The Girl and the Rain The nameless girl had always loved the rain. She loved the rain during those late winter afternoons, when she sat down in the lit kitchen, her mother’s glowing smile from across the table driving all the fears away and her soft caring hands caressing her, telling her, in their own secret wordless language, that their […]
The Unknown White On that day came the unknown White. It was just another Mediterranean afternoon. Only a few days before that, the majestic sun shone brightly, sending its God-sent light to the rain-craving soil below. The familiar dry warm wind danced above the land, hopping from tree to tree, from head to head, reminding all that autumn […]
Morning You were waiting all night long for the morning to come. It will all be better once it’s morning, you told yourself. You stood there, wrapped in your blanket, and stared at the sleeping darkness outside through the closed window. The moon tried to send you one of its comforting smiles, reaching out its soft […]
Blossoms of Estrangement Click-clack. Click-clack. Hundreds, no thousands of hurrying feet walk the gray streets of the restless city. Together yet always alone, they march on the cold pavement. And they never stop, the people. Why should they?
The Land of Broken Things And in the last few years it seems as if everything had changed and nothing would ever be as it was. The silent nights have grown longer, darker, emptier. And the darkness.

The One-Sided Story of the One-Sided Girl This is a one-sided story of a one-sided girl, living a one-sided life, and awaiting a one-sided death. Nobody knows she is one-sided. To them, to the world, she is Leah – just another pretty brunette who looks and talks like a million others. If only it were true, though.
היום בו הדלת נותרה סגורה הכל השתנה ביום הולדתו התשיעי של תום. עד אז, היו שניהם בלתי ניתנים להפרדה. כמו שני אחים, כמו שני תאומים סיאמיים התלויים זה בזה היו. לא היה לילה בו לא ישנו יחדיו באותו החדר. הם שיתפו זה את זה בכל שעבר עליהם במהלך היום וחיכו בקוצר רוח לעתיד הנפלא שהמתין להם בשקיקה בקצה השני של […]
