Basically, it’s not a big deal, since, after all, this nasty thing is going to happen to all of us. Inevitably and eventually. What worries me is not the fact, but the timing. Some people will die in fifty years. Others will die tomorrow. Personally, I can die at any moment. It’s a bit early, isn’t it? Especially when I think of age. I’m only twenty years old. ‘You can’t kill us.’ My mother defied the armed assailant with a stoic grace, her words resonating through the silence that enveloped us. We slowly retreated in the aisle of the Royal One. She didn’t beg for mercy - she was too proud to do that.

And my sister. And my brother. Yet, mourning

Miss O’Brian, thank you for asking how I am…’ Irene contemplated long and hard about what to say. She wanted to tell her visitor something that wouldn’t sound too pessimistic. But locked in such big plaster casts, she felt so miserable, and the healing process had progressed at a snail's pace for months. ‘I cannot say that I’m fine, but I feel much better than I did at the beginning.’ Angela nodded sympathetically. ‘At the beginning, Mrs Mills? Do you mean right after the attack?’ Recalling what had happened to her, Irene visibly flinched, and tremors shook her body parts that were wrapped in weighty casts. ‘While they were beating me, I begged them for mercy, but they didn’t stop it and didn’t let me go. I was ashamed that I was unable to defend myself, and I was angry with those who didn’t come to save me. But the pain

Sessions of psychotherapy. Hypnosis. Polygraph tests. Sarah had been routinely subjected to all of this for over six months, as per the daily schedule of the special interrogation team. But to no avail. She couldn’t recall the names, the event and the dates that her tormentors were most interested in: her memories of the future. While she was mentally harassed, she had recovered in the physical sense. Her body was no longer covered in plaster, but she couldn’t escape from a different kind of hold. Sarah heavily fidgeted, but she was unable to free her arms and legs that hardwearing straps firmly secured to the chair. She was closely watched by Alice, and behind her, Mr Haas, too, kept an eye on her through his glasses. ‘What was it like to be in a full body cast?’ he asked. ‘I

We’ll be landing soon!’ Overwhelmed by the mesmerising sight of the New World, Sabine stretched out her right arm to point at the white spot embraced with emerald green. She didn’t need to strain her eyes, since the blurry shape slowly developed into a white hangar in the green airfield. Her newfound acquaintance, Nicole stared through the slanted windows of the airship to see the destination. Suddenly, a crew member joined the company of the two girls, unintentionally interfering with the friendship that was forming. ‘Möchten Sie etwas zu trinken, Fräulein Ostermeyer?’ Sabine turned around and glanced at the glasses full of drinks on the tray that the stewardess carried. Although she felt a bit bothered, she displayed a polite smile. ‘Nein, danke,’ she said. The flight attendant went away to offer the beverages to the next group of

Just two minutes ago, she had been received five calls from by the local police department. And the avalanche had begun with the first fifteen unanswered calls from the United States Marshals Service. Seeing the name of the USMS on the list, she picked up the phone from the desk.

Natalie pressed her face against the thin but reinforced glass panes that separated the cosy and warm compartment from the coldness and emptiness of the outer space.
The alien stars, scattered in exotic constellations, strangely glittered, although they had been peacefully burning their hydrogen and helium for billions of years. Natalie was fascinated by the curiosity. Everything was new - she had never been to this spiral arm of the Galaxy before.

Mr Petrovsky showed great interest in the first-time client, however, the feeling wasn’t shared by the woman. The guest, a black-haired girl in her early thirties, paid little attention to him, but she was absorbed in the catalogue whose content left her speechless.
She curiously leafed through the book that the host had given her ten minutes ago. The limited edition was indeed aimed to serve a certain segment of an adult audience, although it didn’t contain any sexually explicit content.

The door suddenly opened, and it just swung past Jennifer’s nose. Startled, the girl stepped back on time. The door, pushed hard, slammed against the wall and bounced back against its frame. The young woman, who had threw open the exit, rushed out of the audition room into the hallway, and she nearly crashed into Jennifer who was waiting there.
Obviously upset by what she had seen or heard in the room, she frantically glanced at Jennifer. ‘Run away! As fas as you can! Those people are complete idiot

‘Please, don’t leave me.’ Esther’s voice could hardly escape through the bandages, which were accurately arranged to wrap every part of the burnt face.
But it wasn't just the huge layers of gauze draped over the wounds that tuned the sentence down into a whisper. The woman was also hea
