Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those crossing the little town of Hoofslope usually don't pay it any mind. Exactly like Ash Reid, there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about it.If they paid a little closer attention, however, they'd end up surprisingly rewarded. They'd be reeled in by the details carved on the seemingly endless bridges. By the undeniable charm that would engulf them. By the alluring warmth coming off the little shops and bars.Most people aren't like that, though, and Ash is thankful for it. Most of them shiver under the crisp cold winds and move on. And by doing that they don't see him.And that's fine, really. It's exactly what he wants.The few who pay enough attention notice things, however. His skittish nature. Eyes that dart away from intimacy and an unwavering quietude. They don't see the dashing blue lights that mock and comfort. His pain and shame; his scars.But they don't question it. The young man is part of their community and their lives. They've learned to accept his ways and enjoy his music, even though it comes with peculiar melodies.Nothing lasts forever, though. This unexpected string of events has an ominous, unsettling ring to it.

This time, Ash was the one caught off-guard and, as past and present collide, he's the one about to be consumed.

Download or read book 12 41 written by Aditya Sen and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We’re all Achilles in our own minds, living our own Iliad. Oh, beautiful bird of flight, from where hast thou fallen? Tender face and bones, this cruel place is nowhere for you to rest, oh no. 12:41 is a collection of poems and short prose pieces that are dark yet luminous at the same time. Each piece seems to be narrated by a different voice, usually of a character in an extreme condition: a man about to kill another, a man moments after he has died, a teen giddy with love or desperate after a break-up, a body hurtling to the ground and regretting stepping off the ledge. Are these different characters, or are they different voices in the same character’s head? Aditya Sen’s writings are mature beyond his years and are marked by their vivid intensity, a keen ear for rhythm and a knack for the unexpected.
