“The Pass” I don’t know how long I stared at it before my brain kicked into gear again. By that time the plane was already airborne, the seat belt sign had blinked off, and the cabin was filled with the hum of the engines and usual noises accompanying an international flight. I grabbed—actually grabbed—the wrist…
Read more“The Cruise”
“The Cruise” I don’t know where this question would have led me had it not been for another absorbing matter. The price chart of the biotech stock I had been watching formed a pattern that indicated a “strong buy,” and I made a sizeable bet. A few weeks later, the company announced the discovery of…

“Molly and Self-Importance” Where had she been this entire time, you may ask, having grown tired of waiting for her demonically beautiful face to appear (I bet seeing it would take your breath away). Well, this entire time she was within arm’s length yet unreachable. After AC, our education continued in the US: I ended…
Read more“Epiphany”
“Epiphany” When I got home, I made a cup of tea and sat in a leather armchair, leaning as far back as its soft cavity allowed and relaxing every muscle of my body.

“Rules of Attraction” Wanna know the main problem of a guy who is too fastidious about women? It is rare that he wants to fuck anyone, even when he wants to fuck a lot, but when he does meet someone he wants to fuck, he loses his mind. All that other women have not received…
Read more“In The Waiting Lounge”
“In The Waiting Lounge” Suddenly the air, smelling like a mixture of still-sanguine hopes, instant gratification, and the exorbitant price paid therefor, was stirred by a vague feeling that brought me back to the present. For the last thirty minutes, I had been submerged in my laptop, typing this novel. In the waiting lounge, I…

“Martina and I at Atlantic” Anybody still here? You must be waiting to learn about the common denominator, that invisible glue pervading the atmosphere we share on Earth? My advice is: don’t think about it and, God forbid, don’t try to guess what it is. You won’t—not because you can’t, but because the correct answer…
Read more“Abstract Intro”
“Abstract Intro” Do you know what it is to be God? To know what no one else knows? To see what’s hidden from everyone? To anticipate what others won’t feel even post factum? It’s devilishly hilarious. So much so that nothing more hilarious exists. Planets orbit stars, but they think they only rotate around themselves….
