"Are you coming tonight?" Sneha asked me excitedly."Where?" I asked."It's a new Year's party. I have got an entry pass for all four of us. It will be fun. Yoooo!" Her dance moves showed her excitement on the busy Indian streets of Mumbai with her right-hand index finger pointing towards the sky and left hand placed on her hips. The sudden dance move startled me, and I looked at her with surprise. Meanwhile, my mind was running at its top speed, searching for a powerful reason to not to go with her. "Umm, I have some urgent of...

I woke up with a loud smashing noise of glass and rushed towards the window. Everything looked so tiny from the twentieth floor of Hotel Grand Plaza. The crowd gathered on the ground floor, where someone had fallen hard on the rooftop of the car, facing downwards. I looked at the time on my smartphone. It was 2.30 a.m. I opened the door of my room and ran towards the lift when I saw a man dressed in a black coat and a hat. The collar of the black coat had a weird-looking button of a Scorpio. He was running down the staircase furio...

"Don't," Vinaya said in a hushed tone.I looked around to see if anyone is watching us from the woods."Let's try at least. We don't even know if it is vacant!" I said."But there's nobody inside. We already knocked at the door thrice."It's hard to say, but she was right for a change. We knocked at the door, and nobody opened it. Hence we decided to sneak into to spend the night in the middle of the woods. We wanted to get some thrill in our life that brought us here. Yes, you heard it right, two teenage girls bored from the current life needed...

"I have to leave all of them and travel with you!" It was the 100th time when she repeated the same sentence, and he was listening to it. He had no choice other than listening to her for the rest of his life. After all the odds, they got married at the start of the year. 'Honey, you know it is not my fault. I am tired of listening to this since we left that city," Alex tried to explain to her for the 100th time. Alex knew Saundarya had rough times in the last few months, and then the relocation just added to the mess. Saundarya was a j...

I was running recklessly in the middle of the road, trying hard to control my tears. Still, it kept appearing. I was sweating profusely in the winter season as I ran. I questioned myself, why is this happening again? I have to stop it. I just cannot let it happen, once again. “I am Mohan and this is my story. You all must be wondering where am I heading to and most importantly, why? All this started six months back on one fine normal day in the life of a thirty-year-old guy. That's me!” *** “Mohan, don’t forget to take your lun...

Darkness was engulfing in and it was time for the moon to come up in the horizon to spread its light. It was a full moon night with a sky full of stars but rarely visible under the blanket of moonlight. Yet it looked scary around. I started walking up the hill slowly taking one step at a time, just being cautious of any wild animals or haunted spirits to cross my way. I heard a lot of stories of a full moon night and haunted spirits. Recalling those stories just gave me chills every time. My legs were getting numb as I walked up the hill in ...

We were twenty people, seven men, eight women, five children, and a dog too to be precise. It was the break of the dawn the next day. We were surrounded by water on all four sides. Kids were sleeping on the laps of their mothers. No more noise of the kids playing around. They were tired and so were we. A pin-drop silence. Nobody wanted to talk about the previous night. We just wanted to relax for some time. 'Do you think, they will come today?' voice of a lady sitting next to me broke my chain of thoughts. 'I hope so' I said and to...

It is really tiring when you wake up while the entire world is asleep and dreaming about the wonderful colours of life. With sleepy eyes you stretch your legs out trying to find the floor. Finally after few seconds your feet touches the ground and a cold wave rushes in your body. It felt like someone was pricking needles into your feet. It got numb. Your eyes now completely open with the touch of reality as you ran to jump and sit on a sofa in that rainy morning. You heaved a sigh a relief as being protected on that side corner of the sofa. ...
