Princess

Czar’s nostalgia brought forth a trail of tears which dissolved in dazzling blue oceans   He saw his war-ship Black Beauty sailing over the horizon in search of a wizard to concoct potions of victory in an uncertain world   There are no enemy nations and his purple sword lies unused yet there is un-ease … Continue reading Princess

Self-inflicted

It is terrifying to see him slip into depths of insanity. Others-centeredness has destroyed his core. The youngest child raised in a large, joint family – he was taught that being good meant being obedient and servile. He always needed a god to worship, and a cult to follow. Shorn of deities after his parents … Continue reading Self-inflicted

Solitary

The hangman was called on duty after several years. Capital punishment was almost abolished in the country, till a ghastly rape-murder happened. The barbarism involved in the crime generated a powerful wave against the criminals. The hangman was being interviewed by several channels about the art and science – thickness and quality of rope used, … Continue reading The last time

Portrait
