Timothy is done with the City and has escaped his past life to the countryside. But where there are no vampires, there are elves. While the Forest magic is foreign to him, so is he himself. Not a vampire, not a mortal man and maybe not welcome either, he now needs to pick his way in an oddly green world where the rules of remembering can be bent in extraordinary ways.And while Timothy has moved out of the Capital, his sister has moved back in. Obsessed with a chain of messages she can't remember, Mimosa slowly seeks what is hidden in the dark corners of her mind, moving all the time a bit further away from her home parish.…
In the modern day Atlantis, a university professor prepares for a lonely New Year's celebration. She is caught between despising her aging father and missing a long lost twin brother, trying her best to stay calm and collected in her loneliness.And her brother would like nothing better than to keep her company. Yet that is not so easy for those already many decades dead. While not quite a ghost, Plume finds himself in a complicated position, as he now belongs with those whose touch is as cold as the slowly falling snow.A stand alone short story based on the Characters of my ongoing story Immortal Memory.(I take the full credit for images as well. Made with Krita, an excellent alternative for Photoshop)…
A few dark sabbatical years between university studies mark the past of Timothy, who has a few more memories, of a few more things, than he knows what to do with. He is now trying to restart a study path already once forsaken, in a human life that isn't quite his. A young man in a fragile human body, with a vampire's soul.With the start of a new academic year, he finds old acquaintances and new friends.Clover is a witch, with her magical powers equaling those of an oven glove. And she suspects one of their friends to be possessed by a demon. Lavender however is blissfully oblivious of her friend's suspicions and thinks she is losing her mind with vivid nightmares and huge gaps in her memory.Valentina, meanwhile, would be happy with just one recovered memory. She would love to know how she became tattooed, or even just what the Chinese character on her ankle means. But, as some of her friends know, the price of that one memory might be set higher than she is willing to pay.(There are some ethically interesting choices from the main characters, thus the mature rating. But nothing graficly shocking should be included, just a couple of murders discussed that could absolutely not be avoided.)(All characters are strictly fictional. I feel this should be highlighted, for while inspiration is always tied to the outer world, imagination composes a story out of it and colors the outcome with dreams and nightmares.)(I am a visula artist/illustrator when I am not writing. All images are made by me using the free design softwares Krita and Blender.)…
