“Go out the window” by Tejas Chandna

Drenched, scared, and dreaded: Can you feel all at the same time? To all humans I have seen in my life, they prank these feelings only during Halloween days or when they are in the mood to play on innocents. I have seen urchins scaring the wits of passers-by from their notorious balconies. Balconies being notorious? Well, they have become nefarious living with nefarious fishes in the same lake. One such balcony is right next to me, but I see her every day in the morning. Sad and dejected. I have been here isolated since I was entrenched i...

“Freedom to fire the flies ” by Tejas Chandna

Submitted to Contest #57

"Coruscating, as a thousand fireflies were worshipped, gorging on my father's ashes. He burnt himself to death as the tradition of Yasas say ' To burn to the glory of flies'. The flies gorged on his burnt parts and a thousand Yasas celebrated to weep for their king's death. Here people celebrate to weep on their King's death. The king or queen belongs to the royal family of Yasas. I am a Yasa too. My family has been royal and lavish in itself, the maximum life expectancy recorded to be of 40 years. My grandmother, Yahoti Yoshi, the longest-l...

“The U Flight of birds ” by Tejas Chandna

Submitted to Contest #55

The Flight "Can you keep a secret?" said I, talking to my eleven-year-old brother. He nodded and asked innocently "But... What? Tell me please please.""Ok! but promise me you will stop stalking me" chided I. Poor guy, innateness in his eyes reflected him. This innocence pays when you have an older sister cruel in her eyes, reflecting a contrast of your brother's actions."It was red!""What was red?" again that innocent face. Why can't he stop being that stupid and cute?"The blood," said mini-me, inside me.It all started last week when I was g...

“A second to live again” by Tejas Chandna

Submitted to Contest #54

It's been twenty years since I founded 'Second Chances'. She was there with me when I started it. We were inquisitive to find where it goes. The journey today is coming to a beautiful end. Nostalgia giggles my nose when those memories of an eighteen-year-old nothing finds a second chance to bring a show called 'a second chance'. She told me that it will go well and it did. God bless the TC Productions that it had the courage to take this unpredictable show. It started when we met the first ghost. His name was Anthony. He died in a car a...

“Is my sky Pink, Blue or Dark?” by Tejas Chandna

Submitted to Contest #54

Flocks of crows hovered in the sky. Producing a cacophony of bitter noises, they giggled it blue and pink. Life produced itself when owls hid their eyes in the irritant light. Lied solitary, their bodies cuddled peace of tiredness at night, and looking overwhelmed, nature hid its blue and pink colors.With its screen reflecting pink and blue, a gun marched with a dark head and a red face on the ground. Sounds of ticker belled in time's ears and a pond of innocence watered the land, thrashing it solitarily. Quivering for life, thousands more l...

"Ha Ha! funny!" said the car as we both drove back home tired and sad to a weekend we were about to cancel. Sad because we regretted the day when we planned it. I wished we planned it well, but let's see how an unplanned weekend goes.It was in college that my two best friends planned a weekend out with all of us leaving all our gadgets, books, and worries behind. Who knew it would start to explain to us the meaning of life.The car was promised to be a two day weekend. It went on laughing on our stupidity that a weekend is of only two days. W...
