For I am on the precipice of finding a solution to one of history’s most difficult mathematical problems. The wary wind passing by the windows fluttered the stacks of paper in front of me, illuminated by the warm table lamp, and permeated the smell of dry ink into the air. As silent as the breeze and as deep as the night, a voice echoed; a feeble whisper.The whispers from the Lord shall call for me and I must have to obey it. The block-shaped object of unanimous allegiance sat on the edge of my bed. From the corner of my peripheral, I notice...

The airlock of the space habitat swung open, revealing the two fully-suited spacemen. Their costumes were dull white with tinted blue helmets and golden reflective visors. The two spacemen stepped out into the grey alien planet, retrieved their long probes, and prodded the surroundings around them. Their equipment beeped and notified them of the collecting data.The mounds of greyish-blue sand camouflaged the space habitat with the grey mountain ranges behind it. The spacemen's shoes crunched in the planet’s stillness. The crepuscular rays be...

She was different today. It is astonishing to witness a new side of someone you have spent years knowing and living beside.

The middle-aged lady hurriedly walked along the crowded market streets, passing through the strong scent of turmeric and chilies. The seven-year-old child, whom she had been dragging along, slowed down to look at the wooden doll hanging at the bazaar shop. The lady tugged at the child’s hand and dragged her with complete indifference towards the small cottage at the corner of the market. She walked towards the cottage with resolve, as if she had already been there before. The lady, excusing herself, pushed through the people gathered around ...

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to ponder what she was wondering. Most evenings, she would gait across the green grass, politely smile at the other dawdling contestants, and sit by the swimming pool. Then, she would dip her legs into the clear transparent water, look ahead, and repeat the same words. I wish sometimes I could sit next to her by the pool, and ask her the simplest question. Why?Often, I have dreamt of sitting next to her by the pool, in those instances, I would take a deep breath, collect whatever little courage ...
