Three Shadows
The room reeked of antiseptic, despair, and an eerie stillness punctuated by the faint, rhythmic beeps of the machines which were keeping her alive. Raagini Arora, once the epitome of grace and ambition, lay motionless on the hospital bed. Her pale face contrasted sharply with the bruises and bandages that marred her delicate features. TheContinue reading “Three Shadows”
The Kiss
He rested his head against the pillar and shut his eyes. The tears kept streaming down his face and he didn’t try and stop them. He felt numb at that moment as he felt his body leaning more and more on the pillar. He had seen enough. To see her kiss some other man withContinue reading “The Kiss”
The Hollow Building
The town had always felt small, but something about the building at the edge of it gave it a vast, empty weight.

It had been years since he’d thoughtContinue reading “The Hollow Building”

A digital clock on the wall ticks in sync with the fluorescent light thatContinue reading “The Ticking Clock”
Two Weeks
Kabir sat at the edge of the bridge, staring into the quiet river below. It wasn’t the roaring kind that would drown your thoughts; it was the gentle, murmuring kind that made you feel like you were floating, suspended between two worlds. His feet dangled over the edge, as if one step away from vanishing,Continue reading “Two Weeks”
The Meeting
The evening sun was gradually dissolving into the horizon, casting a golden hue over the quaint little cafe that had been their spot.

HeContinue reading “The Meeting”
The Hollow Echo
He stood by the window, staring blankly at the city below, a mass of cold, indifferent concrete. The sky above, murky and grey, seemed to press down upon the world, heavy with the weight of a million lives moving in sync, while he drifted—forgotten, detached and aimless. It had been months since life happened. First,Continue reading “The Hollow Echo”
