To The Reader
To The Reader, this opening note is not just a formality but a pointed defense of truth against the spread of fantasy. The writer, J. de Luna, steps forward not only as a storyteller but as a witness determined to restore dignity to a tale that has, in his eyes, been twisted into nonsense. A version of Lazarillo's life, recently printed and circulated, told of him falling into the sea and transforming into a fish—a tuna no less—complete with underwater battles, a scaly wife, and tuna offspring. To…-

My Triumphant Finale
My Triumphant Finale begins not with celebration, but with silence—the heavy kind that settles in a prison cell at night when hope has begun to fade. Sigismund Zaluski, a man once full of promise and intellect, finds himself confined not by just stone walls, but by the weight of an accusation rooted in thoughtless gossip. Within those narrow walls, time slows, days blur, and the mind becomes both sanctuary and tormentor. Desperate for a lifeline, he reaches out—not through voice, which the walls…-

My Third Stage
My Third Stage begins within the genteel backdrop of an afternoon social event, where civility masks the quiet churn of rivalry. At the center of this subtle drama is Sigismund Zaluski—a man whose foreign elegance and ease provoke both admiration and disquiet in those around him. His calm presence and cultured conversation hold sway over the company, drawing particular attention from Gertrude Morley, whose growing fondness for Zaluski is visible, though never spoken aloud. Among the onlookers is James…-

My Sixth Stage
My Sixth Stage begins during a particularly airless September in London, where Mark Shrewsbury, an otherwise prolific writer, found himself weighed down by the unrelenting heat and creative inertia. The comfort of his writing chamber offered little relief, and even the familiar rhythm of his typewriter failed to spark motivation. His mind wandered, detached from the manuscript he was laboring over. It was during this uninspired spell that he drifted into the club, looking for companionship or at least…-

My Seventh Stage
My Seventh Stage begins as two journeys are set into motion—one by rail, the other by post. As autumn sunlight bathes the English countryside in warmth, Sigismund Zaluski departs from the peaceful town of Muddleton, answering an unexpected summons from his uncle in Russia. Though the visit is intended to be brief—just a fortnight—he leaves behind his belongings and a tender promise to Gertrude, his fiancée, to return soon. Simultaneously, a letter penned in idle malice—full of falsehoods—makes…-

My Second Stage
My Second Stage begins with a seemingly minor whisper, still vague and barely noticeable, gaining momentum as it finds a place in human thought. What started as idle speculation takes shape like a seed exposed to light, fed by casual curiosity and moments of doubt. As it evolves, the slander acquires a voice, no longer just an idea but a presence with intent, seeking out hosts who might unknowingly harbor its poison and help it spread further. Lena Houghton becomes its next target, and although she enters…-

My Fourth Stage
My Fourth Stage unspools in the carefully curated world of Mrs. Milton-Cleave, a woman who thrives on appearances and subtle manipulation. Known for her tasteful luncheons and careful conversation, she moves through her day with a practiced grace that conceals her desire to influence those around her. That day, her mind lingers not on her usual preoccupations but on a passing moment she witnessed—Gertrude Morley and Sigismund Zaluski walking together in the garden, absorbed in each other’s company. The…-

My First Stage
My First Stage begins in the serene yet suffocating village of Muddleton, where reputations are shaped not by actions but by the whispers passed over cups of tea. It is in Mrs. O'Reilly's sunlit drawing room, decorated with delicate porcelain and careful social airs, that a rumor first flickers to life. During a seemingly innocent afternoon visit, she shares a provocative remark with Miss Lena Houghton—that Mr. Sigismund Zaluski, a visiting foreigner, may be aligned with radical ideologies. This isn't…-
