Dogs are smart. I can bet they are smarter than some people. Have you ever seen dogs cross the road? They wait patiently with the crowd as if they know that red is a signal of a danger and green is a permission to go. Trust me, many people can’t tell the difference. They run a red light. Alone. In groups. With kids. I hate it the most when they run against the red signal with kids. Kids should not suffer because of their parents’ stupidity.

“It’s over Aaron!”

These words resonated in his head as he starred aghast at his screen. Aaron was flummoxed to say the least. To add salt to his wounds, Julia wasn’t even responding to any his replies.

Somewhere else, Julia enters her room.

“Timmy! What the hell are you doing on my computer?”

Slumping in the chair next to the bed, he watched his father and considered Camus: “Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know.”

Such emptiness in those words. Such a lack of anything, he thought.

And yet, they were a luxury.

He stood, turned off the respirator, and considered the calendar on the wall.

“I’m done. Meet ya backstage”, Eric quickly whispered. She flitted as though led by hypnotism

He pecked at her cheek

“You missed!”

Flirty conversation …Making out.. .All was quiet but for the suspiring noise.

“This is a ruddy university not your bedrooms!!”

Naturally panicking Eric said “Somebody call the ambulance. I’m on with the Heimlich maneuver”

Back from the rehab institute, she glanced at it and smiled.
She sank on the couch, ignoring the temptation. A sudden urge took over her. She was drawn towards it.

She uncorked it and took a gulp. She thought she could take more, perhaps with a new organ.
She arranged for an urgent liver transplant.

“Where are you?”
“Almost reached the station”
“Only 15 minutes more” - Anxious voice.

10 minutes: luggage placed inside.

5 minutes: His eyes still searching her.

1 minute:

Expectation..!!
And there She comes.
But train has already vanished to some distant world.
She sat on the bench crying. She has missed it. The last moment!!

Amanda was lying on the postmortem table and her body ripped open. The corpse’s foul odour soaked in ethanol was shearing the intestines devastatingly through the nostrils. The doctors were flummoxed on the brutal cold blooded murder case. They couldn’t find the clue.
Joe said, “I found it”
“What??”
“Can’t tell now, 55 words reached.”

Once you land here, u can feel that everything smells of rain. I come here only to get drenched in this pure rain. A new me is born whenever…

Shhhh…Let the clouds of pain that are hovering in your eyes take the shape of rain today.

Let you say, a true me is born today.

As a struggling writer, he’d registered for the writing workshop months back.
However as luck would have it, during the intervening months, he not only managed to get published but also made it to the NY Times bestsellers list.

No more a mere spectator, he is now attending the same workshop as a guest speaker.
