total eclipse at noon

 

The total eclipse at noon, wind, rain, lightning, thunder, swaying trees, cries for help-


all that added to the #charm of the danger within.


He entered the bedroom. Closed the door and knelt. The figure by the window smoked a beedi. 


"Lovely, right?"


"Yes, Mistress."

Sherin's note

 

'Remember Sherin's suicide note?' 


I read aloud that comment on her post.


Got a #scowl in return.


Found nothing about that. 


Should not have disturbed the ghosts in unmarked graves. The boy under her Jeep. Her cousin's unsuitable affair. The disposed others.


When I say love you

What do I choose to forget?

Your sins or myself?

from 'When I was King'

 

I was a king for six months. 


In Beluru, not even a village then. In my 1st school, a hut with a moat of mud.


An imp with #mischief in her eyes raised a flutter in my chest. Could have made her mine if I knew I was king. I was a fool instead. Tried hard to be like her.
