I am a writer, filmmaker, agony aunt and wannabe world traveler. I spend most of my time looking out the window trying to get inspired and when I am not doing that, I write a bit. My hobbies include making Photoshop graphics, screenwriting, filmmaking, over-analysing the things I write, thinking about taking long walks on the beach, trying to get paid for the stuff I write and eating lots of junk food. I try to be funny but I'm really not, I mostly end up writing about angst and suicide. My favourite genre to read is comedy and fantasy-adventure. My favourite genre to write is adventure and drama.

My Winter

One day, he remembers what he has lost. And suddenly, his life, his goals and his sins don't matter. The only thing that remains is a feeling of coldness in his heart. Because his winter has begun.    The thing about doctors is that they are not supposed to exist. They are here to save…
