Mom’s secret ingredient
When I was a child, we used to move a lot because of my mom. I hated it. By the time I had learnt my classmates’ names, she would take the suitcases out from the closet and announce: I sold a new book! We need to move. Father had no trouble with it. He stays…

When wolf
«It can’t be» «No, no, no, no» . Thought the werewolf Raymond. This was fundamentally wrong. This time travel was so horribly stuck he had to do something. Anything. He was, again, reliving the exact moment his transformation had scared his girl… Now ex? How could he know if they were still an item, if…
