A pin drop silence of the strange place made me nervous as I stepped out of the bus. I was better off getting off the bus with the rest of the people, I desperately thought to myself but to no avail as the bus had now gone out of sight.

The direction on Google map showed that the destination is just 1 km away. However, there was nothing in sight for as far as I had seen. I have gone in the wrong d...

She stepped over the cracked pavement, her sneakers barely making a sound as she walked, eyes fixed on the ground. The houses around her were all the same: faded, peeling, and suffocating in their sameness. She didn’t glance at them anymore, didn’t let herself see the worn-out fences or the dirty yards. She had stopped caring a long time ago. The noise in her head was louder than any argument she ...

The beeping of the heart monitor filled the room, each pulse louder than the last, like a drumbeat that couldn’t be ignored. I stood by the bed, syringe in hand, my breath shallow, my heart racing. The patient’s condition had deteriorated so quickly—one moment they were stable, the next, it felt like everything was slipping through my fingers. The seconds were slipping by ...

As the night unfurls its velvet wings,

A quiet darkness blankets the sky,

Yet in the vastness, a thousand sparks sing—

Stars whispering secrets as they pass by.

The weight of the night presses down,

A distant hope that puts my fears to rest.

and though I hope it will get better.

The smoke of war clouds every...

Pick that up and bring it into my tent, right now; I instructed tom to abide by the rules of the camp.

We were into our 2nd day of the wild tour and things started to getting ugly for all of us. We knew since we left home that it was not going to be easy handling them; so as a precaution, I took with me extra staff from the company's manpower resources who were obliged to do so.

The 200 km journ...

The cries of Brian reverberate throughout the boxed-in bed frame of the truck. I tug and tug on the door handle. Paint chips embed themselves in the creases of my fingers. I let go, sighing in agony and utter to the boy “I’m so sorry this happened to you.”

Brian, no older than five, cannot hear me. There he sits in the corner of this box truck, hopeless, almost lifeless. The backs of his ha...

Wait a second, what you trying to saying is that it was me who took your belongings from the cupboard. Are you accusing me, coz then I have to call the police.

While all this discussion was going on, Peter my room mate, who just lost valuable things from his cupboard, rang the police to report about the burglary.

The police arrived after 10 minutes and enquired about the whole thing. They wrote d...

Hey! "You could come, the downpour is heavy, we might have to wait for the bus a little bit longer".

I had finished my work for the day, and not aware of the heavy downpour, headed for home, only to realise what was awaiting for me.

"Oh thanx!, it's so nice of you", I s...
