Keir crawled deeper into the shadows and settled into a familiar place – the small grimy space between the old cupboard and the dirty wall. Curled up in a small ball, and as still as the furniture next to him, the ten-year-old boy attempted to make himself invisible. Small lights, resembling deformed and ugly stars, appeared on the other side of the window. Oversized noses and monstrous foreheads pressed against the panes. Stale breath hunted for him. Yellow eyes searched for dinner while Keir w

Embraced by darkness, hidden from the light, Keir feels safe, sheltered, protected from the things that hunt him, the things he fears...

Box of Chocolates by Ieshwar “Happy Wednesday, Mon amour”, was written on the wrapped box. ‘Larry,’ Jase smiled as he thought of his half-French half-English boyfriend. Only Larry knew how to make him feel like he was the most beautiful person in the world. Jase wondered what was the reason for such an unexpected gift. But he could already hear his soft voice whispering in his ear, “Every day in love with you is worth celebrating.” That was what he always said. Jase missed him so much; right n

“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
