Motionless

By Magdalena Zielinska

Short Story Press Presents Motionless by Magdalena Zielinska

Benjamin wakes up, laying on a strange bed, in a strange room, in a house he has never seen. He can't remember what happened the night before or how he ended up in this place. Ideally, he would love to gather his belongings and go home but soon he realizes there is no going back from this house.

He is not alone there and the girl who claims to be part of him is not exactly someone you could call a great companion. She's beautiful and, in very odd way, magical, but she seems very out-of-this-world distant. His efforts to get any information from her end up with her leaving and him being overly irritated. He ventures around the house and realizes how very off everything in it is.

This house holds no sounds, no motion. Gravity seems to not be working well and the air... the air is very off, too. Benjamin is determined to find out the truth. He already knows it is connected with him and whatever he finds out will change his life forever.

In the meantime, he also finds out a lot of things about the girl and grows feelings for her that only make it more difficult to let go...
