Where History Meets Fiction
Different stories from different periods about different people from different walks of life, but they all have one thing in common: they are set in the world of the past. The beauty of short stories is they have all the elements of a novel, but they can be read in one sitting. (Also, you don't have to wait days and days until the next update) I update randomly, but every story is complete and can stand on its own. :) The stories range from the 1st to 20th century, so there is something in here for everyone :)Complete
Mood Ring
Many might see death and its companions (e.g. grief, depression etc.) as harmful experiences in life. But this story tries to tackle this perception and recount a story that portrays my view of death as an old friend that pays his visits not because he enjoys seeing you die, but because he cares about your transition. After all, life is what's killing us, death is just the observer, one that cares more about you than you might expect.Complete
