Who said that fairytales only existed in books? Here I am, locked in my own tower, called my home. We lived in a small one-bedroom, living room apartment in Mumbai. My whole family were our neighbours. Due to this, I had a lot of restrictions and sneaking out was impossible at all. Someone's door was always open. My uncle was also friends with the watchmen, who updated him on who left the house and when they returned. Even my grandpa would sit at the building gate and watch everyone go to work and return. The only time my grandpa came home ...
I stood in the kitchen, my arms wrapped tightly around myself as Alan leaned against the doorframe. His suitcase sat beside him like an exclamation point at the end of a story I hadn't written. He wasn't looking at me, of course. He hadn't looked at me for months, not really. "I'm sorry, Maya," he said softly, but it wasn't soft enough to mask the detachment in his voice.

I was a new kid in St. Anne's, Minestone school a couple of months ago. Danielle, the popular rich girl in school befriended me. Lucky for me, I didn't have to spend lunch break sitting alone in a corner bench next to the dustbins. My mother is a nurse.

It's another boring day working at the supermarket. Ever since this pandemic, it's either an empty dull place or a place so packed with people that you can't even imagine. We have been low on staff since we cannot keep a lot of employees on grounds. Unlucky for me one of my co-worker caught the virus and is in the hospital, so I've gotta work for all 6 days instead of working for alternate days. "Thank the stars, my shift's finally done. I'm gonna spend all weekend on the couch binge-watching the shows I missed during the week", I tell Dar...
