Mission (Im)possible

The yellow light is unmistakable, on those dilapidated structures, but not concentrated at a place. It is visible in patches of different sizes. He pulls out the picture of the yellow UFO circulating in social media. Some claimed to see it moving in circles over this lane. Maybe, they are searching for something, but what? … Continue reading Mission (Im)possible

What drives me?

what took me beyond diving in deep waters, tips of icebergs   I sprouted wings to fly solo in dark skies, explore unknown worlds   it’s a call from space from unfathomable depths, it’s only the itch   take me there or let me perish in between   (44 words) Quadrille #60

Weekend Writing Prompt #63 – Crumble
