It was the noise that woke me up. I pulled the sheets off my head and listened.
Nothing.
I got out of my bed. Treading silently on the rug, I walked to the wall, pulled the curtain aside and parted the blinds. The street lamp cast a romantic glow over the front lawn. The street was deserted.
I [...]

Snap!
January 9, 2008
The smell of death was heavy and thick. They parted to let me in to the bathroom where I assumed the deceased lay. I stood there in the doorway as my eyes fleetingly scanned. My heart felt heavy and my eyes filled.
He lay slumped against the wall. Blood that drained from his slashed wrist [...]
Healer
December 23, 2007
Strange as it might be, I felt that I was looking at a complete stranger. The person I knew had simply disappeared under the deep-set eyes and scruffy beard.
“You accepted me when I needed acceptance.
You gave me care when I needed to be cared for” he says.
Hmmm, I scoffed at the empty words and said.
“When [...]
The other side of her.

He stared at her, finding it hard to digest what she had just said.
“Are you serious?”
For a moment she raised her skeptical eyebrow. Then nodded. Yes, she was damn serious.
“Have you ever done this before?”
“Nops. C’mon. It would be fun.” She gave him one of her innocent yet mischievous smiles.
“Let see whether I really got [...]
II – FORCES
May 25, 2007

THE VALLEY OF THORNS. Chapter I – The Scorpion
April 30, 2007
And thus the world, suspended in a dull celestial womb, enclosing depths and secrets, emotions and temptations, Sin and purity – has been born.
The silence filled the air; the greens brought calmness to his impatient soul. He hadn’t met anyone on this journey – a journey to find answers hence he may predict his [...]
A Beautiful Mind
April 11, 2007
“Do you hear that?”
The skinny brown girl asked her friend. Her thick straight hair braided and tied with her school ribbon. Her deepset strong eyes wide, she looked at her friend. Both were in their school uniforms, in their classroom. They should be in the library with the other students.
“No. I can’t hear anything”, [...]
Don’t Think Of Me
March 24, 2007
The heat was unbearable. Sweat soaked my head, making my hair stick to my scalp. I had already stripped down to shorts, feeling so yucky. The walk from office was terrible. Finally home sweet home is so cool.
The doorbell rang. One of my friends, dropping in to cool herself out. I let her in. [...]
Salvation
March 13, 2007
This is it. I can’t go through this anymore. There’s no end to this; whatever I do, there’s always some fault with me. Sometimes I feel so uncomfortable when I’m close to her, always on my guard, trying not to trigger her temper off. I guess that it’s how married life is supposed to [...]
