“Of Seas and Men” by Advik Godbole

"I want to break free, I want to break free, I want to break free from your lies, you're so self-satisfied I don't need you, I've got to break free."  That song is all that went through his head as he sat in his cell. He bobbed his head to the inaudible song. He hummed along too, and he was sure he looked crazy to the guards patrolling the corridor. He turned out to be right when one of them stru...

“Infernal Hearts” by Advik Godbole

I sighed. "You don't give up, do you?" I asked her. "Of course not. Have you seen me?" she said, tugging at the bars. "We aren't going to get out. Leave it be. Don't torture the bars, at least." I said. "What? You've given up?" she asked. "What if I have?" I asked. "You'll lose the minuscule amount of respect I had for you." "You think I care about your respect?" "Well, you should...

“Whisper Of Fear” by Advik Godbole

I was woken up by a phone call late in the night. I opened my eyes and felt around for my phone. I found it and looked at who was calling me. It was my friend, Olivia. I wondered why she was calling that late in the night, but I picked it up. "Hello?" I said softly. "Yo!" she yelled from the other end. I lifted the phone off my ear and put it in speaker mode, placing it on my bed. "What's ...

“The Shift Of Time” by Advik Godbole

I ran through the winding streets, hoping to outrun him. Emma ran behind me, struggling to keep up. I heard his cries and screams of rage as he bayed for blood. I crashed into a wall as I turned the road. I was winded but I kept running, but it was futile. It was a dead-end. We turned around to take another street, but he stood at the entrance. The knife in his hand gleamed in the darkness...

“Fallen Family” by Advik Godbole

I ducked under the police tape and opened the creaky door. Officers nodded at me as I went by. I nodded back and headed upstairs. I removed my coat and handed it off to one of the officers there.She took it without complaint. She didn't meet my eyes, which was just as good. I opened the door of my sister's room and headed inside. There was a wrap over her body. The window off to the side was broken.They hadn't moved her until I had gotten there. I removed the top half of the covering. My sister's face s...

“The Night Light” by Advik Godbole

The city plunged into darkness. The computer in front of me went dark instantly. I heard generators coming to life until those were killed too. I looked through the window at the rest of the city. It was pitch-black except for the shine of the moon. People were gathering at balconies and opening windows. I called my sister and asked if she had faced a power cut too. She had. It seeme...

“Something Immortal” by Advik Godbole

"Shut it, the both of you!", the librarian hissed at us. I sighed and nodded towards the back. Eve nodded and we slowly got out of the seats and headed to the bookshelves at the back. We reached a mostly secluded shelf where the librarian wouldn't hear us. I looked to Eve, her lustrous black locks framing her beautiful face.  "So, where were we?" I asked. "Right," she said blinking, "I bel...

“Wanted For Death” by Advik Godbole

I looked at the train ticket and again to the crowded seats in front of me. I sat down along with two men who wore blue suits and had suitcases.I put my own in front of me and sat back. I patted my coat pockets to make sure I had everything with me. I straightened my tie and took off my hat.The two men briefly glanced at me and turned away, hugging their cases to their legs. They might have been criminals, judging from their nervous seating position.I patted my holster under my coat to...

Thesseley ran towards her master's chambers. She passed nervous cooks and other maids on the way.

She walked towards him, her skirt trailing on the floor.She k...

“Seconds Before Death” by Advik Godbole

Death is a scary thing. We spend our whole lives avoiding it, even though we are on a constant timer, getting closer to death every second. It's inevitable. Some people live healthily and live longer while some don't, and live shorter. Most people fear it, while some look forward to it, like me. I had lived a painful life, tortured by everyone around me. Turns out I would die painfully too...

“Deathly Power” by Advik Godbole

I stood in front of the mansion, shaking. I didn't want to enter it, but I had to. I had to understand. My pursuit of knowledge would not let me give up. I had travelled to England for this. I was an investigator, trying to understand the activities of the paranormal. I also held the only weapon that could deal with a spiritual being, whether in human form or not. I had developed it myself and had sacrifi...

“Night Of The Knight” by Advik Godbole

I gazed up at the stars. The sun had just faded and the various constellations now lit up the night sky. I saw Gemini and Tauros. I saw Cancer and Scorpio low in the sky.I was a knight in the kings army. I was granted knighthood mainly because I was the son of one of the greatest knights in history. Also partly because I had shown great promise in my training.I sat upon Snowfire, my white steed. I had been training all my life for this day. It was the summer of the year 1213. England had just declared w...

“Long Past Dawn” by Advik Godbole

It was a cold night, I was frantically rehearsing my lines for my play. It was William Shakespeare's "Othello". I played the role of Iago. He was the main antagonist of the play. I had really tried to get into his character in the last few days. I researched everything that people did in Shakespeare's era. I even took an online course in Elizabethan English. I sat by the lit fireplace in m...
