Creature and the Maiden chapter 26"A ghost!?" Were James's ears teasing him?"Let me finish..." Victor's voice was trembling. "As I said I don't believe in magic or ghosts. When we are sleeping our brain creates random images and thoughts that circle our mind. You can't prove that anything is real or not based on such random and chaotic imagery. But after being terrorized by the same nightmare night after night…I cannot trust myself anymore."James hesitated. He was happy that Victor wanted to tell his fears to someone like him. But he wasn't sure if he knew how to handle Victor's tale."Will you tell me about these nightmares?"Victor took a few deep breaths, to cal
Creature and the Maiden ch 25Creature and the Maiden chapter 25An old bearded man, wearing a fatigued coat and dark grey hat slipped out of the wagon, threw his worn bag on his shoulder before heading up to the main door of a grand painted mansion.The building was yellow and bright, surrounded with large trees with spring leaves, bushes with raspberries and blackberries on them. White and yellow flowers were blossomed in the stone pots nearby while in the distance was a small prim cemetery. The man could hear voices from the backyard which alerted him to where he could find the owners of the house.His eyes roamed the mansion for any visible changes but it all looke
Creature and the maiden ch 24John sat there, alone and shivering in the metal cage. After fourteen days in prison and three performances for the hated audience, his head was spinning with spiteful thoughts about them.Hundreds of eyes had now seen his face and body, no one with a mixture of pity or sadness, not even to say a small word or looking to show they saw another side of him. For them, he was a monster!No! He's a human! His body is made by human parts and no other creature's, so heeas a human being! Even Laura told him that. But he could feel a part of him not really believing it; he tried to ignore that side and figured it would eventually go away on its own.
Creature and the maiden ch 23Creature and the maiden chapter 23.It was a dark and stormy night, and a very cliché one at that. Two voices, brisk and hushed could be heard from a window on the second floor of the house of the DuBarrys. The room the window belonged to was a huge and luxurious bedroom. The walls were white with dark red roses and the canopy bed had the same design as the bed sheets and the curtains. It was beautiful, but a little too voluptuous to be elegant, perhaps more near the edge of coarseness if you looked at the huge toilette, stuffed with perfumes, makeup and beauty creams.Two small wooden chairs sat in the corner in the room with an equal
Creature and the maiden chapter 27Creature and the maiden chapter 27.Toby and Esther Bovary had both been standing stiff and afraid while the police and one of Rochester's men asked them about Laura. Everything from personal traits, people she spends time with and what kind of herbs she had collected. Did she collect any that were poisonous? Like Belladonna or Poison Hemlock? Was there anything particular they had noticed about her? Did they know about this "Creature" she had been keeping in her cottage? Was there something about her grandmother the police and Mr. Rochester should know about? Had she really been a Witch?Toby's eyes had first sparkled with hope when Esther
The Nightmare Catcher ch 18. The Nightmare Catcher ch 18.Papers littered the desk. It looked as if there had been some semblance of order, but a tempest had come and destroyed it. Sheets of newspapers, pencils, charcoal sketches and glass-jars with colored water were scattered across the small surface that belonged only to Carrie in the library. Tattered copies of Edgar Allan Poe, Byron and Mary Shelley lay in unhappy heaps on the floor and a teacup was placed on top of an old book, starting to make a brown circle on it.Carrie sat on the chair, keeping busy by creating pigtails on the each side of her black wig. Her dear Snake was in a state between dark green and pu
The Nightmare Catcher ch 16-Part IIch 16-Part II.It was a silly question and she should had been prepared, considering she had escaped a Zombie, Vampire or whatever was down in the dark grave and someone had actually helped her with the ladder. But the stranger's voice triggered Carries basic instincts and ignoring the strangers question; she quickly leaped to her feet, took her bag that was laid few meters from of her and dashed back towards the entrance to the cemetery.Her clothes were now dirty by mud and her wig needed to be properly brushed but she didn't care. She wanted to escape this wretched place. When she came to the entrance and saw the giant patrolling, her be
The Nightmare Catcher ch 16-Part Ichapter 16, Part I.Creeping downstairs, Carrie carefully avoided the creaking steps on the staircase, pausing at the bottom and peering towards the library where Dr Lothario lay on the chair, cradling a heavy book over his chest while he snored. Carrie smiled at his sleeping form, tiptoeing to the front door and edging outside. She tucked her sketchbooks and pens in her bag, put on a jacket and braced her shoulders with her scarf to cover the Snake as she went out.A brisk wind whipped through the street. The weather in Gorgosseium was getting colder but it was refreshing so Carrie took a deep breath as she began to walk.She took the fam
