 Submission. That's what he would remember that day for. Submission to one's fate. The inescapable fate of being for ever invisible to the only man he wishsed to be noticed by.  He remembered the power cut, right after the funeral. His father sitting alone in that dark room,a single...

 He walked out of campus holding his head. The throbbing headache didn't seem to go away. And all that growing noise didn't help,either. Where did it come from? He looked around. Dark,grim features on people's faces,distorted pictures,as if out of one of Goya'a murals. The Black Paintings....

 Empty.That's how she felt. She walked into the bar in the hope of finding someone to hold her. A couple of drinks later she was dancing with a stranger. A lot more drinks later and she found herself back in her apartment with the stranger's hands all over her. He was tipsier than she was,not...

 He must have stood for quite some time in front of the missing person's photo,because his feet were starting to feel numb. But he couldn't help it. He was sure that the missing person in the picture reminded him of someone he once knew. Those big brown eyes,the pointed nose. Even the...

 12-step,30-step,100-step,no matter how the rehab programme he followed was called,it always ended up in the same place. The same bar,Jack Daniel's at hand,misty eyes. He held the glass in his hand,the golden liquid glistening beneath the dim lighhts,ice cubes melting,leaving a water trail....

 She woke up in a room bathed in the morning sunlight. She inhaled deeply,walked to the window and drew the curtains. What a treat! Finally,sunlight,after weeks of heavy rain. She could even hear birds singing in the distance.  She closed her eyes to soak in the warmth of the morning sun,...
