Death has no Mercy

I smashed all mirrors around me, as I could not bear the ugliness of my life and actions. I was not born to be a criminal. I was not born to cheat and kill. Circumstances made me what I am today. I stand on the border of life and death, and see no mercy or … Continue reading Death has no Mercy

A Socialite’s View

Ugh! The print on your backside, and the patterns on your shape… No wonder, your walk is labored. You need a stylist, before you hitchhike (140 characters)   Inspired by Twittering Tales #22 https://katmyrman.com/2017/03/20/twittering-tales-22-21-march-2017/ Coverpic: pexels.com

The Missing Gem

The sham that you staged rocked my life. The shamrock that you gave me, had only three leaves – standing for faith, hope and love. You said, you tried but couldn’t find the rare four-leaf clover.
