Preview:My new story entitled 'Felicity'

So here's the first preview:

It all started last night. Heaving a sigh of relief, with sleep in my eyes I crawled inside the blanket, the house wrapped in silence. Mom's bloody body was in the drawing room, my dog's head in the oven and dad was tied at the bottom of the pool. I lay the knife I had used to stab mom five times in the neck on the bed stead and slept soundly.

It was there in my sleep amidst the grotesque shapes and familiar faces that I first met her, Cira. I wouldn't daresay her her my doppleganger, for they are evil in the folklore. She was sweet. Her gentleness surprised me for in my world I had become accustomed to hateful glances I received everyday. And after what I had done tonight I wouldn't be God's lovely child no more.

It was strange how before last night I had never been able to remember my dreams with every detail before. But a break from my world was what I always wanted, even in something as trivial as dreaming.
