“Instinct” by Monika Chiplunkar

Submitted to Contest #50

The projector flickered between slides, each depicting the very worst of human nature, in a non-poetic ode to Criminal Psychology. “Trust your instincts. The inbuilt radar of the human body is attuned to react to danger and evil of any sort. Pay attention when the hair on the back of your neck rises, when your stomach quivers or your internal system asks you to run away. Your instincts are probably correct, so step away from the situation and take yourself to a safe zone. In case your instincts are wrong, you can apologize to the perso...

Submitted to Contest #39

Staring up at the winking stars, Larry walked along the countryside, dejected, forlorn, eyes brimming with tears as his heart kept breaking into a million pieces. ‘Evernedale’ - Larry’s town, had the good grace of being pampered by mother nature.

Submitted to Contest #38

Some people are destined to have their lives riddled with accidents and catastrophes. Paula can be considered as an epitome of such blunders. Things fell as she came in their presence, buildings exploded at her unceremonious arrival, states flooded as she graced them with her presence. Psychologists say that the human mind has an inherent sense (known as the sixth sense ) that gives little nudges to a person and warns him/her of an imminent danger. Paula always felt, she had built up a seventh sense- the ability of complete destruction ...

Life sometimes takes a turn into bizzaro lane where you can almost feel fiction meeting reality. This lane is much easier to face if you have some premonition of the impending doom, but like its all other quirks, life springs its crazy on your back when you least expect it. I woke up like I always did- Late. It was my first day at office and I knew I needed to fast forward the whole morning to reach office on time. It had been a tough arduous year .
