The Great Loss

    Vikrant and Tanisha went on Diwali holidays to his hometown. They were very happy to be able to travel as it had been two years since they could celebrate Diwali together due to the lockdowns and other issues. But now that the virus was on a little bit of a back foot, people relaxed a bit and life resumed normalcy a bit. People forgot to keep 2 yards distance and masks disappeared in some forgotten corner of the house. Although when they visited the markets they could see many people still wearing the masks in public, they appreciated that but didn't wear one themselves as they were vaccinated and all. 

         The days before Diwali was spent waiting for the family to assemble and then it was time to buy different things not only for the festival but for the family as well. Despite the worry about the pollution both of sound and air kind. Vikrant and his brothers still bought a few firecrackers for the babies of the family. 

              And then it was Diwali all the buildings in the colony were covered in myriad colors of lights and like every year the night was illuminated by millions of little lights and after the pooja, the candles and diyas were alighted and put across the home and other places. And then it was time for the little ones to enjoy their firecrackers. And they enjoyed the little fuljhadis and Chakri and anaar and a few rolls in their pistols as well. But soon others joined the family and everyone wished Diwali to each other. And other people burst their bombs and firecrackers. Someone brought a 5000 crackers rail and it burst with aplomb but then some came rushing towards the people and they ran along with them Vikrant's son Dishant ran as well but rather than laughing he was crying. When checked they found that the cracker had burnt his hand a bit and with that, the family Diwali was over. 

            The next day the kid was better and the burn was healing nicely. Tanisha and Dishant had to go to her parent's house for some functions so they left. Vikrant himself stayed behind as he had to attend the function and pooja at the family home.

            Meanwhile, Tanisha wasn't doing very well although the trip started well soon everyone in the family started getting ill with a fever and cold. One after the other started getting infected and the kids were affected most and all the kids were admitted to the hospital for care. Slowly everyone started recovering.

               And soon it was time to leave and Vikrant got on the train and would pick up the rest of the family the mid-journey which was the norm with them. And because it was the night train journey they all got in and slept. Although both Tanisha and Dishant were not fully well the Doctor said that they should be okay to travel. So they traveled and slept through the night. And the train got delayed a bit but then they reached their destination.

             Vikrant got up and woke up Tanisha and went to wake up their son but he didn't respond to the voice so Vikrant tried to shake his son but he tensed suddenly as he realized something strange, despite under the cover his son was very cold. Through numb fingers, he checked the body and confirmed that their son wasn't breathing anymore. And soon the train was rocked by the sobs of two parents grieving the great loss.

The Body

 "Did you see it yet?" Suraj asked Prakash excitedly 

"No, not yet, have you?" Prakash replied

"No, I am just going there, I heard that Sonu, Jigg, and Peter, saw it already," Suraj said

"So what are we waiting for let's go and take a look ourselves." Said, Prakash

Both of them followed a group of people as they rushed across the narrow road excitement clear in their voices, but also slight hesitation because of course you don't get to see such things every day. 

And thus Prakash and others reached the field and there it was the body of a dead guy. Nobody knew how long the body was there in the field but it was naked and the skin had darkened completely, eye sockets were empty and the mouth was open in a dying scream and most peculiar of all one of his hands was holding his penis. 

No one knew how he had died or who he was but as soon as kids saw their first dead body they left, some crying, some in fear, and some in excitement. Most of them will have nightmares about it for the next few weeks.

After all, it's not every day that you get to see a dead body in the field.

The Start of Something

     She stood in front of the mirror, she wasn't yet ready to look at herself in the mirror so she was looking down. She had just broken up with her boyfriend and it was over another petty issue but he had hit her. And that was it. But she was still sad after all emotions are stupid they don't understand the logic. 

    She wasn't sure if she was able to get over the pain ever. She had finally stopped crying after two days but she could still feel like crying and hence she found herself in front of the mirror. Suddenly she noticed a razor and her hand grasped it. And there was the start of an idea, a thought half formed, she never thought that she would ever do something like that but now she felt like she had to try at least once. 

    A small sound escaped her lips as the blade scratched against her skin. She didn't know what she was doing but it felt right. She didn't want a deep cut so at first, she did a shallow quick cut and for a few seconds nothing happened but the skin cracked a bit, and then a little red appeared and a small stream of blood started and she felt her sadness disappear in her pain. She made a few more experimental cuts and now she didn't feel that sad and though she wasn't close to happiness, she wanted anything but sadness. And this was the start of something beautiful for her.

Postmen

        Messengers used to be very important in the ancient world as they were the only way to pass information to others over a long distance. As time passed, people started using other ways to transfer information, at first, it was pigeons, and for a long time that continued. As time passed, people set up post service to send communication over a long distance. Postmen were very important during all of the 19th and 20th centuries and especially during the first and second world wars.

        And as the internet was used more and as mobile communications improved people were able to connect to each other instantly, post office and postal officials were used less to transfer letters but rather to ship items now and people were less and less dependent on postmen for transferring their letters as they could communicate with each other.

        And then after couple hundred years, even that task was handled by drones and robots. People were now not dependent on other people for receiving their packages and letters on other people. Communication was instant for many years now and now the packages were received instantly or rather way quicker than in the past. Now the postmen were no longer required and the post office was now handled by the robots. The world was fully automated humans are totally dependant on machines and most of the tasks were now handled by robots.

            It was theorized for a long time that solar flares can be very harmful to the earth but so far we got lucky but no more as in quick successions and without any warnings, solar flares reached closer and closer to the earth and fried up all the equipment set up on the moon, then even bigger flare rose up to destroy all the various satellites in the earth's atmosphere. And just like that, all the services came to a halt no phones, no Internet, no GPS. This caused more and more issues and without the internet, the public utilities failed that were being handled by robots and over the Internet. Electricity went out all over in some time. The world went dark almost in a blink. Now it was like people were back in the dark ages but they had no experience of how to survive on their own.

            All the countries experienced rapid deaths as people panicked and rioted and before things can be brought under control. Almost 2 Billion people were lost around the world during this time. Even more, people were lost as there was suddenly a scarcity of food and other resources. But soon enough people realized that they would have to come and work together to survive. The entire society was back to a standstill with no travels and communications over a long distance.

        With time people started working together and to build their infrastructure as per 18th-19th century standards. They also worked to set up the postal network again and thus the importance of Postmen was restored.

                

Quiet Evenings

         Rashmi and Rohan were married for five years now. Like the most married couples who were working, they were also busy in the humdrum of daily life. The entire week spent in the office work and after that few episodes of some series or a movie and then sleep. The same cycle repeated over many weeks. Till they couldn't even find few moments for each other.

    Then due to the pandemic both of them had to work from home, now they were together but still busy with work, as strangely the work increases when you are working from home but soon like all the routines they also get in the new routine. 

      And then the unthinkable happened there was a big storm and the Internet and cellphone services went down all throughout the area. And suddenly there was no work from home, no streaming content, no social network, nothing just two stunned people who didn't know what to do with their time. It was quiet all around and both Rashmi and Rohan decided it was the perfect time to enjoy some time together without any interruptions. For some time they listened to few songs they had available offline and danced together they were glad to have some time together at last. 

    They were able to enjoy few quiet evenings bereft of all the disruptions, it was a staycation which both of them enjoyed lost in each other and perfect silence when they needed it and they promised to find time for each other and not to let the daily grind keep them apart.

Robert Rishabh Rustam Rehmat

Based on prompt from Writing-Prompt-s

Fout roommates are extraterrestrials who have taken human form in the hopes of learning about Earth's culture. Unfortunately, each alien is from a different planet and believes the other three are normal humans.

        We all suspect that we might not be alone in the universe and that the aliens exist but what if we don't know about them is that they may be living amongst us without our knowledge. Let's assume that the aliens have advanced technology or they have evolved like Skrulls in MCU to be able to take whatever form they like.

        In fact, this is the way and I know for a fact that at least 4 aliens are living with us and each one of them is from a different planet. The first one is called Robert and he is from planet Q'than, the Second one is called Rishabh and he is from planet Butphan, the third one is called Rustam and he is from planet Milllitum and the last one is called Rehmat and he is from planet Zollathem. And now here's the wrinkle they all are friends and roommates but each one thinks about the other three are humans and thus thinks that they are the only alien on the planet Earth.

        Each has a mission to learn more about the Earth's culture and each one tries to focus on the other three in hopes to learn more about the people of earth but the mission isn't going well as they all are clueless about the Earth's culture themselves.  All are playing the roles of 20 something slackers, staying at home smoking, drinking, and playing games after all those can tell a little about humans too. They very worried about humans after playing games like Halo and Doom where you are tasked with killing tonnes of aliens, thankfully those aliens didn't look like them. They all excelled at puzzle games due to their advanced analytical knowledge but still, they didn't know how to behave with other humans and they all believe them to spoiled young ones who are only interested in parties and fun.

        Rishabh was sitting alone on the balcony observing the people downstairs and thinking about his home he was feeling homesick but he was a good soldier and understood his duties but after living with the others for over a year and observing them he wasn't anywhere close to understanding humans. Rishabh was mulling if he should let three humans living him about the truth.

    Rehmat was sitting on the bench in the park enjoying the evening and of course, noticing the people he didn't understand why would people waste time by just slowly walking around rather than doing something positive. Rehmat had decided to let his roommates know that he wasn't a human and in fact from a different planet.

        Rustam was exercising and running laps around he had a great body and he was maintaining the body and he felt good when people came to him asking him about his schedule and the food etc. this told Rustam that Earth's people paid attention to certain properties, over the months Rustam had made little adjustments to his looks and now he had a boyish face with a body with hulking muscles but that was easy the difficult thing was to learn more about the Earth's culture. Rustam finally decided to bring his roommates the three human brothers in the knowledge that he was from another planet. 

       Robert liked to go to the supermarket to observe people and to monitor the kind of food people of Earth ate and he then bought his food later. Today Robert was walking through the aisles with the shopping trolley and as always felt baffled by all kinds of strange food items available in the market, Robert also always asked his roommates for the items they wanted but they always asked some random products and he wasn't sure about their preferences. Today, Robert was deep in thoughts and he had decided that he would tell his roommates the truth and would ask them for help to learn more about the Earth's culture.

     In the evening all roommates are sitting around watching Netflix, Rustam pauses the show and says that he has something important to discuss, the other three also said that they also had something important to tell the others. 

    Rustam started slowly, "I don't want you to be afraid or alert but I wanted to tell you a secret and would want to ask for your help. I am from a different planet and was sent to learn about Earth's culture I want your help in me to understand more about Earth"

     Rustam looked around and noticed that Robert, Rishabh, and Rehmat all sat in stunned silence looking at Rustam.

      Rustam said, "Guys, I want to assure you that my mission is a civil one and we don't want to hurt anyone, please say something."

    Rishabh said, "Wow, Rustam okay here goes, I won't say but show" and changes his form to his original form.

      "What you too, exclaimed Robert and Rehmat"

Rehmat began, "Actually!" and changed his form too and Robert also changed his form and finally, Rustam also changed himself to his original form, and now all the roommates were looking at each other and they all started laughing at the strange luck that all of them ended up together. 

      Now that all of them knew the truth they finally discussed their worlds with each other and finally felt at ease with their roommates. They finally decided to work together and share their reports with each other. Finally, Robert, Rishabh, Rustam, and Rehmat knew the truth and started working together.

Remember Me?

        Another day, same dream, someone unknown asking the same question, Remember Me? Of course, her face isn't clear after all that's how the dreams turn out to be. I have to say dreams sure are strange but, don't people say that dreams are based on your experiences and your sub-conscience mind.

       Whatever it might be, it sure strange to see the same dream multiple times, and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't remember more of the dream just the same question from the unknown girl, Remember Me?

       Who was she? I keep on mulling over the question and I lay awake through the night thinking about the dream and finally as the morning crept along I was finally able to fall asleep. Still, the question kept with me, Remember Me?

        Of course, I don't remember I don't have even a little bit of idea who could she be, what can I do? I can't search through the city to try to find the girl, the question is remember me? so is she someone whom I already know but forgot about? There are no answers and all I could do is to wait and dream some more and to watch the same dream, days after days and the girl asking, Remember Me?

Someday

       Rahul had a dream, he wanted to be a writer and to write a best-selling novel, all he was waiting for the idea to strike him.

     Rahul didn't want to write another love story, that was the focus of almost every second book published in India. But it's very difficult to create something new, and almost all the stories are now derivative of original ideas.

     In the meantime, Rahul kept on reading other books to get a better understanding of how a story should continue. And just like that few years passed but Rahul was not near the idea for a book but he had written many short stories and was working on a few ideas.

     Finally, Rahul has started working on his book, the story will be a sci-fi fantasy tale set in the near future and he is positive that someday soon the book would be finished and people will enjoy his writing.

The Chase

           He stopped for a second to take a deep breath, after all, he was running now for some time. He didn't know what or who was behind him, he just sensed and he started running.

He was adept at running after all he was an orphan who naturally drifted to the life of crime and was forever running, from rival gangs, from police, from other enemies. 

He had reasons to be worried about others, for he had finally decided to steal a lot of money from his boss and run away. He hoped that nobody would identify him in the new town but you can never be sure.

The person who is on run believes that everybody is hunting him, and he had no doubt people were chasing him to drag him in front of the Boss. 

He tried relaxing as it looked like that he ran for nothing, he couldn't see anyone chasing him, but he still couldn't afford to relax too much. Now he started to slowly walk to ensure that he didn't draw too much attention. 

He reached the run-down hotel he was hiding in and entered his room and ordered food from the nearby dhaba. He silently ate his dinner and turned off the light and tried to sleep and he drifted to sleep.

                        ------------------------

The hunter watched his prey all through his panicked run and he followed as his prey went towards his hideout. The hunter continued the watch, hunter made sure to intercept the food delivery to mix the sedative to the food. 

The hunter waited for his prey to eat the food and to sleep and then entered the room silently. Hunter smirked a little as he noticed his prey lying in front of him. Hunter searched and found the bag filled with the money. 

Now that the money was recovered, the hunter moved to the next part, he grabbed his knife and slit the throat of his prey. The chase was over.

Happy Holi

It was the last shift before everyone left for the day and the next day was Holi so everyone shook hands with each other and wished them, Happy Holi. The actual problem started when they tried to open the door to leave. Despite multiple tries, the door just wouldn't open. The housekeeping guy called the admin team and worked with them trying to resolve the issue. But even after multiple people trying their hands on the issue the door just wouldn't stop showing the red light and kept on closed. The final solution was thought to cut off the main power as it releases the doors and it was done so.

But the gate still didn't open and along with the emergency lights, the office floor was filled with a cloud of fine dust coming out of the Air Conditioner duct which caused everyone to sneeze and cough violently. And then the voice blared through the floor:

"Ladies and gentlemen, how are you doing? You are the last 20 people to leave the office but now you are dependent on me. The gate wouldn't open till I am entertained completely and all the others who are watching you live. The rules are simple - You all are locked in the office but only one of you will leave here, The gas you just inhaled will kill you all in 3 hours. So do the easy thing, just kill all your colleagues let's play Holi with the blood and the last man/woman standing would be allowed to leave as the champion and would also be given the antidote for the poison. So what are you guys waiting for - Start Killing."

Absolute Silence on the floor

And then the mayhem began initially people just pushed their nearest neighbor around or punched them lightly but soon people panicked and the first to fall was Aman whose head was smacked in the pillar till his brain matter drooped to the floor.

Poonam lost her head when a couple of her colleagues picked and dropped her neck first on the glass partition. Samrat had his head snapped from behind.

Rachna ran quickly to the cafeteria and returned with two knives in both the hands and soon she carved up Ram and Tarun. Next to go was Hemraj who was stabbed 50 times by Rachna. 

However, while Rachna was busy stabbing Hemraj people grabbed her hands from behind and she was promptly disarmed by people working in tandem and then quickly lost her head courtesy of some quick work by her teammates. After finishing Rachna, Priya and Gagan quickly jumped back and worked to finish off others. 

Gagan lost his knife when a UPS came crashing on his head and departed with his life courtesy of  Shyam from the housekeeping department. Shyam picked up the knife and then wreaked havoc on the remaining people.

Priya had her back turned when she sensed something moved slightly which caused the CPU to fell down harmlessly but Priya didn't allow Manjeet to go any further. 

And soon only Priya and Shyam were left standing, both were covered in blood and looked like they actually played Holi with the blood and only an hour had passed. They both eyed each other warily as they were tired too but they were full of adrenaline having killed most of their office mates.

With a roar, both ran towards each other and for a second it seemed like both were a match and the contest will go on for some time but Shyam slipped a little on a puddle of blood and that's all the time Priya needed and her blade found it's home in Shyam's skull and Priya was the last one standing. 

She left her knife embedded where it was and ran towards the door which was unlocked now. And as she stepped out of the door she stumbled and fell down never to rise again and she didn't even hear the voice which said:

"Oh! I forgot to tell you the poison works in a little over an hour, not three hours it was a little lie to see how quickly you work. It seems you guys didn't work fast enough. Alas! what a pity."

The next morning the papers were filled with the tales of the bloody Holi which left more than 22 dead and no one to tell the tale the CCTV footage just showed people standing around the gate then they just went mad. There was no sound in the cameras that would've recorded the message. It was very well planned and the villains were free to wreak havoc another day.

Cursed

AB was zooming in his new car on the road, he was happy, after all he was able to buy his dream car an Audi and job was also going on great. Life was a dream which he was living to the fullest. He was lost humming to the song and enjoying the drive.

Suddenly he had to brake furiously as a cycle rider appeared in his lane and despite his efforts he hit the cycle with enough force to throw him to a short distance. It looked like that the guys house was just near the road , because as soon as the guy fell some people ran to the guy and tried to help him. AB was out of the car as well obviously it wasn't his mistake but he was also scared and was silently praying that the guy was alive. And to his relieve though the guy was in obvious pain he was live. A woman in dirty clothes look up to him with seething disgust and anger. AB tried explaining to them that it wasn't his mistake and the guy should've seen the car. 

"The guy seem to have weaker bones." Remaked AB

Now the woman was clearly seething and spoke with such anger and menace that AB took few steps back

"What do you think that since you are in a car, you own the road? Eh, talk about weaker bones, I curse you that have you would know how the weak bones break! Go now I don't want to look that your face." Shouted the woman probably the injured guy's mom

AB was thankful to be able to get away from there, he gave them some money and get back in his car. He wasn't too worried about the curse etc. as he was an educated guy and didn't believe in such things as magic or curses. AB called his office and explained that he would be little late and reached his office.

AB had already forgotten about the guy and was lost in his work soon enough. Come lunchtime AB had his lunch and got back to his room but soon his stomach started making some weird noises maybe he was having some reaction to the food, thought AB as he took some antacid to relax his stomach. And soon he was okay but his 6th sense was still tingling with some unknown dread.

Soon AB had to go to the washroom owing to his upset stomach. Having done his business AB got out and cleaned his hands and as he turned his right hand hit the urinal glass and a sheer pain travelled through his hands and he shouted in surprise and pain. He looked at his hand dumbly which was twisted at an unusual angle. And then his body started twitching and soon he fell and his head hit the counter and he never got up.

After some time someone else decided to go to the washroom as soon as they opened the gate they turned, started screaming and vomited on the floor. The police was called in, the inspector came with two constables. They peaked in and both the constables turned and emptied their lunches as the previous guy had. The inspector barely controlled himself and looked at the strange sight in front of his.

The guy was obviously dead but the strange fact was that there was no skeleton inside the dead body and it was deflated like the balloon. A mother's curse had come true and his weak bones evaporated from his body like dust.


I know I haven't been as regular as I could've have been but I am trying. So, do share your precious feedback about your Story-Teller's latest effort.

The Shooting

The Deer raised it's head and looked around as it sensed that something was around, but it didn't see anyone and resumed it's feeding.

He was hidden in the bushes just few meters away from the deer. The air was flowing against him so the deer couldn't smell him. 

The deer continued feeding and soon a baby joined it in the feeding. They continued feeding and soon the baby started playing too.

This was the moment he was waiting, he took the aim and pressed the button, silent shooting on and captured pictures after pictures of the wonderful scene.

Deer moved in the forest and soon they were gone away from the sight.

He didn't worry much he had already gotten with wanted shots and the shooting session was a success. He moved out of the bushes and moved ahead to look for other scenes were shooting.

The Beauty

I had seen her coming from a long way away, I mean how could I not, she is a looker after all and all I am, is a poor schmuck, going through the daily grind of life. 

Look at the luck out of all the offices in the building she had to come to the same office where I worked. Now it wasn't that I was interested in her or attracted towards her, hey I am already married it was just curiosity. 

Well her name is Rekha and after few days we became "Friends" or "Acquaintance" and all was fine till it wasn't. There was something off about Rekha, whenever anyone called her she wouldn't respond for sometime like she didn't know her own name or something like that, but what do I know.

I truly have wretched luck, well I had to travel to a different city due to some personal tasks and what do I see but Rekha's faces on posters around the station and city but on wanted posters only here her name was "Rukhsana" or something but I could never forget that face. I did the only thing I could, I called the number mentioned and informed the same to the police. Immediately a team of police officers went back to my city and arrested Rekha sorry Rukhsana right in front of the entire office, HR department was in hell as they were duped with the false documents. 

As it turns out Rukhsana was part of a terror outfit and had run away from the town and all the members of the gang had assumed false identity and joined different offices in the city and they were looking to cause some blasts on the Independence Day but thankfully due to my lead and Rukhsana's arrest, Police was able to unravel the mystery and catch everyone before the terrorists could do anything.

I was hailed as a hero and awarded by the authorities and although I did my duty as citizen why was I not happy? Ah the poor beauty.

You are not here

Dad,

             I wanted to write you this letter for a long time. If you remember it was a long time ago that you left us. I still remember your words like it was yesterday, 

"You make me miserable, I can't live in this house any longer." 

 

And you had walked away, I find it hard to believe that you forgot us but how can I answer the fact that you haven't called, visited or sent any mails to us since you left. You are not here but the problems are. 

 

Mom hasn't been herself since you left, I had to grow up overnight at the age of 13, Didn't I deserve to be a kid for a little longer, didn't I need my dad but you were not here. You left and never came back but with your absense we had to face all the difficulties alone. For a long time, he had little to no money. Then Mom started some work and that's how we survived. 

But how would you know all that, You are not here, why aren't you here? Where did you go? Why didn't you ever visit us? Don't you remember us any more? Did we do anything wrong? You are not here but you left us all the people who chased us for the money you owed them. 

You are not here but the cracks in the wall are there which cried for repairs but we barely survived and there's wasn't even enough money to eat both the times. How could we spare the money on un-necessary things like repair. I try to forget but can't forget the sight of you lying on the floor, cluching your chest, after you said those words. Doctor said you had a heart attack. You left us and never even visited us in dreams. You are not here, you left us alone in this cruel world. 

Your Son

News from the Future

Agency: 14 July 2516 - The HOTTEST New Dish in town

A new dish has everyone rushing to this hot new destination but alas! most go in vain as the owner only serve the dish to cricketers and that too only visiting teams who visit Jamaica in West Indies. After all the restaurant is called Gayle's is managed by Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grand son of Jamaican cricketer Chris Gayle.

The dish is called "Juvenile male thrubs in curry" this tasty dish has International crickets from across the world pushing their boards for a tour to West Indies and as well as thanking their stars to be playing cricket in this age where most of the other games are played by the robots.

We spoke with Gayle's owner Thomas Gayle IV who told us that the dish uses only the male juvenile thrubs as the female juvenile thrubs are not at all eatable and they are ultimately used to reproduction so that the males can be used for food. Females give birth to about 5000 larvaes at a time and out of which about 90% are male. Only juveniles can be used for food as the adult males are also inedible due to high salt content in their body, as they grow they accumulate salt in their bodies. Females as we all know are slimy to begin with and grow to be jelly like.

This  species crash landed on our earth aboard a small asteroid which crashed near West Indies and soon they made the West Indies their home and the world got their new favorite meal.

This starts hopefully my new feature called "News from the Future" though which I am trying to bring my imagination to a new era:

Special Agent Dhruv

Dhruv was only five years old so as you may guess, he was only a kid. But he was super smart.

Dhruv was super active and was studying in the first class.

It was another cold night and everybody was asleep in their bedrooms.

Suddenly Dhruv was woken up due to some sound from the hall downstairs.

Dhruv silently moved to his parents bedroom but they were asleep, he tried to wake them up but to no avail.

Dhruv didn't panic and instead looked for his dad's mobile and quickly picked it and dialed 100 and talked quietly and quickly to the police officer on the line.

Within 10 minutes the police vehicle was outside their house and police officers covered the house, and entered the house to find 4 thieves in the hall trying to find valuables.

They were quickly picked by police and sent to police station, Inspector Rahul Makhija walked to the upstair rooms and spoke with Dhruv, who thanked the Inspector and told  him that his parents were not responding.

Rahul quickly moved to the bedroom to check the parents but they were only unconcious.

Rahul went downstairs and spoke with the thieves, they had sprayed chloroform through the second floor room ventilation.

Soon Dhruv's parents gained consciousness and when they learned about the bravery and intelligence of Dhruv they hugged him and thanked Inspector Makhija.

Next day Newspapers were full with the praises of Dhruv and details on the incident. India's Republic Day had to be celebrated next month and Dhruv's name was nominated for the bravery award.

On the 26th of January Dhruv was presented with the bravery award by the President of India while everyone clapped, his parents sat in the front row with all the other proud parents.

Later President called all the brave kids to a dinner at the President's house and he formally inducted all of them in a latest initiative the Kids Angels who were going to be the new face of intelligence and Secret Service in Country.

Plain old Dhruv was now Special Agent Dhruv and thus his new life began.

Office Office

He reached office right on time, and sat on his desk as usual. He checked his email and checked the data and get on with his work. He had to create some reports so he was busy in them. He got a ping from his manager.

He entered his manager's cabin after few minutes. Manager was cross with him and furious with team about an email sent by an irate customer who wasn't at all happy with the work which was done for him. He patiently listen to his manager and gave short answers.

He got out from the cabin and sent an email to his team, there would be a meeting in about an hour's time. Till the meeting it was the work as usual, at the time of the meeting, entire team moved to the meeting room. He was already waiting for them there.

He told them about the mail from the customer and gave them a piece of his mind as well. He shouted a bit and asked some questions, his team mumbled through their answers. Then it was just a general round of useless tasks and some pats on the backs, some words of encouragement and positive work and all. Everybody came out of the training room smiling and some with sad faces and continued their work.

What else could he do? He was a manager too. What he got he promptly gave to his team as well. Office as usual.

Sameer thought that because the cloth was fancy yellow lint free cloth that's why it disappeared so quickly, this time he picked a dirty old vest and it stayed with his bike for few days but eventually it disappeared as well.

This did the trick but after few months some brave soul nicked that too.

Sameer again picked an old brief but it's stay with bike was also brief and it promptly disappeared the first day as well.

Sameer pretty much said "Fuck It!!!!" and forgot all about keeping a cloth with the bike. That's impossible in our great India.

Now Sameer keeps the cloth safe inside his home and cleans the before leaving from home and now use cloth from other bikes to clean his bike in office but he always remembers to return the cloth to the bike and also to wash his hands after the ordeal.

When you are riding a bike the cloth becomes a revered item because there are too many Sameers who have all lost faith in humanity as they have lost their dirtiest of clothes are also stolen from their bikes.

Passion

Today was something different, this started with the beautiful weather with clouds and cool wind. It had even rained for a bit which further spread the wonderful smell of earth.

He stirred and seeked her ... she was still asleep, but not completely.

He rolled over and covered her with his body and smelled her hair.

He moved his hand over her flawless body which was radiating under the morning sun rays which were streaming through the window.

She opened her eyes a little purred a little "Good Morning" and closed her eyes again and moaned as his hands kept on playing with her body.
She turned and their lips found each other and shared a long passionate kiss so begin their day.

He showered her with kisses and she giggled as she was tickled. Things were getting hotter by the seconds and as clock ticked and he licked so their passion kept on rising.

While their lips were busy kissing their hands were busy exploring all the familiar parts of their lover's body.

Soon they shed what ever little cloths they were wearing as part of their night wear and they were rolling all over the bed making mess of the bedsheet. 

They rolled away from each other to the different ends of the bed and appreciatively looked at each other's bodies of course she was fitter than him but he was not bad looking at all.

And then they rolled towards each other and met each other like two tornadoes meeting and the passion erupted like a volcano.

They caressed and kissed each other everywhere on the body, they twisted and they turned and then they were 6 & 9 to form 69 they sucked and they licked,

They moved again and she got on top of him and rode him and then he pushed her down and took her from behind. Both were moaning with pleasure and calling each other's name.

Now she was below him and he was thrusting fast and slow and she was moving her body with the rhythm. He increased his speed as he neared the release and as he reached his orgasm they both held each other tightly and rocked slowly.

He withdrew and then seeing that she hadn't come yet started licking and kissing her once again and within moments she was again shouting with pleasure and soon she shivered and lay there panting. Both were spent and wet with sweat but they were content and happy and their passion was alive.

She moved closure to him and snuggled with him and both said together

"Happy Anniversary, My Love"

Note:- So as promised here's is something way different then my normal stories. So I attempted to write an erotica short story hopefully it didn't get too vulgar and sufficiently sensual. So away from the hold of morbid and in the arms of Passion.

Blank Page

He sat staring at the screen, word processor was open on his laptop but the page was blank.

Along with the page, his mind was empty as well.

He wanted to write something but nothing came to his mind.

He sat still with his hands on the keyboard, but his fingers would not move.

He wanted to achieve something, wanted to write something anything, but.

His mental block was such that not even a single word would come to the front of this mind.

His frustration was increasing by the minute, he came close to throwing laptop hard at the wall.

But we reined in his emotions and took a deep breath.

He thought to the last day and tried to remember something which would goad him to write something, anything.

Suddenly he remembered her, saw her perfectly like she was still standing right in front of him.

His fingers moved on the keyboard - "I saw an angel in the market yesterday"

She was an angel and her beauty mesmerized him, she was breathtaking in every sense of the word.

She stood basking in the sun light glistening under the sun rays, he took a step towards her.

And she was blown to pieces by the blast and he was thrown back by the shock wave.

She was an angel and God called her back to him, he deleted the lines from the screen.

He sat staring at the blank page on the screen while the tears dropped from his eyes.


Note - Hopefully his days will get better and my stories too :) ;) I know my stories may be macabre most of the times but you know how it is you write what comes to your mind. Hopefully some bright stories may be brewing in my mind somewhere.
