Not everything is as it seems...

It is widely discussed across the country, that it is possible that a person could be born, live and die in one city and never explore it all in one lifetime. This has never been proven, yet in a city like London, with a population of 8.63 million, it is most likely true. It is an ever growing city, with new paths, roads, sewers and canals created everyday; it is so badly crowded, that even someone raised in the city will get lost, never see each and every crevice of it- even cabbies use sat-navs now.

It has been proven though, that it is easier to hide in plain sight than out of it. It is also true that there is safety in numbers.

Provenance Black is a shining example of a street that can never be found, no matter how hard a body looks, it has been lost over time as forests of steel and glass take over and unless you know what to look for, you'll walk right on by.

Or you will stumble upon it quite by chance and never see the outside world again.






This is a collection of short stories of those who inhabit The Black. There are witches, skeletal bartenders, talking foxes, were-beings and mad scientists found in these tales, all of whom have little time for humans.

Do paranormal things, witches and magic exist? There are gifts that are waiting to be discovered. The mythical power is just waiting beyond the deepest darkest tunnel of the unknown. Only the brave learns to test the waters amidst the labyrinth of its knotted mystery. PLEASE, NO PLAGIARISM. (~Created July 6, 2018:Finished August 5, 2018~) Being engrossed in studying his current case detained him from leaving at once until he forgot the time. He never mentioned to Hera that he's going home after two decades. Only his youngest child knows of his trip back home. Whether he believes in curse or not. It's his 45th birthday tomorrow and he must be home to keep his promise to his mother. His family had never forsaken him, he did. He'd been ignoring their summons since he turned his back from them. Perhaps it's time to grant their plea. He closes his office and walks to the elevator. "Good evening, Artemis." The man in a black jacket greets him. Artemis smiles at the stranger. "Do I know you?" The stranger puts his arm around the stunned lawyer. Behind the unknown man's dark glasses are bloodshot eyes ready to scare the wits out of his prey. "Your mother does. She's expecting me to greet you happy birthday." Removing his dark glasses, he stares at his victim to corrupt his eyes. Insurmountable fear assaults Artemis as excruciating pain drills on his eyeballs. A horrible scream slits through the silence of the night when the clock strikes twelve. As the elevator opens, the stranger loosens his grip and the victim falls on the floor. Covering his bleeding eyes, Artemis winces from severe pain. The man whistles away as he walks past the dead body of the security guard in the lobby to the snowy road outside the building. His victim crawls out of the closing elevator. The curse is true. He must get into his car before his sight totally leaves him. He must warn his family. " I must save Athena!"

Then I moved schools and met this uptight redhead that everyone feared and avoided because she bathed in luxury. I wanted to test just how far she could go. How deep she could venture in her lavish lifestyle. I thought she was a spoiled brat thinking nobody leveled up to her class. I had vowed to humiliate and scar her. And that, I did.

One that had had to bear deep pain than anyone else alive. *25th Feb 2020* Close to 150 pages...(46,513 words)
