    About this ebook

    Always a bit scary. Life after death. You either believe in it, or you don't. That's up to you. Or...is it? A story about the bond between a grandmother and her grandchild. A bond they never had until grandma passed away...

    Eduard Meinema

    "I love writing into the dark; like to be surprised by the characters scavenging through my own stories. Just before things are getting familiar; when I think, or at least believe, to know where a new story is going to, I give it a twist and make my readers (and myself) wonder... how the hell is this going to end?"WORDS and VISIONEduard Meinema is writer and visual artist. He writes in an exciting and humorous style. Creates intense, passionate and mysterious stories filled with unexpected twists which will seduce anyone to finish reading at full speed. Beside his full length novels, Eduard is fond of writing Flash Fiction and Short Stories. All of these 'Twisted Tales' are published as stand alone eBooks in the series 'Flash & Shorts'.Meinema's works of art include so called 'lyric abstract' paintings. Expressionistic works made of Acrylics and Sand. But also Pop-art, including characters known as 'Skredches' (Yes! There is a blog:check out the official site to find blog feeds!!) and...fish paintings. As Meinema says: "Ah! I love fish. Love to see them. Love to keep them. Breed them, paint them, eat them... (ouch, sorry for that...). Oh yeah, I love fish in each and every way."Meinema, born 1963 (Delft, The Netherlands) is former CEO of a temp office, specialized in contracting technicians. Together with his wife he has managed a gallery for contemporary art and jewelry for more than ten years. Nowadays Meinema is fulltime writer and visual artist.

      About the Author

      1

      Wilson Dillinger strayed the darkened rooms of the ancient villa. The old lake house had already lost all its charm many years ago. Last week it also lost its last inhabitant. Now his grandmother had passed away, Wilson was the only member of the Dillinger family still alive.

      Holy shit, Kelly said. These rooms have not breathed fresh air for ages. What an awful smell!

      Wilson laughed at his girlfriend. Granny did not like uninvited guests; she preferred to keep the house to herself.

      Kelly almost threw up. With a smell like this you may invite anybody, but no one will show up. She opened a few windows to let the air of early spring in and do its refreshing work. When was the last time you’ve been here Will?

      Phew…Must have been three or four years ago, Wilson said.

      What? Three years? Kelly said surprised. Didn’t you go to see her with Thanksgiving or New Year’s Day then?

      No. Why should I?

      Because she was all alone.

      Just told you, she wanted to, Wilson said.

      Everybody needs company Will.

      Grandma was not everybody Kell. She was… well, not like everybody.

      Kelly shrugged her shoulders. Not understanding her friend’s behavior. She walked outside to get some more fresh air and to enjoy the first sun of the season.

      Wilson joined her. Took of his T-shirt and sat down beside her on the grass. I hardly knew her Kell. In fact, most things I know about her, are memories about the time I still lived here. And that’s quite some time ago.

      Kelly didn’t react. She watched a grimly old man slowly walking
