“Money Fails Here” by Sanchita Khan

It’s chilly, damp, and nearly flooded outside. The persistent rain over the past five days has brought the small town of "Madhupur" to a standstill. People are venturing out only if absolutely necessary. Numerous puddles bewilder passers-by with sudden splashes. Umbrellas and raincoats are no match for the furious gale. Those compelled to venture outside eagerly await the taming of this monstrous weather. However, the sky remains black with heavy clouds, and the frequent thunder and lightning are so frightening that children have lost int...

“Ray of light” by Sanchita Khan

‘I wanted sausages and pasta, not boiled eggs and cheese-bread,’ said angry Farhan. ‘Well, today’s breakfast is boiled eggs and cheese bread,’ mum patiently pointed at the calendar.

“Invincible” by Sanchita Khan

Submitted to Contest #153

The sun was about to rise. Its soft golden light had already bid farewell to the night and declared another day to begin. Some small birds were chirping from their nests. Chickens became restless to come out from the coops. Women in the village already got busy preparing the food since their husbands would go to the paddy fields and their children would attend school.

Author bio

Flying like a bird is what I always wish I could do! I let my mind soar high into the heavens, dive into the deepest of water, and leap into the small towns, villages, big cities, restaurants and everywhere!

It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me feedback on the stories you've read, regardless if you like or dislike them. I believe writing improves when other writers contribute their thought.
