An Adventure in Parga...

[...] It is strange that sometimes a simple everyday moment can become the beginning of the end for everything we consider as a fact...

[...] Our opinion about the people we know for years, our family friends, even for our self, can change in a moment...

 (from the book "An Adventure in Parga", by James Antoniou 2017)

Nereids

...He saw hands trying to grab the wood of the handrail, hands thin but frightening, covered with blue scales instead of skin. 

...Long dark repulsively nails protruding from their fingertips ... 

[...] “His daughters”, he said to him. “We are saved”...

Looking around scared...

Natalia stood in front of the big balcony door. The view was lovely ...

The living room was looking in an unkempt but green garden...

[...] A noise sounded from somewhere under the house ... 

She turned her face and started looking around scared to find the source of the noise. [...] She felt her fear growing, felt the pulse of her hurt going up...

(from the book "The House" , by James Antoniou)

The Forest

The light was hardly passing through the leaves of the trees, just to fall and disappear into the ground... 

[...] The voice of his uneducated and faithful to prejudices grandmother, sounded into his head. 

 

"Never, ever go in the forest! He will never let you find your way back home."...

(from the book "The Forest" , by James Antoniou)
