A Wrong Visit To Town
The story takes place in the fictional town of 'Karimbigiri', which is located a few miles away from Shimla. A number of people and visitors are mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the greenery, hills, and weather of the place. What they don't know is that the town harbours a dark secret which is known to only the people who resides there. The law and order is just a myth and the one who talks about justice disappears the next day or his corpse is found in the worst state. The story is told with the point of view of the three unrelated characters who are the new visitors of the town. The first is a twenty six year old young boy who has left his prepartion of his banking exams in order to secure a corporate job thanks to the reference from his friend. He befriends a girl in his new workplace and forms a good bonding with her. His life is upturned when the girl goes missing without any trace. When he receives no help from anyone, he decides to go on his own and find the truth behind her mysterious disappearance. The second one is newly posted female cop. She tries to know the people and colleagues around but comes to know about the harsh reality of the town that her own colleagues in the department are corrupted by a person in the town. The people responsible for maintaining law and order has began to ignore the crimes committed by the person no matter how heinous it is. She voluntarily takes up an unsolved case of the death of a young girl but is hindered by the intervention of the colleagues in her own department. The third one is a special task force officer who is sent undercover to uncover a criminal ring involved in illegally manufacturing of weapons and supplying to anti social elements of the society. The three different stories comes to a common point when it is found that all are connected to the person in the town who misuses his power to control the law and order.

Next Step in Paradise
So for this month I wanted to try something new. This time instead of the characters being from a series, I was inspired by some things to try a story where neither who appear in this comes from anywhere but my own imagination. I've wanted to do this story for a long time and finally it's finished. I hope people enjoy even if this is long but can see how loving and romantic a couple can be during the summer even when things get hot, heavy, and naughty.

The Gentleman Killer
INTRODUCTION: Missing person reports were just piling up one after another these days. But none of the victims were found alive. After the killer got what he wanted from victim's family, the next day person would be found dead. People are starting to move out from the city. It's gotten worse as hours passed. Phones are ringing at the police stations and 911 calls are getting more and more desperate. Not many things were found out about this town's killer. But, the way people are describing him- yes him- shows that they all see him as an old man called the Gentleman. He got this name from the way he puts his deceased victims bodies. Lying on their back, carefully placed, hair brushed and clean, face without any makeup, but covered with black veil, white nightie with small bouquet in their arms that are placed on their chest. Beautifully horrific sight if you ask me. They all appeared to be women in their early or mid 20s, brunettes with blue eyes, skinny and average height. The Gentleman is described as someone in his late 30s or early 40s, is into art, but mostly sculptures as he shows by placing his victims in recognizable positions. On most of dead women's necks could be seen small tattoos that were assotiated with life and death- butterfly with its wings painted like skull. That was all that we knew of the Gentleman until something happened few days ago...
