“The last letter of the alien” By C. Wain


I feel the waves in my ears, as on my cheeks roll tears. They tell me pain is sour… I try… But I taste the salt as I cry. Alien amongst aliens. I feel better with the outcasted wretched when I eat my kin’s bread. The horses of death were four. In my nightmares, I have met them all. Please, tell me someone will choose me, for I badly need someone to love me. So, I end it here in a pang. The aliens are coming as they hear the bang

Thank you + Updates

With this post I simply want to convey a big thank you to all my readers and especially to those who took the time to give me a precious feedback/review on my first book "A Prayer for the necromancer". I don't put a like to comments nor do I comment on them, and that is not because I don't read them, but because I want to keep my mind open to both supportive feedback as well as the constructive-low rating reviews. But, I do read every review and I must admit that, with the risk of sounding cheesy, when I read the positive effect that my story had on a person, my heart fills with immense joy and gratitude. My dream is to write and when people tell me what they feel about my book – especially when they write that my words make them ponder and reflect on certain scenes - I am very happy. Having said that, I have a couple of news I wish to share here on my blog. First, I have taken to heart the constructive criticisms of my book which praised the story line but at ...

DYSTOPIA - A short story

DYSTOPIA By C. Wain (Patamu Registry number: 72695)   I am a ruined man. Disfigured… my features quite lost, for I shall never feel warmth again. I've never loved anyone nor was I loved by my kin, until I met that… that… argh, the words won’t exit my mind and transfix into this mouldy scrap of paper, no matter how hard I hold this metal pen of mine. My hands tremble as sorrowful memories fill my feeble mind and weaken my trembling spirit. It is too late for ease of mind, I know, for now I have lost everything. My life… my life I swear for the ability of sight to overpass this accursed world and behold the ethereal. To glimpse but for an instant, at her artificial smile once again. May you, stranger, and yet my single and most revered listener, forgive me for my frantic writing. But I cannot help it.  Oh, woe! A reject amongst the mindless, indifferent crowd surrounding me. It was on a night like this that our first meeting took place. As the thunder slashed open...

A One-shot story By C. Wain

Chordectomy by C. Wain “Lus, I fear this is the last time I shall hear your kind voice. It is not right, you know…” “I know, Bethany. But, it is the way of the world.” “Then, the world is cruel and it sure does not deserve someone like you. To think you shall become a servant to those… to those cruel humans. I can’t bear it,” slowly stuttered the teen she-orc, bursting into tears as she leapt into the warm arms of her loving companion. “Don’t’ worry. You se-” “They will cut your vocal cords! How can I not worry!” The despair-filled cry of the loving she-orc sent a fit of pain right through Lus’ heart. “Mph, you have always been such a kind being. So unfit to live in this terribly insane world. You must not worry. I am ready for this. For all its worth, I have prepared my whole life for this moment. So, wipe that sad look off your beautiful face and show me your smile one last time”, warmly spoke the young orc as he cleaned the smooth skin of Bethany from the overflowing ...
