The Unexpected Goddess
𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 The weight of her tiny bare feet as they motioned over the battlefield of debris that laid outstretched before the grimy-looking wretch who came to stand at the edge of the burning cabin was the only sound. Hours had passed, how many the girl could not say but enough that the fray that had demolished her home and the echoes of her grandmother's screams as she burned within could by now become so seared into Eulalia's memory that she almost thought she could hear it even now. An acrid stench wafted through the air but nothing remained. The bits of steam that now lifted from the earth were the only signs of the inferno that had engulfed the cabin in an instant.

Lost Time
Sarah knew she was driving too fast for the condition of the road, but she was late for her appointment. The rain was coming down fiercely and the water was covering the road in places. The turn coming up was sharp but instead of slowing down, Sarah tried to take it at high speed. Her car hydroplaned across the road to the other side and into a deep ditch. The car's airbags failed to deploy and Sarah hit her head forcefully against the top of the door. Everything went dark.

The Captive
A small ray of light entered the room from a small piece of the window my captor forgot to cover. I was taken hostage a few weeks ago and maybe even months, but then I was just not sure. I did not even know my name, or my age, my parent's name, or any sense of my presence. I knew nothing about my life, the past, or the future.

In-Prison Nightmares
There were many in front of me, I believe, there were strange things written on the walls, scary messages and signs, these were written in blood… some are so old that the redness is faint and pale, and some are so young that he still smells of blood. The roof had collapsed; make me believe that he will break them down at any moment and crush me.

A land that feeds on blood
“It's a very strange place. Don't you think so? ”I mentioned my curiosity to my four friends, Vivek, Sorav, Sonu, and Farooq, who were having fun at my side. It was a hilly forest area. There were lots of dense trees and space too. But everything like the shape of the trees, the colour of the soil, the variety of flowers was very amazing. Whatever we saw there, was beyond our comprehension.

Broken soul
In the pale yellow illumination of the night lamp, I was fast asleep. I started to feel like shifting to my left side about 1 a.m. My eyes were wide open for a single second while doing so, but I couldn’t shut them again. I was taken aback when I noticed a man lying next to me on the mattress.
