Downpour

The rain poured down mercilessly, as if the sky was unloading a heavy burden. Fat angry drops of rain bulleting their way on to the parched earth. There has been no electricity for about a month now, no news or contact to the outside world. We had no clue of what was going on out […]

Roaches in Neon – Part 3

It’s been 4 days since my steamy pool encounter with Green Jacket Lady, and I’ve been on the lookout for her – I even asked the vile waitress if she had seen her, she just scowled at me. What she said about the Motel not being what it seems is eating me up…and her having […]

Fractal Alignment

Day 1 I looked out at space through the window spanning the length of the corridor. I’ve always wanted to be here, ever since I was a kid – in space, solving its mysteries… The humdrum of cold electronics of this shell of a space station will be my day to day soundtrack. It was […]

Roaches in Neon – Part 2

I have been here for 3 days now…a few new faces pop up and leave, I have been eating the disgusting food from the diner as I had no other choice and the next restaurant is around two miles away and I have no transport. The owner could care less; I tried lodging a complaint […]

Roaches in Neon – Part 1

I looked at the entrance of the rickety motel, the huge neon sign flickering in the background like some kind of ominous warning. I don’t care much for things like that, I know people who will avoid such places – paranoid losers – besides, I’m broke and this is all I can afford at the […]

The Punishment

I watched him from over my steering wheel. That purposeful gait to the front door from his car, he was definitely a golden boy, everywhere he went people loved him, his parents’ pride. It was beginning to get dark now; I checked my watch – 6:30pm – right on schedule. I have been planning this […]

Innocent Forever

My mistress was so pretty, dressed in her little corset and pretty lace dresses. There is never a moment I spend away from her, always at her side ready to do her bidding, “Fetch my umbrella”, I would fetch it, “Tighten the corset more”, I would do it. Though it may look like I am […]

Strawberries

Why did I do it? Same as why I ate my aunt’s strawberries. They beckoned me, their dimpled red skin glistening. I couldn’t resist the urge to just pick one up, admire its gleam and place it on my tongue – almost ritualistic. Pushing it flat against the roof of my mouth and feel the […]

The Offering

Crow’s feet. Her eyes stared back at her from the mirror, and there they were – wrinkles beginning to form in the corners of her eyes. She couldn’t bare their ugliness, ruining her perfect face. She broke her gaze finally. Picked up her powder compact and delicately applied it on her face with a brush. […]
