I’ve just finished writing the first draft of my new Gothic horror short story ‘The Fall’. I’ve sent a copy to an Alpha reader who agreed to help me the editing process. It will take a while before this story will be available as a free download on here. For now I’d like to share something as a teaser of what’s to come. Here are opening lines:

“One cold, stormy night after a long day delivering messages of the recently deceased souls destined for Hell, Azrael, the black-winged seraph more commonly known as Messenger of Death, landed on a cloud outside the golden gates of the Sky Palace. Exhausted, she stepped towards the large gate, clutched on to the bars and yawned while waiting for Heaven’s guard to open the doors.“

I also used the AI tool Freepik to create another image of my protagonist Azrael, The Messenger of Death. This time she has small black wings covering her eyes. Check it out:
