“Through The Smoke” by Eesha T

Two figures stood under a tall maple tree, exchanging glances and a thin white stick in between breaths. Their fingers brushing ever so lightly, completely by intention, while they breathed in and out, like one muscle contracting and the other relaxing. It wasn’t just cigarettes they shared that day, but ice cream too. A scoop of vanilla and one of chocolate, served together with two spoons; both of their favourite flavo...

Submitted to Contest #83

When you're short on money but high in spirit, you got to do what you can do and not what you want to do. Since I did not have enough money to visit the typical vacation spots like Hawaii or Paris, I decided to jump on the unconventional bandwagon and booked my self a trip to Pakistan. Now, of course it wasn't my first option but when you are short on money and you get to go to another country basically for free then it doesn't matter what you want.

“Twix Marshall Has A Hard Time” by Eesha T

Submitted to Contest #82

Inside an almost empty semi-detached home lived a vivacious young boy with his father. He wasn't much like other kids his age, in fact he wasn't like the other kids at all. You see his was a case different than the rest for he was not a human but an Android.

He was never born like the other kids. He didn't live in a w...

Submitted to Contest #81

When Sher Shavik Silas found out that his high school crush, as luck would have it, was in the premises of his very own college, he was on cloud nine. This joyful news reached him from another freshman, with whom he had instantly hit off, as a result of a truth or drink game they were playing in their dormitory a fortnight before The Great Disappointment and a night before an assignment due date. In that moment, as he sat in a ritualistic circle of semi-strangers and himself half-drunk, he was forced to disclose the name of his crush. The...

“Z-Day” by Eesha T

Submitted to Contest #80

As humans, we are unaware of the dangers of the world or the possible impending doom that seems impossible to us due to our naivete. Only when it's atop our heads, casting a shadow on our existence do we truly grasp the morbidity of the situation. Here I venture to tell you about my brush with the realisation that I had been too blinded by the safety of the bubble that I lived in. I was then in my pre-teenage years, a me...
