"My chest feels heavy.
So heavy I can't breathe.
In a panic I open my eyes and look around.
Thank god... It was just a nightmare."
In the year 2037, Edith, a recent university graduate, starts working at the place of her dreams. She makes new friends and learns more about the world. Both the beautiful and the not so beautiful.
In this new world, she gets the feeling of someone following her.
Murders that at first seemed to be just nightmares are getting closer and closer to her.
Just what is her connection to the killer?
And what if they aren't human?
This story has horror elements (gore and stalking for example), so viewer discretion is adviced.
Artificial Tears is the first book I finished writing:)

"You think I'd murder you?" He laughed humorlessly.
"I- what?" I stuttered, looking at him with a lost expression. If he didn't want to kill me, what was all of this then?
"What's your name, speedy?" He asked after shaking his head.
"Why would I-I tell you my name?" I tried to sound brave, but this whole scenario was just freaking me out.
"I'll find out, eh?" He gave me a smirk. What?
"For what? You can just kill me now. I don't want to live like this anymore." I breathed out. I really don't. His loud and obnoxious laugh pulled me out of my thoughts. What's so funny?
"You're funny. But-" He took a step closer and I immediately stepped backwards.
"-the stunt you pulled last week-" My back hit the wall and I gasped as he stood only a few inches away from me now. His finger lifted my chin and I gulped.
"-was not." His smirk was replaced by a serious expression. His eyes were so dark and captivating, I couldn't look away.
"And you know what they say, speedy?" He continued as his eyes flickered towards my mouth. I shook my head and his smirk was back.
"Keep your friends close. But-" He clenched his jaw.
"Keep your enemies closer."
