It was the time of evening, and I was coming home from my friend’s party. I was feeling super tired at that time, so I thought I’d wait and rest at a hotel near the village.

When I was going through the different rooms, I heard the sound of a girl screaming. It Read more…

We were friends, yes, that’s a fact. But we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Spencer had been soared into studies these days. As you can guess, it’s our exam time.

Hot wind sneaked over the valley outdoor our new house as my buddies and I unpacked the van stationed on the dusty track. We had lately leased a hoary house in the city outskirts, constructed in the late 1980s. Most of the house had been renovated over the decades, but there were still hints of what the house used to be. The outside of the little mansion was coated faded orange and graced a bloody red-colored door. The lawn was outsized with luxurious olive green grass with the common Read more…
Penelope was a good student of Class 6. The teachers of her class were also very fond of her. But Penelope had one bad habit. Whenever she was asked to do something, she would take undue time to accomplish it and during all that time her excuse would be: just 1 more minute! In the morning when her mother woke her up, she would say, “Just 1 more minute.” Then she would doze off again for an hour or so. It was because of this reason that she was Read more…

Once I was at a party where I met a gang who were talking about a cool game. I joined the banter. I wanted to be cool too. I assumed what I wanted to say and stopped pinning my ears back to the discussion. Instead of enjoying the party, I was wondering about how best to show off. Finally, I blabbered something dumb about another game. I said something they forgot in a second. No one paid any attention to me. No one cared about me. I felt wretched, Read more…
