The Veil Of Faith And Destiny

where we still believe in painting our walls in a certain colour according to the direction in which it faces. Well, painting has become a luxury for us at this moment. The

a man I have not seen in my entire life but somehow he is now my husband. But as the time passes these thoughts get more and more practical. Anything and anywhere is better than this place, a place filled with nothing but my own tears and blood . If the walls could talk they would sing about my pain and sufferings, my daily struggle of trying to keep myself alive and in one piece. Mother and father never touched my face though, they always talked about how hard it would be for them to get paid if my face was disfigured. For a long, long time I thought my life would get much easier if my face

A black to navy gradient was the backdrop for a full moon; the night sky was clear, I could almost see every

door. I fell back on my bed and rest my head on the pillow, shutting my eyes I took a deep breath. The loud sound of the clock jolted me awake. I looked around, the house felt dead silent. Darkness filled the room and the only light was the one shining moon. I pulled out a small lamp and lit it. I pulled out a long cape and covered myself. I slowly walked out my room and to the main door. I opened it and crept out locking the door behind me. The street was empty, completely deserted. I could hear dogs barking and animals howling. I pulled my hood over my head and w

I found myself face to face with a tall slender woman, her skin was as pale as snow, her flesh decaying on her face, neck and arms displaying the bones underneath. Her eyes were large and completely black,

then carried it to the small hut that stood in the center. I pushed open the door and locked around, everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. As I took a step in, the floorboards cracked under my feet. I walked into what seemed like a living room and spotted a fireplace on top of which hung a huge portrait. I turned my head and saw a huge dresser sitting in front of it. I placed my lamp on it's foot and looked closer. The wind wiped across my face as I brushed my fingers against the surface of the mirror. I leaned in closer and looked at myself squarely in the mirror. I know you belong somewhere. I know there's more to you than this. A voice whisper
