Unveiling the Mystery: A Glimpse into the Woods of "Ancient"


"The sun begins to set, casting an ethereal glow over the dense forest. As the friends settle into their campsite, an unsettling encounter sets the stage for a night of mystery and suspense."

Excerpt:

“Right over there,” he pointed towards the woods.

“He looked weird.”

“Must be a botanist, I saw some plants in his back seat.”

“Botanist? I’d say he was more of a thief.”

They found a place in the middle of the woods, Strub threw his bag and lied on the ground, while Zack lowered his bag with utmost care.

The orange hue was turning blue and the wanderers were busy exploring this new destination.

In the woods, Arhisha found something she had seen before in Strub’s apartment. She quickly took out a book from her backpack. The serrated leaves and the pistillate flower with trichomes completely resembled the picture in the book.

“Guys look at this!” she shouted.

“What?” Zack turned around.

Strub and Dean rushed to her.

“It’s just a plant! All this noise for a goddamn plant,” Strub said.

  "Ever had one of those nights where you're not quite sure what's real and what's a dream?  Today, I'm thrilled to share my previously published story that perfectly captures that hazy, in-between feeling. It's a tale of missed connections, late-night adventures, and the blurred lines between fantasy and reality..." I Should Have Slept That Night It was 10:00 PM. I had just woken up after a long nap, thanks to attending five lectures and a guest lecture. Fortunately, the next day was a holiday. I was feeling famished, and the mess had closed, so I thought of going out for a paratha. I went to Andy’s room and asked if he wanted to join me, but as usual, he wouldn’t leave the campus even if a catastrophe occurred in his room. Damn lazy fellow he was. "Come on, let’s go!” I said. “Why don't you just sleep?” Andy replied. “I haven’t eaten anything; I slept off,” a hungry me said. “Why don’t you just order from Kukkad Wale?” Andy suggested. But the f...

In a world striving for Utopia, where justice is the guiding principle, a young woman grapples with her destiny as 'the chosen one.' But what does it mean to be chosen, and at what cost?

She closed her eyes while feeling the water massaging her head, opened them, and took another deep sigh. Sitting at the breakfast table was another task which was delaying the act as a chosen one. “Are you ready my dear? ” her mother asked while slightly rubbing the back of her hand. “Yes, ” she responded with assurance in her eyes. “It is a big day, but remember we will be with you all the while, ” the father said. “She will do her duty very well, that’s why everyone has chosen her.
