    About this ebook

    Nima the Enigma is a tragic, powerful tale of love told through cultivating and haunting imaginations of a humble entity. When Nima discovers that his wife has done something terrible, he ploys to save her from her tragic fate in the form of a spirit by finding her long lost spirit so he can reconcile with her. In Alex R. Encomienda's first short story, words take a deeper approach to make you truly understand what it means to be in love. Often using themes of escapism, good and evil, heroism and eternity in his stories, Alex's words never cease to hit close to home.

      Nima the Enigma - Alex R. Encomienda

      Nima the Enigma by Alex R. Encomienda

      The beginning of fall landed on a Sunday, our wedding day. Sati was dressed in the beautiful colors of blue and green with her dark hair in cotton flowering and the waistline dragged an eloquent wave I loved. She remembered the poem I wrote to her the night before and after the ceremony, she recited it to me. I looked at her and I felt weak, but I felt withheld and steady as can be. Nobody has that effect on me. Nobody but her…

      The life I’ve chosen and the life I hold is a selfish one indeed, but a life worth living. The only thing I live for is the faith I have in Sati. She doesn’t know it, no she has no idea how much she is to me and how much I will suffer for her. She carries so much of my power and energy and she is the center for all of my actions and thoughts but she doesn’t know it.

      It started in a lucid dream one night in her arms, the power. I was in a deep garden that sunk at the edges into rivers that surrounded me. I heard a scream that sounded like Sati’s voice so I ran as fast as I can, and when I saw her, she was all soaked and drenched in water and she was speaking to a man in a burgundy overcoat who, still to this day, is a mystery to me.

      Before I was able to speak to her, something odd happened- I went into this state of being where I was able to see my mother and father and even my old friends from high school and grad school. It was almost like I was an entity or spirit of some sort and was able to see in lines and patterns through forces and spirals. I was in some form of travel I’ve never heard of and never knew in my lifetime that I would experience it, but it was real and I was in control.

      Love that was loosening, tightening, gripping from every relationship I’ve had in the past to the times I sat in my room and over thought simple things, this form I hold unto dearly showed me the truths. What then, if all I have is the power I claim over others? People who have no idea, people like Sati, would they betray me as a man of evil? I wonder so; would they throw me into the chamber like a
