Wonder
Isolation
“A skeleton has been found inside the house. It is surprising that the neighbors did not smell trouble for a year.” My super sleuth boss was just thinking aloud. “Old Joseph was deserted by his children, and lived alone.” “Could that be murder? The house shows no signs of a scuffle or robbery.” “I don’t … Continue reading Isolation
Insecurity
“Mrs. Nayar, your son places his fingers on my mouth, and says he loves me. This is not acceptable behavior.” “I’m sorry, Ma’m. You are his favorite teacher. He is afraid of losing people he loves, after his father’s demise. He does that with me too – checks if I am still breathing.” (52 words) … Continue reading Insecurity
Creative Genes
Mrs. Jones could not stop gushing, while I fixed coffee for her. “Such an artistically done house! And it is great to see that the kids have inherited your creativity.” “Try this pumpkin cake.

Borderline
The skeleton on the bench moved, and the bony extensions encircled my neck. “I killed you several years ago. You are supposed to be resting in your grave”, I barely uttered some words in a muffled voice. “Do you see that pylon over there? They leave wires open for earthing. And while the trees grew, … Continue reading Borderline
Fear
"Oh, I may be on the side of the angels, but don’t think for one second that I am one of them ….." "Yeah, and that is what makes it so difficult … the fact that you can shift positions." "Does that lessen your fear? You create your own reality, which may not be the … Continue reading Fear
Residents
The flyover gave a semblance of life to this part of town, as random vehicles sped past. People always looked for a signboard or person of some description to give an indication of the establishments in the red buildings. But the buildings just stood there majestic in their architecture, and devoid of spirit. Traffic was … Continue reading Residents
