    André started out writing stories by the dozens while still in high school. .Being an avid reader of thrillers and horror, nl. James Hadley Chase, Don Pendleton, Richard Sapir, Warren Murphy, Heinz Konsalik, Stephen King, etc...He wrote hundreds of short stories in the form of thrillers, horror, romance...and then he tried something new.He was especially fascinated by erotic stories. The kind of writing which made erotica possible was new to him and he experimented. A proper erotic story is basically a porn movie without pictures, but beautiful and thoughtful and insightful. Not easy to write, but he experimented, until it felt right.He gave his first effort to his harshest critics - his schoolmates. It was good when he saw smiles appearing on their faces, eyes blinking to make sure they are really seeing what they are seeing, as they read. They didn't criticize or make any comments, but they wanted more. This was a good sign. With his other stories, they just read a bit and then put it down and never asked for more. But now they wanted more and more and more. And they always wanted to take it home, to go read it there."Where it's quieter." They would say. But he knew why.And he felt good.Erotica is for much more than just reading.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      FOREWORD

      All of us have monsters that we meet as children. Most of us never talk of these monsters and just carry on with our lives. And all the time these monsters sit on our backs like evil monkeys.

      As we step into adulthood, these monsters usually disappear from our lives and we mostly never think of them again.

      But does not thinking about them make them go away?

      This is a story that tells of those unspoken monsters of our childhood. It tells of how they return.

      Read with caution as you might find one of your own monsters in here.

      A bonus story: The Secret of the Goddess Eireua, is included.

      Don’t forget to enjoy life

      Fear

      He hears indistinct, very excited voices speaking loudly…somewhere. He can feel himself moving upwards towards consciousness and then he wakes up smoothly and easily. He instantly grabs for the gun under his pillow as he quickly rolls from the bed.

      ...but.

      He is not in his bed, neither in his room.

      He does not recognize the world around him. It is gray. He never saw anything like this before in his life. Everything is gray. The sky is gray, the surrounding area is grey and he even seems to be standing in what looks like a light gray cloud covering his legs up to his hips. The light is like that of a very cloudy day with rain to fall soon.

      This just doesn't make sense. Only a few seconds ago he was...

      ...he was. He was?? What?

      Oh, God, what was he doing a few seconds ago? Suddenly he can't remember what he was doing. How is this possible?

      He looks around him now with more interest, but all he sees is grey. Not a definite gray, more like different shades of grey. In addition to the grayness, there is nothing else around him. No houses, no plants, no streets, no animals, no people...nothing...there is literary nothing around him, except for the color grey.

      This must be a dream, but he certainly doesn't feel like he's dreaming. He’s awake. He is sure that he’s awake.

      It is neither hot nor cold. This grey could be a fog out in the veldt, but then he would have felt the cold. There is a harsh wind blowing, but he can only hear the sound. He feels no wind against him. In fact he feels rather comfortable, except...

      ...except for the fear that fills his body like hot lead. He doesn't know what he is so afraid of, but he is filled with an absolute dread that he never felt before in his life. The fear feels kind of familiar...but…no, it can't be that. It can’t be.

      He must keep calm. All will become clear. Through the years he trained himself to be calm whenever there’s a crisis. Once you are calm you can think better and clearer. He must firstly remember what he was doing before this. Once he knows what he did before this, he will automatically know what is going on around him. He will know what this grey world is surrounding him.

      The sound of the wind is getting even stronger. It sounds like a wind blowing around the corners of a house. An empty house that stands somewhere in a vast desert. But he is not inside anything. There is the sky above his head. Although a sick grey color which he never saw before, the sky is there. He is outside. And he is somewhere; he will just have to figure out where.

      But he knows if he and get his thoughts together he will figure it out in no time.

      He starts moving forward and finds that he walks easily. With his lower body hidden by the grey fog it almost seems as if he is floating in this world of gray. He can feel himself moving forward, but because there is nothing to measure his movement against in this gray, it seems as if he is just walking on the same spot.

      His mind is working hard now. Where was he a few seconds before this? He can remember that he was doing something important. Something that is impossible to forget, but now he can't remember it. What was it?

      His name is...

      His name is...

      God, in heaven. He can't even remember his own name. What the hell is going on here? He is walking on solid ground. That he can feel under his feet. He is out here in the open with this gray surrounding him in this unknown place.

      What the hell is going on here?

      And that stirs up the fear inside him even further. Never in his life did he feel fear like this. The fear feels almost physical and it hurts him.

      What happened before this and how did he get here?

      And once he can remember that, he wants to know where here is.

      Before this
