[SHORT STORY #TheAmbys2021]
Ana Valente is an upcoming Poker legend, looking to solidify herself as Queen of the Game.
Yet, one night while in her apartment in Paris, she receives three packages, each one adorned by a playing card. Before she gets the chance to open them though, she receives a call from a mysterious man who has left her a message. A message written on the windows of the apartments across from her... in blood.
Roped into a game that she must play in the confines of her apartment, Ana has to put the pieces together of the clues she received, for if she does not, the safety of her neighbors will be at risk, and quite possibly, herself.

The Boarding House Horror
A much-hated man is found dead, his face twisted into a rictus of horror. Young Inspector Visser can't stand the sight of blood or death, so this case was destined to be a struggle, even before a storm hits. The death occurred in an isolated boarding house on Pluvierstraat, The Hague. Fighting nausea as he examines the body, Visser grudgingly concludes that the death is murder by poison. Which of the motley group of suspects is the killer? The blind woman? The practical jokester? The Italian ex-convict? The English bookie? The scarred railroad engineer? Or could it be the pretty piano teacher? Visser orders them all to stay inside the house as he completes his time-consuming police work. The confinement becomes real when a storm strikes, cutting electricity and telephone. Clues mount and tensions rise, and the murderer among them could kill again. The more clues Visser unravels, the closer he comes to becoming the next victim. ---- I tried to channel Agatha Christie a bit. Okay, more than a bit. This story was longlisted in the 2020 "Open Novella Contest," and won 2nd place in the 2022 Punk Rock Awards, Mystery & Suspense category. Comments welcome!Concluida

Naina, a crazy girl, exiled from her hometown, accused of practicing black magic that took her parent's life. Her unique ability, unknown to the world. It burnt down along with her parent's body.
