Unbreakable Curse – Part 12 – Final Chapter When Ed woke up in the morning, he could feel something strange in the air. He tried to call for Maggie but got no answer. It wasn’t the first time she hadn’t shown herself, but this time – after what had happened the night before – it […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 11 “I love you,” she said, sliding down her shoulders the strips of the nightgown that was still cladding her body. Edward, lying on the bed, felt a shiver down his spine. Even if the day hadn’t been that good, the evening was feeling promising, already. Their Sunday had been strange: […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 10 Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong The previous time Ed had been in Mrs Turner apartment he hadn’t had to ring the bell, and so the old-style bells played by a speaker close to the door – a strange touch of modernity in what was otherwise a building with an overwhelming stench of oldness […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 9 “I believe you, and I’ll need your help!” His confession, the evening before, had created the effect he had hoped.

Unbreakable Curse – Part 5 After the events of that night, for a couple of days, Edward felt strangely satisfied, and as such nothing happened. Ten days passed, and his life took over, again. Rose was still in his thoughts, but at work, he had too many things to do, and no time to […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 4 The next day Maggie didn’t appear until evening. While working, while travelling on the bus and while having meetings, though, Ed couldn’t get the ghost out of his head. He knew she was there, he knew she was listening to him, watching over him. He had problems even going to […]
Unbreakable Curse – Part 3 “What the f-” Ed jumped up from the toilet seat, opened the door and turned around to look.
