The Others – Thirty One

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Helen

I snorted at Gabriel, incredulous. In the first moment his proposition seemed too ridiculous to take seriously. I guess most insanely evil things do seem that way at first. “What are you suggesting, some sort of Assassins R Us?” Gabriel … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty Eight

Posted on November 20, 2015 by Helen

  The first shot is of Gabriel and Natalie waving hello to me, excited like children. They looked about ten years old in that moment, like little demon seeds on acid. But they were beautiful of course and completely irresistible. … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty Seven

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Helen

  Part of what they propose? “Go on,” I said, because I had nothing else to say at the time. Natalie had rested her head on my shoulder. It was so close to something completely impossible that I wanted anyway … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty Four

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Helen

Who’d have thought I’d belong with such as these? If, indeed, I did. “And you Peter?” Gabriel said, once she had finished. We had finished our lunch and were left drinking champagne, feeling a bit light-headed and free, “How did … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty-Three

Posted on October 15, 2015 by Helen

I suppose this must have been an amazing moment for them. For all I knew neither of them had met another of their kind, even unrecognized, given how difficult it seemed. Beyond this, they might be the only ones of … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty-Two

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Helen

For a moment I stood, the alien to these two glittering creatures, feeling partly like an ignorant fool and partly like a hero in a myth who had united an ancient king and queen who were separated by a curse. … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty-One

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Helen

Natalie was both excited and a bit frightened. So was I. We sat, calming each other and buoying each other up in the interminable taxi trip to Gabriel’s home. He lived in Surry Hills, in the penthouse apartment of a … Continue reading →

The Others – Twenty

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Helen

I didn’t have to wait long. Friday night I was settling to watch a DVD I’d rented, with a beer by my side and a packet of chips, when the phone rang. I checked the caller ID before I answered … Continue reading →

The Others – Nineteen

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Helen

The issue was how to make contact with the enigmatic Gabriel. I intuited that this could be even more difficult than it had been to talk with Natalie at the club, for similar reasons, but magnified because I half suspected … Continue reading →

The Others – Eighteen

Posted on September 10, 2015 by Helen

On the screen a further mystery unfolded. Natalie had turned to look at the man and he had turned from his companion to look at her. They stood for one instant, one regarding the other, no awareness of or focus … Continue reading →
