Short Story
A Terrible Karma.
It was two years ago that my cousin married a former prostitute. She was those type of runs-girl that you book online and have them sent to your hotel room. Of course, before he married her, he made her promise to stop sleeping with other men. Now, a year after they married, my cousin suspected his wife to be meeting other men. So, what did he do? He hired an online hitman to follow her around. He sent the hitman a picture of his wide and told the hitman that if the wife was meeting someone else, he should kill both the wife and the man. Funnily enough, my cousin was not a faithful husband himself, despite demanding loyalty from his wife. He met up with multiple women in a week and sometimes hired prostitutes online. That day, he hired a prostitute online and asked the firm to send her to his room. The prostitute turned out to be his wife, who, like he had suspected, was still meeting and sleeping with other men. As they were still busy screaming and accusing each other of being unfaithful, the hitman walked in behind in the hotel room, and shot them both in the head with a silenced gun. Proud of a job well-done, the hitman left the hotel room unnoticed. Dear reader, if you found this story interesting, please leave a ♥️, a comment and a follow

Take Us To Forever . Content Warning.
Edith lay in her bed, under her sweat-soaked sheets. She had been under here for a few days, not moving, depressed of course. She was 25, single, and lived alone. She worked remotely as an online tutor, never showing her face. She didn't have to. Her job allowed her to stay in her little mole hole she made for herself and never have to leave the comfort of her own bed. She loved it there. It smelled familiar. It looked familiar. It was safe. It was comfortable. It never disappointed her. Today, she was rotting away on her phone, looking amongst the war zone that was the popular social media site "GalaxyGroove," where hundreds of mind-numbing souls could unleash their most unwanted but wanted opinions to the internet, and let the battle commence.

Staring at the Papers
As the city's skyline bled into hues of crimson and gold, she perched on her bed's edge, the papers in her lap in stark contrast to the fading light. Her heart drummed an anxious rhythm in her chest, while her mind whirled with a tempest of thoughts and queries. The words inked on the paper seemed alien, yet they were all too real—her husband had been having an affair. And not just with anyone—with her best friend.

An Unintended Stop. Content Warning.
"Smoke! Mum, there's smoke!" "Okay, I see it." Janet tried to remain calm as she traversed a busy multiple lane motorway to safety, and could feel her jaw tightening as cars beeped and her engine grinded, fighting her all the way in its bid to break down.

The Temple of Asana
The temple of Asana is bedded down in swathes of dark foliage. Where the broad leaves of rubber plants graze its sloping sides, licks of moisture saturate the pink stone. The breadth of the temple is slashed with these markings; rosy tiger stripes paling in the sun. We remove our gear at the temple entrance (force of habit), and melt into the cool darkness.

The Lady At Night
I woke up in the middle of the night one time because I was sick. This was years ago. Due to my illness, I wasn't really conscious of my surroundings then. I could barely walk, stare without my eyes getting weary, so I kept to my bed all the time and had my mother doing everything for me. So, this one time, I jerked up in the middle of the night, with the pressing need to have my mother's nearby. Not for anything specific. I called out to her, with a voice as weak as my limbs. In the near darkness of my room, I saw, through my drowsy eyes, the door of my room slowly swing open, then a woman who I thought in my half-awake state to be my mother walking in. The woman came to my bedroom, sat on my bed, held me by my right arm and began to fan me. Noticing how I shivered although my body was burning hot, the woman rubbed me over my body with something I presumed to be kernel oil. I slowly went to sleep afterwards. When I woke up the next morning, I staggered outside for breakfast, and made a remark to my mother, about how I felt better because of the thing she rubbed on my body the previous night, thanking her. Much to my shock, my mother said she never came into my room the previous night, and my dad attested to this. They were together the whole night. When I persisted, my mother laughed and said I was probably dreaming. The weirdest thing was, two days later, rashes began to spread all over my body, starting right from the spot the woman had held my hand. It was chickenpox.

William's Things
Opal slept on her belly like a dog all summer. It was too hot to open the drapes or the shutters, so she contented herself with lying in the cool darkness beneath her bed, or in the bare porcelain bottom of the bathtub with a book fanned open in her lap and her feet kicked up over the side. There was a little square window at the foot of the tub whose glass was all wavy; when Opal looked through it, she felt as though she were seeing a distorted reflection in a ripply pond. She liked to imagine that the weird, wobbly world behind the glass wasn’t an illusion at all, and that if she were to open the little window and crawl through, that the trees and houses and street lamps would all remain bent at strange, impossible angles, and that she would become a part of this interesting world too. Alas, the window looked as though it had never been opened, and Opal went back to her book.
