    About this ebook

    A short, disturbing story about a hotel room. I have absolutely no idea who I am as I stand here alone, completely alone in the centre of a dank, dreary room. I have no idea how I got here. All that I know is that something terrible is about to happen. I cannot explain it; I just KNOW that something terrible is about to happen!

      When Wendy Asked What We Dream

      Jul 1, 2019

      When Wendy asked what we dream, I wanted to say war and drowning. Not drowning exactly, but the moment when the choice is made to drown or not drown, before the mouth opens. Instead I said I never dream of cats. But that night I remembered the cats I

      It had been ten days since my last fix. I knew what I was going to do was wrong, but unless you knew the yearning that your body exerts, the internal pull which strangles your very soul into submission, then you cannot judge me. Yes, it was wrong. Ye
