"Cheers," the famous writer says, smiling, his arms wrap around the slim waist of the flower girl - the get-rich-quick scheme coming true a bit too soon. As he opens his eyes to exhale the last of the fizz, he realizes: there is no girl, no party, no awards - he is simply dosing himself in illusion; the story of his life lays on the table, rejected, same as his corpse when the police discovers it three days later.

I'm tempted to say any world created by J.R.R Tolkien. Or Lewis Carroll. But! If I had to choose one world to rule them all, I think I will jump into any debate and essay scenes written by Oscar Wilde. I adore his wit and his excellent turn of phrase. The cheekiness of him!

I'm on the deep end of doing my research on Gnosticism, so I don't think there's anything interesting! Though, I found The Gospel of Judas to be quite fascinating. Kierkegaard's The Sickness Unto Death is also an intriguing read. I think I'm back to my philosophical era!

Currently there's this mystery near my hometown: a mall is rumored to be haunted by vengeful spirits. They hypnotize (?) and will people to commit suicide (?). I don't know how real this rumor is but I think it will be a good plot for a horror novel - I am not a good horror writer, unfortunately!
