The ambitious creatures used every trick in the trade to get what they want, and added a number to their manhood. Maybe, they were fuelled by a desire … Continue reading Damaged

They are willing to love unconditionally, stay hungry if the master is not around to feed them and exist with the sole purpose of loyalty to a particular human being.

‘This place was designed by Angelo Del Vecchio. He billed by the minute, you know?’
She stepped out to the garden overrun by nettles and weeds.
‘I used to host tea parties here when I was a kid.’
She stopped outside the derelict solarium and choked back a sob.
‘What happened? It was so beautiful.’
‘Age and neglect, Madam.’
She ran a shriveled finger over her parched face.
‘Ah, yes!’
The once dream-girl walked away in silence.
