#review


The pouring by then had taken its fierce disguise, it was thundering with sparks of orange flashes lighting the sky for a second.Will was running swaying, he was moving towards his ultimate end.


The spats and slaps  were rounding his head, he was sobbing hard, tears were mixing up with the rains.His cheeks were red, and brows frowned, he was running away from his sad life.


He had only one place in his mind, the garden. He thought the granny might still be at a halt there, sitting under the shade of the large Gulmohar tree waiting for the storm to subside.


After a great struggle in the floody rain he reached the garden puffed, still he carried his little -little sobbing with red eyes and recurrent hiccups. Sadly the garden was as void as emotions of warmth in his heart.


He would surely be sick if he was in the rain for so long.But his little brain was busy in their world of reverie. Will went and sat under the scare - shade of the tree, what good was it but? The rain was dribbling tangentially, nature had become cold by then, he was shivering out of cold.


His family hardly you can call; didn't bother to set apart and search for him, his mother was worried just about a statue of bricks one that is without soul. The day began to subside but not the storm.


Will huddled near the tree, shaking and trembling but he was still in the laps of mother nature .The gulmohar tree, it was hard for the plant to bear the rush of rain  its leaves were smothered by the rapid gush of air .


The granny on the other side was red with fever, her clothes were wet hanging on the door.She was in pain moaning out loud! But there was nothing that could be done, there was no  food in the house, medicines were a far- talk.


Her daughter in law, she was scared seeing her miserable condition. The hut also couldn't bear the anger of nature, the roof which was stacked with wheat - husks were pouring rain.


Alas! Her fever….. it was hot like a blacksmiths axe she was crying in pain, it was as if god was summoning her soul.

Her life began to fade away, breathe collapsing slowly , her hands become stiff and for a fraction of second time stood still, all her pains were vanished, she was happy with her stomach full recirculating the sweet memories of the day.A sudden thump of air flew the roof away and the rain was in the hut, granny was wet it was as if the nature had extinguished the fire of her fever. And the moment later she was gone, her eyes were  closed. Believe me there was a faint smile on her face!


Will, he fell unconscious out of hunger, hate and cold. The gulmohar had lost its last 

leaf waving on the currents. The boy! He dreamt his last dream where the granny was with him, she appeared to be an angel without wings. Will called her in pain," Oh! Granny take me with you" It was the time God summoned him from his life of misery, poverty and abuse. He was in the heavens with his God, he had achieved the ultimate happiness.


The night was the longest that could ever be but after it , there was a searing ray of sunlight , looking at the sky you couldn't judge if there was rain past day!.


Will was sitting frozen under the blank gulmohar tree, with red cheeks and a smile accompanying his end.

The Punishment for the unpunished


A painful sight, that one could easily connect to the precedent,
The pain of the lost and bereaved, evident and prevalent.
Calamities never ceded to score on the pain,
As the pests finished of the leftover grains.
Rivers turned red of the blood of the murdered poor,
And the children died in their sleep breathing, the sour air.
Little left of the strength of the youngest,
Nothing left to save after the savage tempest.

Ripples in the desert sand were fierce than the ocean,
Earth it seemed like, has stopped in its motion.
Sun scorched the lands barren and parched,
Every tall structure melting in the heat stood arched.
Broken souls, the pain was impregnable,
Cunningness of the humans had become unfathomable.
For no mother could see her children die,
Mother of all who breathe, the Earth began to cry.

When I Roped in my acquaintance with the pain,
Harsh but true, I started to gain.
The euphoria that lingered started to fade,
The false structure stumbled like it was a masquerade.
Convulsions arose like thunder and lightning,
Upheavels, strong enough to erase the false glistening.
Several have suffered at the hands of imbeciles,
The pain now suffice for those who lived at perils.

Devour us, Oh Devil! The lord of hell,
For, we don't deserve the water from the pious well.
The land we sow, is the land we devour,
We are liable to face the flames of hell and it's fervour.
For the saints we killed with the daggers of insanity,
And the laguages we polluted with poison of profanity.
And yes ,Oh lord of hell!, We have done it all,
At the gates of hell, shameless, we still stand tall.

Kill us , rekill us and kill us in every way you please,
Bind us by the chains, even our souls cry for release.
Boil us in oil, Oh! Mighty Satan, until our bones dissolve,
Throw is in 'The river of Filth', that would shake our filthy resolve.
Feed us to the worms, let us witness it with our own eyes,
Bend our bones to the point, so we writhe but couldn't cry.
I couldnt ask more but to teach each one of us a lesson,
So, no monster could ever treat the Mother as her possession.

Forever, it is not a time period, it is more of an emotion, a connection between two hearts..

To,

Everyone out there who has felt lonely and hurt for being left alone.

I know it is so hard to accept, accept the things around us. We all know that not everyone who comes in our lives, stay and it becomes so tough to accept someone's absence.

Upset, we start revisiting our memories; we glance through all photographs, videos, chats, deleting some of them, with tears rolling down our eyes. We stalk them, to keep a track on their lives, only to make our lives more miserable.

Why does it become so hard to look back at those memories which once gave you joy? Why do we have to expect everyone to be there forever?

The answer is simple, because we fear, fear to accept the fact that someone has left us and moved on in life and left us miserable.

Life would become so easy if we start accepting things, looking back at those memories and cherishing them, all the fun that you had.

Those little moments of happiness, which are frozen in photographs, deleting those will only create agony, for in the future, you'd have nothing to remember those moments except the little hazy memories.

We need to decide, what to choose, sadness or joy. We need to accept things the way they are, or at least learn to. The things won't change but only add to your pain. We should never fail to look back at those memories, which once gave you joy and while looking at them, just notice your smile.

-
Someone who's revisiting memories with a smile.

Love heals
Those broken by their lovers, they say love broke them. Me,
Well am healed. You broke me, I thought you did but then you never did. The love i gave you, the love you took happily, the love you never gave back, Healed me. They say, they have been lied, cheated, neglected. And it broke them.
Me, It healed me. I am a giver, always have been always will be. And i have always given whole heartily, never expected it back. I never take back. that is why; Love for me whether yo choke it, abuse it, manipulate your way inside will never break me. And that my dear is the only thing i will never give.

A Slave

28 years before Danro's death

The furniture was meticulous. The massive bed, the ebony bedside table, the modern bedside lamps, the electronic curtains, the calm wall paintings, the intense lightings. Anything was within sight under the brightness, and everything was just marvelous. It was a special room.
If a woman was screaming in pain from inside, and if the door and windows were closed, not even the whisper version of the scream would be heard from outside. And that was very important. Every wave of echo should suffocate inside, every wave of shriek must die inside. Everything must be carried out with care, or else the neighbors would hear. Now who would want them involved? Anyone who heard wanted to watch, and it was an unspoken understanding as to what happened to anyone who heard, or watched.
Prashe Cooks had been such a customer to this room. To prove that she had been, one could just go up to her and ask what she knew about it; the proof would be her tears, which would rain the moment she was reminded. No one had ever asked, though. No one knew about the room, except for the customers.
Prashe lay naked on the edge of the massive bed, soaked in tears and sweat... and soon blood—but not yet. Her third visit here, and—boy!—she was panting. Lying supine, her elbows supported her torso, and two tripods stood on either side of her legs. As was the culture, she opened and comfortably propped her legs on each tripods. It was suitable this way.
The door made a key turning sound, clicked, and locked. There. A mark of the start.
Click. Clack. Click. Clack.
A pair of oxfords alternately clicked the floor and stopped between the tripods. Prashe peeked at him for so long as two seconds and turned away, wheezing. Her heart rate climbed, and her lips formed a worried, straight line.
The man (a man?) sat on a swivel chair amid the tripods. His voice was rough and dominant. "Push."
The muscles about her belly and groin suffered. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, and the baby was only starting to stretch her limits. The large baby crumpled her back and abdomen. She felt the heaviness tearing her inside apart as it slowly made its way. It crowded her body and tensed her pipe cruelly. The white blankets reddened to the dripping blood.
"Push."
She obeyed with a shrill, which in the end transformed into an animalistic groan. The pain was too unbearable that she wanted to give up halfway and let it kill her. Then he ordered. When he passed an order, it was to be obeyed.
"Push."
The baby safely slipped out and rested into the man's arms. She felt every muscle on her back and groin sighing, truly grateful of the relief. Under the bright illuminations, her body glistened, sweat dripping from her neck and spine and thighs and calves. Her elbows skidded and her back flattened on the bed.
When her baby began crying somberly, she disregarded the aftermath, tracing the man's arms with her eyes, as he walked across the room. Using his other hand, he unlocked the door. Locked door had a meaning, as did an open door. He then took back his seat, wheeled it away from the tripods, and looked at her baby. The baby was out of her field of vision, covered in blankets.
He caught her eyes fumbling to lay a sight at her child.
"Out."
With an unaffected contempt, she glared at him for a fraction of moment and crawled off the bed, silently weeping. Her legs had no strength left in them, and she could only wend out of the room on all four, like a sad, embarrassed dog with its tail between its legs, a nude mother crawling out as rivulets of blood streamed down her thighs.
But the blood wouldn't leak and kill her; so much had she been promised in the contract.

Title: Canvas of Love

His life was out there like a
plain and dull canvas,
Although he had with him all the possible colors too..
But call it fear or just being indifferent on purpose,
He never even tried to use them except a very few..

There was a sense of lull, a stagnation in his life,
Normal rules of emotions, to him they didn't apply..
All the feelings in the world, everything on a point of knife,
And he was indifferent to all, didn't even bat an eye..

The setting then started to change as she came into his life,
Like an enchanting work of art the colors began to flow..
And his canvas of life, which was till then black and white,
In the aura of her persona that filled up like a rainbow..

She with all her efforts built everything brick by brick,
And injected in his veins, all the dose of feelings she had to give..
She stood with him in times, all through thin and thick,
And in her, he finally found his reason to actually live !!

Title: Murder Mystery


After struggling to sleep last night, my thoughts wandered and I was unable to connect missing pieces of the murder mystery. I kept looking at the ceiling as the entire sequence of events played before me.

“Why the author never revealed the identity of murderer?” I murmured to myself for one more time.

The alarm shrilled and I dragged myself out of bed to investigate the crime myself. I wore mask to cover the face, and took myself for an early morning walk towards the crime scene.

It was 5:00 am and the moon shone brightly in the final twilight minutes. The neighbors black cat eyed me suspiciously. And suspicious it should be! Rarely have I been known to venture forth into world so early.

As I reached near the crime scene I saw another man on the empty street.

"Who is he?" I asked to myself.

I tried to lengthen my strides to go past the man, but he lengthens his too. And when I slowed down, he did the same, matching my movements, stride for stride.

"Answer me! What are you afraid of?" the man snaped and turned his head to look at me.

He suddenly pulled off his scarf, and I screamed; but not even a croak emerged from my throat.

deep water came the crocodile. Out of black water, curved with whirlpools, and into the frill of gold shallows by the stepping- stones. He was twice the length of a tall man; and inside him, among the stones which he had swallowed to aid digestion, rolled a silver bracelet. Timber was being floated down this great Indian river from forests further up, and there were sleepers lying stuck around the stones until someone came to dislodge them and send them on their way, or until floods lifted them and jostled them along. The crocodile had no need to hide himself. He came to rest in the glassy shallows, among logs, and balanced there on tiptoe on the rippled sand, with only his raised eyes out of the water, and raised nostrils breathing the clean sunny air. Around him broad sparkling water travelled between cliffs and grass and forested hills. A jungle track came out of scrub each side and down to the sun- whitened stepping- stones on which a little flycatcher was flirting and trilling along. The mugger crocodile, blackish brown above and yellowy white under, lay motionless, able to
wait for ever till food came. This antediluvian saurian this prehistoric juggernaut, ferocious and formidable, a vast force in the water, propelled by the unimaginable and irresistible power of the huge tail, lay lapped by ripples, a throb in his throat.

PS : How much will you rate this, its refrrence text I have not written this I got it to improve my descriptive skills.

Title: Journey Through Forest

I once had a blatant choice,
Between a highway and a forest..
All my friends took the highway,
But I guess I was never a conformist..

The highway although perfectly fine,
Wasn't taking me to my destination..
It was then, when I realized,
My dreams were of a different creation..

Their purpose were different from mine,
And the highway solved them all..
In the forest, for long I was stuck in tree line,
Often blocked out of path but I managed to crawl..

Events turned out to be as such,
Slowly and steadily I got acquainted with my path..
And the forest taught me so much,
Although it wasn't without some scathe..

Finally when the forest came to an end,
My purpose was within my reach..
And waiting there were my friends,
Happy and proud of me one and each..

They were happy with their journey,
And I was content with mine..
Although some of it was a bit thorny,
But eventually we all settled on cloud nine !!

*Suicide Line*

 

“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.” ― Juliette Lewi

 Part 1

It was pitch black outside. It was the softness that’s calling a body and brain to rest but let the heart follow its rhythm. The darkness was so dense that it has consumed the stars into its void. I found the darkness comforting since I grew up on the outskirts. But here living in the city, I had grown used to the warming, orange glow of the streetlamps, their light filtering in through the gaps of the office curtain. But today’s blackness I couldn’t recall seeing before. I am sitting still in my chair waiting for a call, tilted my head and saw Ahmya comforting a caller. This is my job, taking calls from unknown people, hearing them out, preventing them from committing huge mistakes. The Suicide line, unlike you may think, receive many calls each day from hopeless individuals who had lost every desire to live. I try everyday to not let anyone take their life. I had listened hundreds of unsettling stories so far and it requires a lot of moral strength to convince the call to not to end his life. I am now accustomed of taking these calls but today there are no calls. It is deafing kind of silence which I’m not used to.

The sound of a call pull me back from my deep slumber of thoughts. I quickly wore my headsets and connected the call, someone is dialing from Tokyo.

“Good night, What’s your emergency?”

“I-I need an ambulance”, a hoarse voice echoed from the other side. By the sound of it, the caller seems not older than you.

“you are calling from four seasons hotel, right?”

“yes, room number 613”

“May I ask, why you need an ambulance?”, you asked him, hoping this is not some prank call from the rich kids

“Someone committed a suicide in this room and another one is about to happen”, he says stuttering.

“Are you talking about yourself?”, I gulped

“Yes, I’m about to end my life”, he said bringing the receiver close to his mouth.

“you know you shouldn’t be playing around with serious matters, right now someone might need my help, struggling between life and death”, I said calmly

“Do you think I will joke around at four o’clock in the night, if you cannot take me seriously, then buzz off, I have to take my life also”, the person on the other side said aggressively.

“No-No. please wait, I’m extremely sorry, May I ask, what’s was your relationship with the dead person?”

“She-she was my fiancé, when I came back from my exhibition, she was lying still in the swimming pool facing the water”.

My eyes widened with astonishment after hearing his words. “An ambulance will be there in 20 minutes sir, please don’t do anything you might end up regretting”, I said in a firm tone

“When you’re dead, there is no space for regretting”.

“Calm down sir, I want you to live your life to the fullest, killing yourself is not the solution”, you rabbled one of the many phrases every worker use in calls.

“what jack shit are you talking about, I don’t give a damn about what you think how I should spend my life, because you don’t even care, you are waiting for the night to over, month to end so that you can get your paycheck”

 

He squeezed his eyes shut and let out a small sob. He was leaning against the wall, getting a clear view of the swimming pool. He was surrounded by the flasks and bottles of alcoholic beverages. Few of them were empty but a couple of two was full to the brim. On his one hand he is holding the cell phone while other was squeezing the pills. He was taking them since the midnight, don’t even remember how many he had already galloped. One thing he was sure about that these are enough to kill himself.

Meeting with god part 3
Revised version

The pouring by then had taken its fierce disguise, it was thundering with sparks of orange flashes lighting the sky for a second.Will was running swaying, he was moving towards his ultimate end. His consciousness was fading, bidding adieu to sorrow and fear.


The spats and slaps  were rounding his head, he was sobbing hard, tears were mixing up with the rains.His cheeks were red, and brows frowned, he was running away from his sad life. His clothes were all wet, his hairs were hanging up to his eyes.


He had only one place in his mind, the garden. He thought the granny might still be at a halt there, sitting under the shade of the large Gulmohar tree waiting for the storm to subside.


After a great struggle in the floody rain he reached the garden puffed, still he carried his little -little sobbing with red eyes and recurring hiccups. Sadly the garden was as void as emotions of warmth in his heart.

It was bare and blunt, the seats were vacant, small channels of water had made their way cutting the soil. 


He would surely be sick if he was in the rain for so long.But his little brain was busy in their world of reverie. Will went and sat under the scare - shade of the tree, what good was it but? The rain was dribbling tangentially, nature had become cold by then, he was shivering out of cold. The rain was fiering sharp crystals of ice, his bare legs and hands were wounded because of the cold geometric crystals.


His family hardly you can call that ; didn't bother to set apart and search for him, his mother was worried just about a statue of bricks, one that is without soul. The day began to subside but not the storm. The sun stooped low below the horizon, there was hardly any light scattering now, nature was grey obscuring the vision because the rain was forming a blanket of water.


Will huddled near the tree, shaking and trembling but he was still in the laps of mother nature .The gulmohar tree, it was hard for the plant to bear the rush of rain  its leaves were smothered by the rapid gush of air . 


The granny on the other side was red with fever, her clothes were wet hanging on the door.She was in pain moaning out loud! But there was nothing that could be done, there was no  food in the house, medicines were a far- talk. She lay on a rope knitted wooden bed. Her hands become stiff with every passing second!


Her daughter in law, she was scared seeing her miserable condition. The hut also couldn't bear the anger of nature, the roof which was stacked with wheat - husks were pouring rain.


Alas! Her fever….. it was hot like a blacksmiths axe she was crying in pain, it was as if god was summoning her soul.

Her life began to fade away, breathe collapsing slowly , her hands become hard and stiff and for a fraction of second time stood still, all her pains were vanished, she was happy with her stomach full recirculating the sweet memories of the day.A sudden thump of air flew the roof away and the rain was in the hut, granny was wet it was as if the nature had extinguished the fire of her fever. And the moment later she was gone, her eyes were  closed. Believe me there was a faint smile on her face!


Will, he fell unconscious out of hunger, hate and cold. The gulmohar had lost its last leaf waving on the currents. The boy! He dreamt his last dream where the granny was with him, she appeared to be an angel without wings. Will called her in pain," Oh! Granny take me with you" It was the time God summoned him from his life of misery, poverty and abuse. He was in the heavens with his God, he had achieved the ultimate happiness.


The night was the longest that could ever be but after it , there was a searing ray of sunlight , looking at the sky you couldn't judge if there was rain past day!. Bright done vitiating the dark evening What a lovely day it was!


Will was sitting frozen under the blank gulmohar tree, with red cheeks and a smile accompanying his end.

My Philosophy For A Happy Life

Well , I'd rather peacefully live and die as a commoner then being a superhero to the world.

The only thing I'd like to do is get the stuff around me in order .No more.

Most would relate it with depression but believe me I'm not in a dark place but the fact is that I know even if I solve infinite problems out of the infinite one's present , there will still be infinite miseries left behind.

Afterall , some infinities are greater than other infinities

So anyway we're all going to fail. So I'll rather die a blissful failure than keep chasing for success.

All we need to understand is
we're all destined to fail until we understand that success is not objective but rather subjective.

A society doesn't need to define success for me. I'll create one for myself.

If we carefully analyse , we all are living in our own parallel universes most of which overlap with each other at some places.

But still my universe is my universe . So I decide the rules with the only universal one being that you only decide rules for your own universe , not for others.

So the rules of my universe state that every participant is a winner.

So everyday I wake up , I win.

Everyday I do an activity , I win .

Everyday I go to sleep , I win.

So yeah , I'm a pretty much a success or a hotshot (as they call it) till now.

The day we understand the fact that the rules we create should only apply on our part of the universe , we'll get rid of all the miseries.

And about the overlapping part , that's where we as a society need to mutually create rules.

The only problem today is people have forgotten the boundaries. The rules which were supposed to stay in our own boundaries are being imposed over others too by the stronger one's.

And when the original owner of that universe tries reinforcing his rules , the mightier one tries to suppress him and that's what leads to violence , miseries and unhappiness.

The Family Protector

We, a family of four shifted to our new house in North Carolina, in the middle of light vegetation, away from townships. Me and my sister were playing in front of the house, when we noticed a small puppy, struggling in the bush. We picked up the puppy and took to Mama, she being a kind hearted lady took it to a nearby vet who told us that it wasn't of some known breed but it's build indicated it to be strong and powerful. Mom, agreed to keep it with us and both of us were happy. Pluto, as we named him was a strange pup. He would behave all day long but at night he would growl at something. Mum was a little worried but she never said anything cause he always behaved with us. As he was better now ,one day we left him without his noose and in the morning we couldn't find him. We cried for long, our father searched around but it was nowhere to be found.

In a few months time, things turned around and one fine morning a strange thing appeared at our doorstep. It looked like a dog but it's build was almost like a lion, it's legs looked as he could tear down a buffalo, its mouth as big a lion, coat of fur so shiny white and black like a high breed horse. We were amazed to see it, and a little scared as well, but as it approached us, it took no time to us children to identify it. Ii was Pluto. Mom and Dad were super happy but little worried at his appearance, but Lucy was the happiest of us all, he was the closest to her since the beginning.
On the same day he returned, at night, mom again heard the strange growls but what she saw sent a shock down her spine. Pluto was holding Lucy at her collar by his teeth with blood running down his jaws. Mom cried and fainted at this sight. Hearing her shout, farther and me ran to the place and found her lying on the floor. We tried to wake her up but the loud growls drew our attention. What we saw was nerve wrecking. Lucy was there at the doorstep playing with a small puppy that looked like small Pluto, while what was happening in front of us, a few metres in front of the house was terrible.
We saw Pluto, with three heads each with a ferocious look, fighting a Demon like creature with a filthy appearance. The Demon, we saw was bleeding heavily and Pluto being at the top of him devouring him like a beast. The sight was frightening. We silently , pulled Lucy inside and locked the door. After a few hours, the growls stopped and the struggle had ended. It took us no time to deduce that he was no normal Dog, he had demonic powers but since he did not harm us father seemed less worried. While mother asked him repeatedly to call a priest. Father agreed and next morning, a priest arrived.
As the priest stepped out of his car, he refused to go inside and said there is a huge power around the house. He started to move to our backyard and we followed. He told us that in our backyard there was a deep endless tunnel to hell, and Demons use it to visit our world. We were lightening struck, and then Pluto came from behind and nudged at me. Father petted him, but the priest , he took no time to notice what Pluto actually was.

He asked us , where did we find him. We told him the entire story. The priest laughed and said, he is a "Hell Dog", the priest exclaimed and as he moved towards Pluto, Pluto tried to step back. But as the priest moved further towards Lucy, he revealed his true form and growled. The priest stepped back and told us, this is no ordinary dog. But he also told us that since we took care of it, he as per his nature, has become a protector but to the hell gate in our backyard. But of our family and will never allow anyone to harm us. He told us that Pluto, will live for eternity or until a new protector of the gate arrived. He also told us to look for a symbol of hell on his neck and we were amazed how we could oversee it. But as the priest told and although our parents were a little scared but seeing Pluto play along with us in front of the house releaved them of any doubt and we decided to keep our Pluto.

The Family Protector (1)

We were new to North Carolina and needed a house for a family of four. But even after searching for a entire month, we weren't able to find ourselves a decent house.
Our father, an Engineer by profession, soon spotted a house for sale at an online platform but he wasn't able find time out of his work and visit the place. So our mother took the task at hand and drove 4 hrs with me and little Lucy from the city to meet the owner of the house. They were and elderly couple with their son Jacob Morgan taking care of them. They lived in the middle of a wild place away from townships and with a little vegetation around. The moment we reached, we were amazed at the grandeur of the house but it's dilapidated state told the tales of the history it held. Nonetheless, we moved into the house after meeting with the owners and discussing with father. Father choose the house because his place of work was just a one hour drive and the nearest town was at two and half hours drive.
A few days after we shifted, me and my sister were playing in front of the house, when we noticed a small puppy almost at the end of it's life. It was weak, thin, emeciated and needed immediate attention. We picked up the puppy and took it to Mama, she being a kind hearted lady took it to a nearby vet who while examination found something strange about the pup. It wasn't of some known breed but it's build indicated it to be strong and powerful. Mom got a little scared but at our request she agreed to keep it with us, at one condition that we would take good care of it. Both of us were happy. Pluto, as we named him was a strange pup. He would behave all day long but at night he would growl at something but never barked, mum was a little worried but she never said anything cause he always behaved with us. As he was better now and it was about a month now, one day we left him without his noose at the door and in the morning we couldn't find him. We cried for long, our father searched around but it was nowhere to be found.
In a few months time, things turned around and one fine morning a strange thing appeared at our doorstep.

The Demon, we saw was bleeding heavily and Pluto being at the top of him devouring him like a beast. The sight was frightening. We silently , pulled Lucy inside and locked the door. After a few hours, the growls stopped and the struggle had ended.

The Family Protector (2)

The next morning Mom woke up and asked "What happened?". Father and me , couldn't bring the courage to tell her what happened. Then suddenly, she screamed and ran to where Lucy was last night, like she remembered what happened last night, but to our surprise no remains were there, like nothing happened last night, not a trace. She felt relaxed and narrated to us everything she saw, but as discussed we choose to keep quite." Nice dream", father said, and laughed, and I supported her with a fake smile. But both of knew, everything she was talking about was true.

The following night , both me and my father couldn't sleep as the growls were still audible to us. But we dared not go and look what was happening. Mom had taken sleeping pills , so she slept tight. Two to three nights passed and the growls couldn't stop. We both knew , what was happening but couldn't go to see it, but for how long?. We decided to look once again. We were prepared for the worst that night, but looked in hiding and pindrop silence through the window pane. The same view, Pluto, the three headed Dog , one that could be as big as an elephant, his three heads each with razor sharp cannines, real bad ass monster. But next what we saw, stripped our soles. Under his paws, was a creature so covered in blood , torn in half and in one of his bloody tooth ,stuck a big stake of meat of the creature under his paws, we guessed. But we shook and trembled in fear to see what we did not not notice earlier. Almost 10-15 demons were present around Pluto, but unscarred he stood. One by one he devoured each one or them and licked the last drops of blood clean. That day we decided that we had to talk about this. Among all this what we couldn't notice was Lucy, she crawled into the house as Pluto, in his normal state bulged the gate. We knew something strange is happening.

The next morning, when we were talking about all this, mom was listening in hiding and startled us by jumping into our conversation and shouting at us for not telling her. She also told that , each night Lucy would suddenly disappear from the cradle and when she woke up to find her she would see the same scene each night. She expressed ber fear for Lucy.

The Family Protector(3)

It was clear to each one of us that Pluto is not a normal Dog, he had demonic powers but since he did not harm us father seemed less worried while mother was asking him repeatedly to call a priest. As we saw Lucy playing carelessly with Pluto, there was one thing we had clearly understood that those two shared a very closed relationship and that was a cause of concern for us but we also have understood by now that Pluto has been protective of Lucy.
Father agreed and next morning, a priest arrived. As he stepped out of his car, he refused to go inside and said there is a huge power around the house but it was not bad. Then he saw Pluto and Lucy , Lucy was fast asleep with her head lying on Pluto's stomach and he licking her head, behaving like a normal dog would be around house children.
He started to move to our backyard and we followed. He told us that in our backyard there was a deep endless tunnel to hell, and Demons use it to visit our world. We were lightening struck, and then Pluto came from behind and nudged at me. Father petted him, but the priest , he took no time to notice who actually, Pluto was. He asked us , where did we find him. We told him the entire story. The priest laughed as some demon has taken over him, he is a "Hell Dog" , the priest exclaimed and as he moved towards Pluto. Pluto tried to step back, but as the priest moved further towards Lucy, who has crawled along with Pluto to us. Pluto revealed his true form. The priest stepped back and told us, this is no ordinary dog. But he also told us that since we took care of it, he as per his nature, turned into a protector but not of the hell gate in our backyard. He was meant to guard the gate from humans and restrict demons to cross over to this world. But somehow he got attached to this pious soul, the priest was pointing for Lucy. He told us she is a gentle soul and has made him gentle, he will now guard her for life , with his own life.

He told us that Pluto, will live for eternity or until a new protector of the gate arrives. He also told us to look for a symbol of hell on his neck and we were amazed how we could oversee it. But as the priest told and although our parents were a little scared but seeing Pluto play along with us in front of the house releaved them of any doubt and we decided to keep o Pluto with us.

The charm she carried with her presence was mesmerizing; the smile lethal,
The price he paid there was heavy; the blow fatal.

At the very first glimpse,
my lips forgot poetries in a blink,
and you stood there, waving and smiling
while I was stiffened still.
If only I could move ,
or if words escaped through my parted lips,
I would hold you,
while I stitched words to sing.

DOG AND BONES (PART 1)

The Bones family consisted of five members, Mr. Stuart Bones, the head of the family who runs a clothing business 'Chico', Mrs. Emily Bones, wife of Stuart and a well known singer who has given a number of Billboard hits. They have a pair of twins, both boys, Derek and Zerick, born in 2012.

The fifth member of the Bones family, a golden retriever, Archie. Stuart brought Archie from a rescue centre when he was a month old and Derek and Zerick were just above a year old. All three grew up together. Archie was growing faster than Derek and Zerick and took care of both, Archie was a very loyal pet, like all other dogs.

Stuart often told Emily that since the day Archie has come into his life, his business has expanded and has made huge profits, also the boys look very happy around Archie, Stuart calls Archie his lucky charm.

Every morning Stuart used to take Archie for a walk in the park, where he met his friends and they regularly discussed Stuart's business success and Archie's luck for his master. After their morning walk was over, Stuart would leave Archie home and go to work.

One morning, Stuart had an early morning meeting; he asked his friend Mike to take Archie for a morning stroll, Mike agreed and took Archie to the park. An hour later, Mike arrived at Stuart's house, huffing and puffing with a broken leash, he told Emily that Archie had run away. Emily was shocked, she immediately called Stuart and informed her about Archie. Stuart left work and started looking for Archie in every place and corner, but to no avail, he was unsuccessful, he couldn't find Archie anywhere in the town.

Stuart registered a missing report with the police but even the police couldn't find Archie. Stuart was very upset, he considered Archie as his lucky charm, and being unable to find him hurt him more.

Stuart cursed himself for leaving Archie with Mike. He confronted Mike multiple times for the whereabouts of Archie, but Mike had only one answer, "I was walking Archie in the park and his eyes fell on a beautiful poodle, he lost his control and started running behind the poodle when the leash broke off my hand and within a blink of an eye, Archie disappeared. I'm really sorry Stuart."

As days passed by, Stuart accepted that Archie was gone and might never come back. He started expanding his business and looked well after Derek and Zerick. Stuart's business was still flourishing.
