being human is probably the most amazing thing I could be, the most amazing thing we could be. Usually, people don’t appreciate their humanity enough; we tend to focus on our problems and difficulties. Even those who do appreciate their humanity eventually go through experiences that lead them to change their minds. And then there are those who look down on all other forms of life around them. Unfortunately, everyone is like that – and I was too. Actually, I was like that. But now, everything is different for me. In fact, everything changed a long time ago. I don’t really know how long it’s been since I was put into this... situation.

Rosewood Hospital 3
It was a boring day, as usual. I had completed my ward rounds and sat down for a cup of tea. I was tired, though I had done nothing of significance. The gloomy weather, coupled with the surrounding mist, made everything feel heavier.

Cold
Damn, it’s cold in here! I’ve never felt this cold in all my life. I did come close once when walking across a lake and the ice gave way. The freezing water soaking through every stich of clothing causing me to gasp as all the air rushed from my lungs. Ironically, it was those same saturated clothes coupled with the frigid air that saved my life. I placed my jacket arms and mittens with my hands in them on the ice and they quickly froze to the lake surface. Now I had the leverage needed to pull myself out of the water. Ice crystals immediately formed over my entire body. Fortunately, another ice fisherman saw the whole event and helped me back to a warm campfire.
