Enjoy this short story by Mace Styx. Taking the end of the handrail, she forced part of the metal clasp into the slit of the door. Then, standing by the buttons she held the length of wood against her chest and pushed on one end to create a lever. Pushing as hard as she could until, yes, she felt something twitch, the smallest, tiniest flicker of yielding movement from the doors. If she kept pushing, kept trying, the door would give. She tried again, pushing the end with all her might and felt the weight of one of the doors shift. She felt a wave of relief, like a physical sensation washing over her and she exhaled deeply. It would come, she knew, it would come and she would not be trapped. She almost smiled, until she saw the stain.Mostra libro
‘Totally gripping and atmospheric. This hypnotic timeslip about witches is compulsive reading. Breathtaking and beautifully written… Will stay with the reader long after the last page.’ Bestselling author of The Witch’s Tree, Elena Collins Now: When Adrianna arrives at the small, run-down cottage, near the sea in rural Norfolk, she can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Here she can forget her life in the city, and the problems she’s left behind there, at least for a while. But – like Adrianna herself – the cottage holds secrets. And when Adrianna finds a mysterious bundle of notes hidden under a floorboard, she can’t shake the idea that they’ve been waiting for her. Especially when – in the rambling, overgrown garden – she then finds a strangely-carved stone, drawing her into a centuries-old mystery… 1646: Between her work as the village midwife and the medicines she sells from her cottage, Ursula has no need for a man. But this ideal leaves her unprotected in a world where just one accusation of witchcraft can mean certain death. So when she catches the eye of a powerful new local doctor, she must use every part of her cunning, or risk becoming his prisoner… Can the two women – their paths bound by place and history – each find the keys to their own destiny?

A love story called My Hell was inspired by my Muse, and many of the poets I have studied. It was originally written to be a narrated stage play. In this Narrative epic Love Story there are hidden messages that only your subconscious will perceive. I wrote this epic story with the intent to show the moral of the story, "Love Conquers All." The story is about a journey through Hell and many personal confrontations with Satan himself. This is one Journey through Hell you will never forget. Welcome to My Hell.Mostra libro
