“ I Won't Ever Stop You” by Aishani Gupta

Submitted to Contest #89

I sigh. Before I can lose my resolve too much, I speak up. “That was amazing, Cleaver, thanks a lot But now I think I’ll have to –“ “Hey! How could I forget!” Cleaver looks at me, eyes shining. “Come on, Helix! I gotta show you something!” Flapping his wings quickly, Cleaver takes off into the sky, oblivious as usual to the fact that I’m half-human, and just with my luck, didn’t have any pretty, colorful fairy wings.

“Pure Perfection” by Aishani Gupta

Submitted to Contest #86

“Stop, there’s a –” THUMP! “Okay.” Sighing, I ambled over. “Break anything?” “Nope, don’t think so. Give me a hand, maybe?” I looked towards the sky, relishing the warm sun pouring onto my face.

“Punch” by Aishani Gupta

Submitted to Contest #51

It was some three years ago. I was a young man of 20 back then. I barely lived through twenty. Want to know why? Go on, read the rest, you'll find out. *** Hello, I'm Amar. And though my name means ' immortal ', I was hardly able to live through these last two years of my life. I just couldn't. The pain. The guilt. My troubled conscience. I was hardly able to survive. I hid from my own self in shame. When I went to sleep, the only thing I could see was that night, and my tiredness and sleep flew away. No sweet memories - only guilt-ridden on...

“The Tree House” by Aishani Gupta

Submitted to Contest #50

I still can't process what happened there. All I know is, I learned a lot about the world and the consciousness beyond our vision and logic in those few weeks. *** Summer holidays had started a few days ago. My dad, my dad's friend, and I had undertaken a project. We were building a treehouse. We looked at our hard work proudly after it was done, and me and my friend decided to move in there. *** Fast-forward a few weeks, we had moved in with all essentials that a pair of treehousers n...
