I like to complain, a lot. So much, in fact, that if I got a euro for every time I ranted about something, I'd have enough money to go on a cruise, at least twice a year. Salty is my middle name, so if your food is ever lacking that sodium chloride, just check out my rants. You might get a heart attack, but that's not my problem. Feel free to PM me with any topics you think I should rant about. Oh, and don't forget to bring those unseasoned fries. Cover by: @solitaric Banners by: @TheBlueDJ

#23 in Vampire [02.05.2016] Sick of the stories and superstitions of her hometown, Anne decides to put an end to them once and for all. With a midnight trip to Greenbay's Cemetery, and the reading of a spell, she proves herself right. Or so she thinks. When she meets a man claiming to be a vampire, the myth starts to seem a little less crazy. Faced with death, she strikes up a deal. A deal that he intends to hold her to, for better, or worse. *~* "Though we-I, am called a variety of names, not necessarily flattering," his eyes flickered, "I prefer to be called a-" "Vampire," I breathed out. He slightly tilted his head to one side, raising an eyebrow. "You're smart," he commented, and took a step towards me. "And stubborn," he continued in that deep voice of his, taking another step, bringing himself just a foot away from me. "And in danger," he finished, closing the distance between us. *~* Gorgeous cover by @atmosphere-

~זוכה פרס הוואטיס 2016~ מישהו אמר פעם, שהספרים הם ההוכחה שקסם קיים. קסם לא נאגר רק בספרים לדעתי, הוא יכול להימצא בכל מקום, ובכל זמן. ואם האדם מוכשר מספיק, הוא ידע איך להשתמש במילים שניתנו לו, ישזור אותן במיומנות ובאהבה לתוך משפטים, שיהפכו לפסקאות, לעמודים, לפרקים ולספרים. ובתוך המילים האלה ייאגר הקסם. קסם שיעבור בעדינות ובאור לתוך לבבות האנשים, ובתקווה יגרום להם להבין את העולם הזה טוב יותר. יגרום להם לראות בו יותר תובנות, יותר יופי ואור. יגרום להם לחייך. לדעתי זאת הסיבה שאנשים כותבים. כי הם רוצים לדעת איך לגעת בלבבות האנשים. זאת הסיבה למה אני כותבת. והתקווה היחידה שלי, היא שתהנו ממנה. הספר יכיל קובץ של סיפורים קצרים בעיקר, שירים וקטעים שכתבתי. *תודה רבה ל despReader על הכריכה היפיפייה!*

LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. Journey on a road that is smooth, graveled and sometimes even unmade yet to the destination that is not pretty. Euphemism intended. Scribbles, v. The product of life's ups and downs while on the road to decay. Darks, lights and greys all depicted in a string of doodles and sometimes, poetry. She scribbles is a collection of poetry pieces that are a product of life's events and courses. Poetry that is stirred by an emotion, event or a thought penned down spontaneously without intrusion of alien variants with hopes that it pulls at the strings of your heart. Trigger warning: The feels that compelled/upshot the poetry are highly contagious. Take refuge in a tub of ice cream and dozens of chocolates if the symptoms cause impairment in functioning.
