The Evasion - Original Version
Blurb: Pooja My Life was simple. College, real-life friends, online friends, sports, other extra and co-curricular activities, a loving father and a scolding mother. Suddenly, one day, my life is flipped. There is a serial killer on my back, who has already killed my friend and a few other girls from my college. I can't let myself get killed. I need to escape...I have to survive. Cast: Sivaangi as Pooja Ashwin as Guru Get Ready to experience our Ashaangi in never-before-seen characters. Author's Note: The Evasion is a Psychological Thriller with a touch of romance. This is the original version of my book, which was drafted in May 2020 and published on 30 June 2020 under the same title on Amazon Kindle. Due to certain reasons, I scrapped the original version (removing the romantic part) and went with a different ending. The plot and the story are the same, just the storytelling and ending were different. While narrating the backstory of this book to a co-ashaangian, the idea of making the original version as an ashaangi fanfic popped into my mind. When I initially drafted this story last year, and when I read it with imaginary characters, it felt so normal. But after uploading it as a fanfic and reading it, imagining Ashaangi as the main lead, this book gave me a completely different vibe, and I was surprised by myself, how certain things synced in this story even before they met. Gemini AI generated the cover image, and the cover design (placement of title, series and author name) was done by me.Complete

I felt every hit in excruciating detail with each erratic, painful heartbeat as my world became reduced to a series of agony.

My arm was twisted at an impossible angle, yet I couldn't scream because my mouth would not open. I could feel the kicks coming at me from all directions, and as I received another one to the head I knew this was the end for me and my heartbeat slowed. The stab wound was bleeding too much for me to survive. When they left me for dead my eyes began to droop and the last thing I saw through fuzzy tunnel-like sight was a man running towards me before one final rattling breath coursed through my broken body and my heart stopped beating.Complete
