Drifting
by Nina D’Arcangela

Shallow drifting on purple dreams, sliding into deeper shadows.

My hair spread about me like a crown on the water. Your eyes glittering in the moonlight as you look down. My hand reaches, caresses; you nuzzle my shimmering wing. Warm, loving, caring; the sweetness tinges our midnight breeze.

Your gaze steady, hand pressing gently upon my throat. Sound muffles. Wavering visions of you as tears fall in silence.  A final sigh. My hair feathers like an ethereal halo. Your eyes steadfast as they gently cup our sorrow.

Shallow drifting on purple dreams, sliding into deeper shadows.

Mental Ward: EXPERIMENTS

A dank basement, shadow filled hallways, the deep echo of a metal latch being thrown while faint screams are heard… These are the things you might experience in a place where the unspeakable happens, where conscientious action and moral turpitude turn a blind eye in the interest of advancing one’s own personal pursuits in the most deranged and unjustifiable manner. The type of place where power corrupts, and depravity runs rampant among those imbued with it. A place where the unfortunate are abandoned to the devices of those who convince themselves their actions are in the best interest of science.

Mental Ward: Experiments is a collection of ten short stories that demonstrate the worst of humanity’s ambition in the interest of ‘civilized’ advancement. Step into a world where sanity is left behind, and horror is what the doctor ordered!
