Desire

She.

She was drawn to him like a vampire drawn to it's victim. Clinging on to him for her very life's breathe.  She the empty one, broken and torn; he her lifeblood.  Her empty heart was dull, cold and numb, lacking in emotion, a heavy weight pressing against her lungs.  Holding onto him made her heart beat again, it provided her the ability to feel once more.  Life flowed from him into her and she regained consciousness.

His dynamism, his enthusiasm, humour and energy were intoxicating and he used his charm to full effect to pull her closer to him, so that she would become an obsessive lover, lost in him only and with no thought of any other being in the world.

He.

He was inexplicably attracted to his new lover.  Her existence relied on him, her life in his hands, extinguishable in a single second. He loved to be needed, to be wanted and to be her life giving deity; her dark angel filling her hollow heart in fleeting moments.

Yet he prowled the dark seeking the familiarity and passion of his old lover.  He was unable to dispel his need for her energy and the power she had over him.  She was his dark angel, giving his life purpose and driving him to succeed, his muse and his obsession.

He lay straddled between two worlds; crumbling under the worship he received from the new and unable to remove himself from his altar to the old.

Elanur and Murat Part 2

Elanur, accompanied by Hafsah, her lady in waiting, arrived at the palace and was seated in one of the outer rooms near the harem. It was a beautiful room decorated with mirrored mosaics and silver tiles.  The cushions and seats were of white and cream velvet, trimmed with golden brocades. Hafsah stared in amazement, her eyes sparkling with excitement.  Elanur too was taken aback by the beauty of this guest room, and wondered what the inner rooms of the palace looked like. ‘Who are you and what do you seek?’ They were asked by the palace servant who came to meet their carriage on arrival. Hafsah had answered for her.  “This is Elanur. Please tell the Sultan her ladyship Elanur is here to meet him.”  Hafsah passed a note, handwritten by Ela, to the servant who nodded and bowed towards Elanur. Ela hoped her note would reach Murat swiftly and she could see him soon. “Please tell your ladyship to come this way,” Hafsah was told by the servant of the palace. They were the...

Confessions of Carol

Carol was the best.  She was already a manager and by the end of the year she was going to be a senior manager.  She knew it would happen. She was brilliant at her job, kind to her staff, smart, funny, charismatic. An all round alpha.  Nothing was going to stop her from reaching the top. She put on a second layer of red lipstick, swept up her long blond stresses into a bun and walked into the office. She might be obviously confident and outgoing but she was careful to act a little unsure at times, so that she could fit in with the rest of them and she was especially careful to be sweet. None of them, the others in the office, could know what she really thought.  It would break the spell.  They loved her. They all clambered around to please her and each one thought she was their favorite. That was how she made people feel. Carol gave each of her colleagues such special attention, be that guidance on love, career, finances or advice on dealing with delicate issu...

The Baron and I

Julfa followed the students and reminded everyone to take their belongings.  Once the last student had walked off, she placed her suitcase on the grass and went back on the coach.  She thanked the driver and turned around for a last glance when she noticed a backpack. One of the students must have forgotten it she thought, wondering how they had managed to leave behind such a huge item without realising it was missing!  Walking back she grabbed the backpack, lifted it up and realised the cursed thing was heavier than she had expected. Julfa determined she would have to take it since all the students had already gone inside the activity centre, and the coach needed to be emptied so that the driver could leave.  She grabbed the bag with both hands and heaved. Slowly she staggered towards the entrance of the coach. If only the coach driver could see her struggle and help but no he was busy eating an apple and reading his newspaper. She lifted the strap of her own side b...
