Lola fell from the veranda rail and hit the curbstone at the edge of the lawn below.Shocked, Lacrima and her mother rushed down, and to their horror, found Lola’s perfectly beautiful china face and her lovely sky and sea eyes shattered at the foot of the veranda.'Lola’s dead, Lola’s dead!' screamed Lacrima, trembling all over as an uncontrollable flood of tears streamed down her face.Her mother embraced her, reassuring that Lola wasn’t dead, just injured. She promised to take Lola to Uncle Nicolai’s clinic and that within a week she would return home healthy and whole.Lacrima, trembling uncontrollably, barely registered Aunt Mina’s words. She only remembered that because of Uncle Mihai’s actions, Lola was now so badly injured, lying in Uncle Nicolai’s clinic. She also recalled her own curses, wishing him dead in Hitler’s grave. Distressed, fearful, and crying, she clung to her mother’s leg and whispered in a choked voice, 'Mommy, I killed Uncle Mihai; he died because of my curses!'***’Lola, Death Awaits You at the End of the Street’ is one of eighteen stories originally published in the author’s previous book ’Was it real life or just fantasy.’ This standalone collection now brings these compelling stories directly to you, offering a deep dive into tales of love, passion, and disillusionment from it, stories of childhood, coming of age, and more. Lola is a sensitive and moving story about Lacrima’s awakening from the innocent, joyful days of her childhood into a merciless world full of adult predators who lurk for the innocent and exploit them to satisfy their twisted desires.
