Chasing Time
After the death of her beloved grandmother, Megha, Kashvi inherits an antique pocket watch-an heirloom passed down through generations. On the night of Megha's funeral, she has a vivid, almost supernatural dream, where Megha pleads with her to find the man who killed her. But her final words hold a chilling warning: "The Arcanum Order will come for the watch." Determined to uncover the truth, Kashvi begins investigating, but strange things start happening-eerie coincidences, shadows that shouldn't be there, and the feeling that she's always being watched. Then, she accidentally activates the watch-and discovers its impossible secret. The watch isn't just a family heirloom. It is an artifact of immense power, tied to an ancient secret that has been haunting her family for generations. The Arcanum Order, a hidden organization that safeguards dangerous relics, claims the watch was never meant to be hers. Megha was supposed to surrender it to them, but she didn't. And now, they want it back. But there's more. Kashvi learns that the watch doesn't just track time-it can bend it. It holds the power of time travel, but every time she uses it, she loses part of her own life in return. As Kashvi and her best friend Anshuman search for answers, they uncover whispers of betrayal, forgotten history, and a murder that was never meant to be solved. The deeper they dig, the more they realize Megha's death is just the beginning of something far darker than they ever imagined. The Order is watching. The murderer is still out there. And time is running out.

Avatar - Me and the Devil.
I wasn't special, I wasn't a marine or a scientist sent here from earth to study Pandora, I was a behaviorist-some say behaviorists are scientists too; but the brain isn't made up of mathematics and hope, it's like the roots of trees. Forever speaking but unheard. I study people's brains and their behavior. I don't look at it with hope and faith. I'm nothing special, not really. When I was accepted to help with Project Pandora, I was exhilarated. This was my big break, something to get me out there. I never expected for it to spiral into my life unprofessionally-become personal, emotional. That I would have to fight in a war between man and alien, choose between my own people and a clan of beings that accepted me-welcomed me, trained and made me one of them. This wasn't supposed to become personal, but it did.Complete
The boy in the garden

An enchanted garden, a tale that exceeds time. Join the boy who loves a girl he mustn't love and a girl love a ghost she doesn't fully understand. A romance in a thriller. Who exactly is the silhouette and why does he have no parents or never leave the old white picket fence of his house. For the longest time.

The story is my narration of what I think could have happened to the house and inspired by a former crush I had when I was in the 9th grade. I hope you enjoy it .Complete
The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
