Ante always dreaded the mountains as a kid. His grandfather was a trained trekking leader and led many expeditions on the Himalayas & Andes. In the childhood whenever Ante spent vacations at grandparents, he would hear stories of how someone died on the last trek and how the young boy slipped from the edge and all these twisted with more fictional horror. Pan Grandpa enjoyed storytelling and he is making a big fish out of the tiny one. Ante enjoyed these stories but somewhere deep down the stories had a larger impact on him then he reali...

The Sunday news was on TV, Roni was busy with the usual Sunday morning routine; doing the laundry, making breakfast and watching the news. The only voices she heard was that of the news anchors shouting at top of their voices, reading out news about the pandemic which had recently been in the news. The news of the coronavirus had reached every nook & corner of the city & Covid-19 was the talk of the town. The first thing people doing every morning is getting glued to their television sets & getting panicked with the increase in t...

At 2:20 a.m. on that fateful April 15 of the year 1912, the British ocean liner, the most famous ship of the era and perhaps even till date, The RMS Titanic sank into the North Atlantic Ocean, not very far from its destination. The massive ship, which carried 2,200 passengers and crew, had struck the iceberg about two and a half hours earlier. The so-called unsinkable ship had finally sunk. Who on earth doesn’t know this? But very few know how this incident changed the lives of thousands, people who died, people that were related to them, an...

Hello..Hello..Hello..?

I don’t usually receive or entertain calls from unknown numbers, but that fateful day I did, when I got that call. I usually have no patience when it comes to unknown calls, but the familiar voice made me stop for a moment and hear him out. He called out my name and I immediately identified the voice which I was hearing after 20 years. There were multiple thoughts running over my mind,” Would mom want me to talk to him? Would she hate me if she got to know I spoke to him? What does he even have to say to me now? How did he get my number? He ...

DRAMA- “It has been 19 long years and I don’t want to drag a long time over relationship just for the sake of my kids”, I told the attorney. “I have been doing it for almost 2 decades, but no more, I have now promised myself.” I continued, “The abuse only increased by double and the tolerance has reduced by half. To me, my only support are my 3 kids.” “Do you even know what they tell me –‘You better die rather than leave this home!’—I keep hearing this warning from time to time from his family , Every time I go to them with a new scar or a...

“The last globally visibly full moon on Halloween was in 1944 during world war 2 and now after 76 years my first Halloween is on the full moon.” – I read in the news article on the web and couldn’t have been more excited. What should I dress up like? Dracula’s partner? But I have no Dracula to accompany me. Perhaps A witch? Nah. Oh gosh! It is my first Halloween, and I want to be my best! Thought Danni to herself. Danni was super excited about her costume and first Halloween. Having grown up in Istanbul and moving to Brasov only last year,...

He's a Liar!

Sometimes it can be quite daunting to justify your actions and thoughts to people around you; the varying cultural, the geographical conditions and when you are dead you don’t even stand a chance. “Time travel always fascinated me, and the western movies added fuel to my explorative mind. I always wondered how it would be to travel to the future. Learn the secrets behind new inventions and bring the thoughts back to the present, rather past. It would be so exciting to have a futuristic better life in our present.”, wrote Hussein in his tiny ...

Granny Dona’s spent most of the day lounging on her huge terrace all afternoon, basking in the shallow sun, and knitting different pieces of clothing for all her grandchildren, the neighbour’s children and donate the extras to the nearby orphanage. She had an amazing eye for her detailed work, and no one could beat her at what she did. The kids did suggest her a couple of times that she should run an online business for her knit-wear but she never showed any interest, she was happy doing it for her loved ones only, and the idea of selling he...

Submitted to Contest #55

“Can you keep a secret?”, whispered the lady in his ears. She was dressed in a shimmering little backless black dress with high boot heels and wore rosy pink lipstick and let her short hair loose dangling over the back of her neck and pinned on the left. He had his eyes on her from the moment he saw her at the bar counter early that night. At first, it seemed to him that she was with a group of friends, but he later realized that she was by herself and just hanging around with some young boys and girls. It was Friday night and the crowd coul...

“It’s simply not my cup of tea,” exploded Vami! She had started to struggle with herself. All she was trying was to give her best shot, after all, she needed that second income, and it was just her first step. She had been watching movies all her life, was very quick at picking up new things, she was a natural orator & a very good one! She was on top of her game when it came to tabletop topics, she even represented her district on the state level of the Toastmaster’s contest. But when she had to do it on camera with a prepared speech, sh...
