THE DARK KNIGHTS PASSION AND FIRE

from the hustle and bustle of city life and work stress, although on this occasion Mj could not particularly say that he was happy, the events that led to his return to Little Borough was an unpl

s night, he could never have thought Shirley would do that to him, shatter his fragile heart to a million pieces, she looked like an angel but had the heart of the devil. His heart raced as he felt her caress, her gentle touch and soft lips on his cheek, then he felt a sweet r

amiliar sign with the inscription 6.2 Miles to Little Borough, he started the car and drove gently taking the right turn and then accelerated as he drove towards the town, passing through High Mountain and dark forest he could already feel the calmness of his beloved Little Borough, he could smell pine cones and the rustic smell of dying leaves. He inhaled deeply and felt at ease once more. After driving for about thirty minutes Mj could see the rooftops of the houses in Little Borough, smoked drifted from chimneys and he could hear the chime of church bells as ancient as the little town. He sped down the mountain side as he entered the town and gradually turned left to a narrow road with the sign post MACSTEREEN MANOR, he knew the grounds of his fam

Laura walked slowly wishing her home was a bit farther, she enjoyed her walk and the opportunity to wish her thoughts upon the stairs, she was too preoccupied with her thoughts she did not see the hooded figure coming towards her, the figure was so tall Laura looked like a small women being close to it despite the fact that Laura was tall herself with long legs that went on and on forever; they collided into each other and the smart phone the figure held crashed to the ground just as Laura staggered and fell too. For a moment the night became still, Laura was truly frightened, who could it be at this hour? She did not expect to see anyone in the street by this time.
