Beating Heart #4



"I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. My mind finally gets some peace. This feels great. My pain isn't completely gone, but it's hurting less.

Was I wrong? Can I really be healed?

This music sure has a calming effect on me. It's been a while since I could see everything so clear. Wait a second.... That's.... A radio?"

He slowly opened his eyes.
"Ceiling... Wall.... HUMAN?! I need to get out of here A.S.A.P! Before sh-" The girl came closer. "Too late. She spotted me."

"Are you hungry? I made you a meal. Do you want some water?" she shifted the plate a bit more to his side."If she went through all the trouble making me a meal, it would be rude to refuse", he thought. The boy reached out for the food and started to eat."Do you like it?", she stared at him with her big blue eyes. He nodded.
"I'm Roxanne. What's your name?" He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"You can't speak, hmm. I've found you while it was raining, but 'Rain' sounds too much like a girl's name... What about I'll call you 'Storm'? Deal?"

He smiled."Then Storm it is."

Beating Heart #7

"That was Benedict." The girl's hair jumped up with excitement. "He's the best detective in the whole wide world! One day, I'll be as good as he," she dreamed out loud. "I still need to learn a lot, though." "A detective? Why was I at a detective's place back then?" It didn't matter how hard he tried, all Storm remembered was that faceless shadow and that photograph... "Why do I feel I've forgotten something important?" He wanted to ask Roxanne about it, but she didn't act like they'd already met: why would she call him 'Storm', if she knew his real name? The old man is the only one who holds the key to this mystery. "I'll wait untill he comes back." "Do you like it?" Roxanne interrupted his train of thoughts. "Wait? What?" The boy hadn't got a clue what she just asked. Seeing his confused face, the girl repeated the question: "I'm going t...

Counting the Stars

Source A dream so vivid when I woke up seems now so far away. How does a memory fade so easily? A voice, a touch, a smile… It all gets blurry so fast. You can try grabbing the moment, holding it closely in your arms and cherish it, but it will slip through your fingers, stretch its wings and fly away when you don’t pay attention for a second. That’s what moments do. They don’t last an eternity. They’re meant to leave. Instead of convulsively clinging on faded memories you should better focus on the present and cease the day. If you’re lucky your brain won’t delete the whole memory afterwards and if you’re not so lucky… Well, at least you’ve been happy for a while. That’s all what counts at the end anyway: being happy and living your life as you want. You might even end up changing someone else’s life for the good. Or for the bad if you prefer being a bad guy, I don’t judge.  Just remember to be happy. No regrets, never forget and smile. A smile smoothens the pain of ...

Beating Heart #8

Storm's dream started off sweet, but soon turned into a nightmare. The faceless shadow haunted him. It finally revealed its true colours. The background turned scarlet. The dark figure rose up. Its eyes were filled with hatered. The shadow held the photograph in its hand. When Storm tried to reach out for it, he fell down a black hole. Suddenly bullets flew past him. A bom exploded nearby. Body parts were raining from the sky. Little Storm was drenched in blood, surrounded by corpses. Five of them had been decapitated and put on for display. The boy stared into their lifeless eyes. Storm woke up, bathed in sweat. "I need to see that picture. Now!" But how could he ever explain Roxanne he knew where that photograph was? How could he explain her why he needed to see it? All he had, were some vague memories, a terrible feeling and a bad dream. He could wait for the old man to come back, just like he first planned. The boy was way too curious, though. And after that...
