Julie And The Phantoms Edge Of Great Novels & Stories

Salvatore Villa – Julian’s Bedroom Julian's eyes snapped open, his chest heaving as he struggled to catch his breath. Another nightmare, his constant companion over the past twelve years, haunting his every waking moment. They all spoke the same message. Revenge. Impending danger. And the haunting past. But this time, there was something different. He saw a figure, shrouded in shadows, with a face that refused to take shape. He couldn't fathom if it's a male or female. Julian's mind recoiled from the memory, his thoughts fragmenting like shards of broken glass.

Sometimes it's hard to give up those shoes, God knows they look good on you and despite it all I like being told I look good, never mind each unbearable step I take. Eve. I fell for a ghost once, a pale 16-year-old with red hair and ocean eyes that dimmed as time went by. Her cheeks were stained by tears, her eyes so dry. The make-up hid most of the teardrops but failed to account for all. Her name was Jules, behind the smile was a beautiful mess. An admirable piece of art. Julia excelled in academics, so did I. Her intelligence stood toe to toe with her physical appearance. She was gorgeous and well aware of her beauty.

If he let this keep up, Jeanette might kill her. He quickly yanked Jeanette away, who screamed, “Where is my mom!? Give her back! Give her back!” Juliana’s hands went around her neck as she sputtered violently. Beet red prints clung to her skin where Jeanette’s fingers had taken off, but Juliana’s head went lopsided, and she fell back onto her bed, guffawing. “You’re too late! Even giving up your inheritance won’t save her!” “What did you say?”

But it wasn’t Darina. Julie stood there, extremely pale, wearing tiny pyjama shorts and a thin camisole. Her eyes were wide, haunted, and rimmed with sleepless shadows. “Can you hold me, please?” she whispered, voice cracking. “When I close my eyes… I see the dungeon walls. I hear the chains. I keep expecting someone to drag me back there. Every rustle makes me jump.” Kai’s throat tightened. She looked so fragile and tense. And he nodded.

she whispered and smiled happily. “Mon amour, you gave me the entire Universe. Tonight, I’m going to take you to the edge of Heaven. Again, and again.’ And that was all that needed to be said. - THE END -

“You should compute that he doesn’t want you. They are forcing you on him.” Mila didn't want to be generous or take things easy with any of them anymore. She turned to Anya. “I am sure your ear and eye are still functioning. If you don’t witness, don’t you listen?” “Hear what?” Anya asked. “The news,” she responded. “Oh, I forgot they gave me your can in the morning, so you won’t figure out what’s trending today.” “Which can?” Anya was confused. “Your phone, of course.” She smiled and flung the phone at Anya’s chest.

Julie walked toward the ladies’ room, her heels clicking on the highly polished granite floor. She didn’t get away fast enough and caught their host say to Michael. “I expected you to bring Ms. Cain with you. Didn’t she move in with you after you left that one on the curb like yesterday’s trash? I could have sworn she signed divorce documents at your anniversary party a few weeks ago.” Edward Phillips crossed the line clearly. Julie's warning prevented Michael from overlooking it. But now he saw, clear as day, what Julie dealt with alone.

Claire said to wide-eyed Julie. “No more. It’s too much. I can’t accept any more shocks.” Julie said, holding her heart. She had only gotten used to the babies being held in her arms; now, they were already walking and talking. “What? There are more, isn’t there? Oh God, what a day. I need a drink before we continue.” Julie rose from her seat and entered the kitchen; she was getting a bottle of wine from the sound of it. She shortly emerged with the open wine bottle in hand and, before sitting down, chugged a large amount straight from the source, placing the bottle on the coffee table.

“My dear, love is like gambling. Sometimes the sure odds are the ones that disappoint the most. But don’t be discouraged baby, you’ve lots of potentials any responsible guy would want in a woman. So take the risk. You never can tell, he might just be the one created for you. You gotta act fast, before some other lady does.” Julie cleaved to her mum in a hug. A beep on Julie’s phone then revived her mum’s consciousness. “Please what’s the time?” “It’s 10:15 am.” “Oops!” Lucy widened her eyes. “I gotta run to the boutique. See you later.” She kissed Julie on her forehead before moving out of the room with the tray on both hands as she left. *** The sun had gone down, leaving only a dark-grey w
