Unseen

By Kameko Murakami

A terrible accident robbed Danaë of her life, but not by killing her. Instead, it transformed her into an angel of mercy, cursed to be unseen by the entire world, with one exception: the dying.

Now, she is pulled by invisible threads which lead her to murders that haven't yet taken place, or accidents that are about to happen, heart attacks that are only pulse beats away, and she waits for the moment when death descends, in order to soothe and calm the terror and pain of the dying's passing into the beyond.

The loneliness is destroying her.

Things are about to change for Danaë, however. She's found someone who knows she exists, who can feel her presence, and wants to free her from her solitude and share his life with her.

The only problem is that he has a habit of collecting women, and when he's done with them, he buries them in shallow graves in the desert.

The one living person in the world who can see her, and he's a serial killer.

Now Danaë must put herself at risk in an attempt to put an end to the madman's rampage, before he finds a way to take not only her own life, but her humanity as well.

There are things in this world worse than loneliness.

Like a hand over your mouth, and the cold glitter of candlelight reflected on the knife's blade aiming at your heart...

Kameko Murakami

Kameko Murakami is an author and oddball who lives, works and breathes in a somewhat-haunted Victorian in San Francisco that she shares with a dog which appears out of thin air (but only when it wants to shower in her bathroom), a sometimes roommate who is fond of breaking and entering, and far too many dusty books to even bother with counting. She is the author of numerous author's bios for Smashword's Kameko Murakami Page, most of which ended up reading like postings on an internet dating website. Kameko Murakami also likes walks along the beach, making breakfast in bed and loving the same kind of obscure bands that you do. She used to date a Serbian with a handlebar mustache. She doesn't have the Serbian anymore, but she does still have his motorcycle, so there is that. When not tirelessly working on making the world a better place through the power of naps and general laziness, she sits at her antique desk, alone with her thoughts, writing by the light of a single candle, producing stories to entertain and delight, if you're into that kind of thing.
