“Two Lives and a Mirror” by Anusha Saha

Submitted to Contest #70

Empty rum bottles littered the sticky floor beside my feet. It was day sixteen of misery. Who knew how long before I’d call it quits? I hated drinking impulsively. I prized my sobriety after being neglected by a drunkard father but I wanted to figure what drives a person to do something they detested. My wife had loved life.

“What's Normal?” by Anusha Saha

Submitted to Contest #61

10:35 a.m. She was already five minutes late. I reclined into the plastic blue chair outside her office and raised my eyebrows at the receptionist. “Just a five minutes more,” she mouthed slowly.

Submitted to Contest #57

“Your tea, Mr. Fletcher.” I gazed up from the blurry pieces of paper on which I began to pen down my will. “Thank you Jenna.” I beamed at her round glassy-eyed face. “And your glasses.” She gingerly set them down beside the tray of morning milk biscuits. “Ah yes…I knew I was missing something.” Despite being hired just as a part-time house help over the years, Jenna had be...

“Family Façade” by Anusha Saha

Submitted to Contest #55

Winters in Brecheston were quite harsh. Despite the sheets of golden snow blanketing the village, I was still able to pick out the places I knew and loved most. Not much had changed at all. I paused to take it all in. The perfect backdrop for a painting. I recalled countless days under the thatched firewood shed trying to rea...

Author bio

Hi everyone ;) I love writing poems and stories just for a little fun. I hope to write my own novel one day. And this has nothing to do with anything but I'm also a Ravenclaw and I love chess, dark chocolate and tandoori chicken (Just putting that out there :D)
