Reena,
Savio just told me that after you complete your chapter you may hand the baton back to Savio who had started the story. Excited to read your take.

Dear Reena,
I have nominated you for carrying on a crazily mysterious narrative. Here is the link to it. In case, you have reasons not to pick up the threads you may hand it over to someone else. But I so wish you give your consent to pick up the threads.
BTW I love the borders desolving

This gave me goosebumps, Geeta! The story carries an uncanny similarity to the first chapter of my book “When Time Stopped” published on 24th November, 2019, 21 days less than 7 years ago.
The book is free to download on Kindle Unlimited. Give it a look
The theme is different, but the protagonist’s encounter with a woman is similar. Tell me if you would like me to continue this.

If you do not have any reservation then why not ? I did not know about your book. It’s interesting to know there is a connect. Do carry on. I will let Savio know.

Reena you will have to write the 9th chapter picking up the threads from the 8th chapter written by me.

If your chapter 1 can serve as chapter 9 or you wish to modulate a bit to suit the story it’s up to you. Please keep in view that Savio wishes to take the narrative to a closure in the tenth chapter

Hi Reena, this is Savio. Yes…you have the opportunity to write a short 9th chapter helping me bring down the curtains to this beautiful mix of bloggers imaginations running wild. Since you will be writing the penultimate chapter and me the final, we definitely could tone down a bit…since Geeta too…to an extent managed that. Looking forward to your contribution 😊
Have a wonderful day ahead.
