Edmond by Dolores Esteban Dedicated to I. Besançon, France, November 1804. He walked into my room and caught me in the act. I didn’t know how he had gotten into the house. It was not the first time he had entered it without being invited. I lived there with my mother and only a few servants. He found a way to sneak into the house. He knew it well from his previous stay a few years ago, when we had been intimate friends. I was sure to be alone in the house. T

Peter Abelard (A Man’s Turmoil) by Dolores Esteban France, 1118. Gilles de Cyenville dismounted his horse. He sighed and he straightened briefly.

A man in his forties and with eloquent manners, Gilles de Cyenville suddenly felt very awkward. He took his leather gloves off and he wiped his forehead. Gilles had b -

Listen To Your Heartby Dolores Esteban The dinner I had been invited to on Saturday evening had been a nuisance. When I awoke on Sunday morning, I still felt angry. With a frown, I looked out of the window. I decided to go for a walk. I needed to sort things out. Wrapped in a thick coat, I left the house. The weather was bad. It was cold and foggy. It was raining slightly. Autumn. I walked down the streets of Paris. Many of the buildings were old and needed mending or paint

Total Recallby Dolores Esteban I turned my head to him slightly. I looked into his eyes. His dark brown eyes drew me in. And so did his voice. He spoke to me almost gently. I relaxed on the divan. My head sank deeper into the cushions. I felt comfortable. His voice soothed my mind. My disquieting thoughts disappeared. I almost drifted to sleep. I felt comfortably numb. ~~**~~ I opened my eyes. I yawned. I turned my head to him slightly.

Winter Roseby Dolores Esteban "We are food for worms, lads. Believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die. That’s what it’s all about,” Master Edward said angrily when fourteen-year-old George had tried in vain to translate and interpret a sentence from a poem by Horace. “Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero!” Master Edward continued repeating in a loud and accentuated voice while pacing the classroom and point

Amnesia by Dolores Esteban Inspector Graves wiped the sweat from his forehead as he walked down the path to the big entrance of the mansion. The sun was high. It was a hot summer day in August 1903. It had not rained for days. A bee was humming close to Graves’ ear. The inspector angrily waved away the insect. Graves looked right and left. Rosebushes lined the path. Yet the leaves were dry. The plants needed water. Graves approached the entrance and rang the bell. A minute or two

She's Not What She Seems by Dolores Esteban We were sitting on the stairs in front of the club, looking into the distance. 5 am. Day was already dawning. “Why, Natalie?” “Why? I love it. I like it. I do enjoy it. It’s a game. A game I cannot stop to play. I sit and I watch them. I watch their eyes. I control this game. They are not aware, but I am. I return their looks when I decide that I want to.” “A guy usually comes over to invite me for a drink. I just sit a
