“It has come,” he said quietly, as loud noises shook everything. I looked at him, just like I did every night. Yet, as always, it seemed like the first time. Until tonight I had never noticed the small wrinkles that had formed on his handsome face. Or, perhaps, I had seen them before but had subconsciously ignored them. Who wouldn’t under those spellbinding green eyes? They weren’t truly green, but some sort of ethereal grayish-green – with an unworldly spark. If I had to write my life story,

Quire knocked at the door and waited. He really had no idea why he was here, though the little pessimist inside him was screaming, ‘Danger’. Gulping, he glanced upwards and his small eyes fell on the huge, ancient castle. ‘United Nest of Golden Wings’ was written in gold letters, still glinting after centuries. But the walls of stones with thick ivy creeping on them were nothing like a nest. In fact, if he had to choose, he would say that it looked more like a prison. The door opened and a snow

Chapter 4 People flowed into the huge wedding hall through the oak doors where a few boys and girls stood, welcoming the guests. Inside, the colorful garlands of flowers brought forth the beauty of the place, with stunning bouquets placed here and there. Oriental songs complimented the festive atmosphere with their musical input. A few volunteers were serving the thirsty and hungry guests with drinks and sweets. The women, laden with all manner of jewelry and finely draped in their bright saree

Chapter 3 “You have come at the right moment, my son,” Jay’s father said as he hugged Ryan, “Jay’s marriage has just been finalized for next week.” Ryan searched for an explanation in Jay’s eyes but when he didn’t find any, his puzzled expression turned into one of hurt. “Won’t you introduce us to your friend, Jay?” Arjun asked. “Yeah, this is Ryan, my…best friend. We have been sharing the same apartment for three years. And Ryan, this is my elder brother, Arjun

Chapter 2 Returning to one’s home after four years was a delight. It was like traveling back in time and entering childhood again. Each step, each walk revealed a forgotten memory: the little tomb where Jay had buried his pet dog, Tuffy, the park where he had learnt to ride a bicycle, and the bush behind which he had his first and last cigarette… The place had changed a bit through time though, just like Jay. Big malls and supermarkets replaced the tiny shops at the corner of

Chapter 1 Jay sighed as he felt the cold water run down his body. There was nothing better than a cold shower to completely wake up. Jay glanced down at his stomach and saw several pink marks. Hickies! It seemed that he would never get rid of these marks. He always thought of stopping Ryan when the latter nibbled his stomach but it felt so good that he simply couldn’t. Ryan! He smiled as he thought of his boyfriend. Ryan was not perfect; he had his qualities and his flaws. But he was that

** Thud Thud ** Jake desperately tried to ignore the loud thumping downstairs. He had to find a place to hide in this desolate room. ** Thud Thud ** He had to! He had to! He had to!!! ** Thud Thud ** The sound of soldiers coming up painfully echoed in his ears as he tried to calm himself. Apart from the bed and chair, there was a creaky closet on his right that seemed would fall apart at any moment. ** Thud Thud ** It was really risky but he had no other choice. He cautiou

“Congratulations, Mr. Andrews,” the nurse beamed as she gently placed the bundle in Sean’s arms, “you’ve become the father of a cute little baby-boy!” The seventeen-year-old father smiled as he carefully took the small baby. The child felt like a ball of joy, which repelled all negative thoughts. All the tensions and problems Sean was thinking about melted away as he cradled his son inside his arms. The baby was so tiny that Sean feared that he might break him. He grinned as he saw th

Nathan licked his lips as the aroma of the coffee filled the kitchen. ‘Nothing like a cup of coffee to start the day,’ he thought as he sipped the black strong liquid. He loved summer holidays - no worries about classes, roommates or work. He could just relax! It was good that he decided to spend the holidays at home. He really missed his family, especially Chris. ‘Think of the devil and here he comes,’ Nathan chuckled to himself as he heard footsteps enter the kitchen. “Morning, Nate!” Ch

Location: Starbridge Train Station, Time: 16h 00. “Tyler has invited me to his party. I heard that only his closest friends would be coming. You think he’ll propose there? He has been sending signals for a few days. I don’t know what to do. What do you think of him?” Simone asked excitedly to her best friend, Ashley, completely unconscious of the dilemma she just put her friend in. Simone was a rather sensitive girl who lived in a world of her own. She looked at the real

BeyBe Beyond the Threshold By Ieshwar Amrita lowered the bundle of grass from her head to the ground and sat down. She loved coming here, especially at this time of the day. The scene was so awe-inspiring. The rising sun- so round, so small, so bright- looked just like the bindi in the forehead of a woman. The huge mountains on either side could, as well, be two closed eyes. Everyone heard of Mother Nature but here, Amrita saw her: silent, still and draped in the dark veil

Once upon a blizzard by ieshwar As an ambulance driver, I doubt anyone has seen more tragic events than I have witnessed. Life has been filled with adventures for me - depressing tragedies, miraculous recoveries and some unbelievable happenings. Today, when I sit with my grandchildren to tell one of my stories, I am able to choose from many incidents, but I still remember that day, that terrible blizzard, that had shaken me completely. I have probably told the story many times but I

Little Raindrop By Ieshwar Little Raindrop sat on the edge of the cloud and gazed ahead, lost in thought. Questions plagued her, harder than ever. Where was she going to fall? When was she going to fall? Was she even going to fall? Time trickled by yet no answers came. All of her friends, younger and older alike, were gone. Some of the maiden raindrops, with whom she had started her journey last spring, had jumped one day during the sunrise. She watched as they fulfilled

Alkier By Ieshwar Memories of his family were sparse and very distant. All he recalled was that last day with them. The images were hazy with distorted shadows. It was a painful day about which he didn’t like to reminisce. The only part he remembered clearly was being dragged by a strong hand, probably that of Barakas. He was just a toddler who had barely started walking. He was doing his best to stop the hand; he had thrown himself on the ground, beating it with his

Born on the Night of Feathered Serpent, Alkier was raised for one single pupose. To be sacrificed on his eleventh birthday.
