Coming back to life is a dream come true … for those who worked at nullifying the curse, for those who waited patiently for the unfreeze, but did not live to see this day. There is bustling life outside – humans looking different, semi-humans and robots. And the inhumans? Well, they’ve always been there, but … Continue reading The fly who escaped traps
OUT OF STOCK! Well, I cannot read the language, but perhaps it says the same. Empty shelves are testimony to it. The city has not been receiving fresh supplies for the last few days. It is the corona virus scare obstructing movement. Stock market indices are all going south. The street urchin is not sure … Continue reading Epidemics
