Thanks for reading my stories

Hey, good to see you again. Sit back, kick your shoes off and enjoy the story.All good things must come to an end, as somebody (I don’t know who) once said, and in this spirit, my stories too must come to one.
It’s been a year since I first sat down at my computer and typed [...]

Gin Rummy

I had just finished my last appointment and it was late. Evening was already falling crisply as I left the building and walked to my car. A light breeze caught in my hair as I went, ruffling my bangs with the cool scent of humus. It was only February and we still had snow, but [...]

The Winter Walk

It was cold as I walked. Freezing cold.  The wind bit into my skin like icy teeth and cut through my thermal trousers as if they were silk pajamas. I shivered and pulled my jacket tighter around me. Even my ultra-thick high-tech down jacket was no match for the chill, because, unfortunately, it couldn’t cover [...]
