Hi there. It's that time of year again, Valentine's Day, when lovers fan the flames of their passion, Chocolatiers make a fortune, and gift store owners believe in God.
For all the rest who are either unlucky in love or just smart enough to brush off this holiday as just another excuse for stores worldwide to cash in on sentimentality and shaky relationships that need melted chocolate to hold them together (I know that sounds very bitter, well it is), there are other ways to enjoy this day. For example, reading a book or even better, a short story with a timely theme. And that's where I come in.
So I present to you my new short story, COLD. It's a story about love, death, and the coldness in between. It is about a man who meets a woman and then...well you have to read it for yourself to find out. Let's just say, things get chilly.
But if I can be serious for just a moment, I have to say that I love this story. I wrote it a while back, when the idea for it hit me for no apparent reason and I wrote it down in a style (first-person) that up to that point I hadn't used before. Its theme was also something new to me. It is dark, romantic in a twisted way, and above all, haunting. At least I like to think so.
And since this is Valentine's Day after all, the holiday that originated from the story of Saint Valentine, who after being shunned by his loved one cut out his beating heart and sent it to her (now you know where the idea for those Heart-Shaped candy boxes came from), there is no better time to share with you this very dark tale about love. Happy Valentine's Day.
