In the last episode in these series, I promised to share my thoughts on the possible reasons of my obsession with death and dying. Here goes the first post. But be warned!

Tide Goddess
When the skies will tear the Earth’s guts out of her dying body, the time will come for the Tide Goddess to ride on a wave of blood and ice.

This was going to be a … Continue reading Lost Oryx
How I Didn’t Die of Heart Failure
Shame on me and my overly ambitious plans. How long has it been since the previous episode of these gruesome series? Two months, maybe three? However long it was, I'm way beyond schedule. Sorry about that. I've been busy with life, and also writing a book (I'll tell you more about that some other time). … Continue reading How I Didn’t Die of Heart Failure
