” Words have no power

to impress the mind

without the exquisite horror

of their reality.” – Edgar Allen Poe

There is no quote that could better emphasise what I try to achieve, with every piece I write. It is my belief that words, not only have the power to impress but to affect the deepest parts of ourselves, so much so, that for a brief moment, the words that are sprawled across dozens of pages are no longer mere words, they become our life.

In essence we will live a thousand lives, fall in love and cry just as many times and all through the thoughts of someone, somewhere behind a typewriter or more recently a computer screen.

I hope to help you live and I hope to make you feel.

Sincerely,

Mishka
