The Ghost Train

I had the oddest feeling of apprehension as I entered the ghost train. Horror was a subject I had to tackle for the next TV show. Yet, horror was not new to me. The horror of surprises thrown by unexpected human conduct, the horror of being fleeced by the noblest medical profession in times of need and the … Continue reading The Ghost Train

Freshness

I’ve spent a week with her, whiling away time on coffee and endless chatter. Ans the repetition is appalling. There is not a single story or sentence I’ve not heard before.Is this what a cloistered existence does to people? How do they manage to close all windows? I come away with a conclusion - the … Continue reading Freshness

Markets

"Why do so many people migrate to other countries, and why are there so many who decide they won’t?" "It is all about the rules of the market place, and what suits you better." "Hmmmm…. I guess I want to be a buyer than a commodity." https://only100words.xyz/2020/09/03/three-line-tales-240/

As stories go…

The hurried walks through this street when she was late in the morning, the stroll after lunch and maybe a quick drink after work. The … Continue reading Missing

He thought the matter had been closed la few weeks ago. “You are under arrest.” The tone was terse, and there was no other option than getting in the jeep with the police team. A few hours later…. “We have traced out deleted chats from a number which was … Continue reading Dark secrets

What was it?

Untouched books crowded his shelves, shiny leather spines and faded first editions, meticulously dusted and never read. She wondered how long it had been, and what had happened in his life after she left. Those days and nights of reading, and long evenings of deep discussions were still fresh in her mind. She had become … Continue reading What was it?

End of a dream

A vision in pale yellow floated through the park. This is my new neighbour, Miss Daisy. I would’ve named her Sunflower though. As if on cue, she turned towards me and smiled. I guess I missed the acerbic expression in her eyes. “I heard some noise yesterday, and your house help sneaked in on the … Continue reading End of a dream
