After untiring perseverance and relentless energy, I could see the fountain, right in front of me, jetting water into the sky giving a dramatic effect that compelled me to capture the moment in my mind and in my camera, just so that it will last forever with me.

The images came out pretty good, however, one of the images had a dark silhouette passing by and I pretty much remember, there was not a single soul out there when I captured the pictures.

That made me question,does the fountain of youth actually restore the youth or does it take away life altogether for immortalityand at that very moment, I could feel a sudden chill behind me…

Scriptwriter

The backdrop is perfect for a photoshoot, but I feel several eyes piercing through my existence from the windows. It causes discomfort, but they will be witnesses to what they see here tomorrow morning. The stage is set, and the act will be executed - though I'm not the scriptwriter, but I want people to … Continue reading Scriptwriter

It’s all about consumption

“I guess we’re saying the same thing,” said a commentator who was trolled on social media. The author retorted, “It is all about how, when and where you say it.” Comments that followed …… “A manufacturer only processes, does not create anything.” “Beauty emerges after chiselling.” “Not really, it is about relevance of the final … Continue reading It’s all about consumption

Shades of meaning

“Power lies in changing the shape of the skyline”, said the star architect. “It can change in a few minutes, and go viral,” silently though the military chief. “How will it help me?” calculates the politician. A few strokes of the brush change colours, and the artist smiles, “What are the clouds made of?” “How … Continue reading Shades of meaning

I sit curled on my bed, clutching a broom, staring at the cobwebs appearing on the ceiling. I see no spiders, just cobwebs. How can that be? Where are the spiders? Cause and effect. I see the effect but what is the cause. I jump up on my bed and sweep the broom across the ceiling, yelling a battle cry as the cobwebs disintegrate and disappear from my sight. I sit down on the bed and yell in triumph and relief. I glance up and notice the cobwebs appearing again, doubling in frequency this time. They soon cover the ceiling and slowly start their descent down the wall creeping towards me.

Reena is the host for Reena’s Exploration Challenge #155.
Reena says– Horror is a genre we haven’t touched in the Exploration Challenge prompts as yet.. I make an effort to conquer my own inhibitions and discomfort with horror.Explore your psyche to see if you love something so short, or take a longer route to build up anticipation and fear.

Maria was annoyed as she entered her house, hands full of grocery bags and medical supplies. She had knocked and rang the doorbell repeatedly, waiting for her fiancé Erik to open the door. He must have fallen asleep on the first floor guest bedroom, she groused mentally.

Relieved of her burden, she went in search of her six year old. The house seemed a little quiet.
No TV, no whispering. Nothing. Was Rachel taking a nap as well?
Maria frowned. Her daughter was…
