Dark story " Kanchanai"
I just couldn’t sleep that night, for no apparent reason. My mind was neither troubled, nor was it overflowing with happiness to keep me awake thus. I am just like everyone else. Yet my job is not like that of anyone else. I write fiction. That is to say, I spin yarns, and make a living out of the journalistic establishments that are prepared to accept them. My lies are accepted. Or in other words, they are recognized by the majority of the world as God, Dharma, et cetera, in various names and forms. This is what is called Creation, living in the land of the imagination et cetera. In fact liars like me are called other Brahmas, Second Creators. And I am the youngest in this lineage of duplicate Brahmas. When I think of all this, I feel some pride, certainly. Is the handiwork of Brahma false, too, like ours? Am I false? If such philosophic queries occur around twelve o’ clock at night, who won’t begin to doubt his digestive system? “Ada, chut ! I muttered impatiently, and sat up.

cadaver Lover
I lay there, motionless on the cold, hard table. The room was dimly lit, with only a flickering candle casting eerie shadows on the walls. The air was thick with the smell of incense, and the chanting of prayers echoed through the chamber. I knew what was about to happen, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me.

He had been at it for hours, but he was finally making progress. The sweat on his forehead was evidence of the tension he felt.

The Whispering Woods
Lila always loved the woods, especially the Whispering Woods. The forest was so dense, the trees towering above her, the branches blocking the sun's rays. The breeze rustled through the leaves, sounding like a whisper. As a child, she would run and play among the trees, pretending she was a fairy princess until the sun began to set, and her parents would call her back home.
