This is a collection of my short fiction.
It tends to be heavily character driven stuff that leans towards the bleaker side of life.
Sometimes it's supernatural. Sometimes it's fantastical. Sometimes it's grounded in reality.
Feel free to leave feedback. I'd love to hear from you. I'm not offended by helpful criticism so don't be afraid to give it.
... But obviously praise would be preferable.

"Marry Vinay, Aradhya," Aradhya's soon-to-be brother-in-law said. "Today itself, on this very wedding altar- marry him." His words didn't sound like a joke at all. "Mujhe aise mazak pasand nahi." [I don't like such jokes.] "Mai majak kar bhi nahi raha hoon." Shivang replied. "Aapko kya lagta hai, aapke kehne par mai jhat se raazi ho jaungi? Bhuliye mat, ki aap mere behan ke hone wale pati ke alawa- mere kuch aur nahi lagte." [Do you really think I'll agree so easily just because you said so? Don't forget, apart from being my sister's soon-to-be husband, you are nothing to me.] With a smirk, Shivang said, "Aur mai kahu ki tum khud apni marzi se shadi ke liye raazi hogi... toh?" [And what if I say that you'll agree to this marriage willingly?] Aradhya frowned in confusion. "Kya... kya matlab hai aapka?" [What... what do you mean?] Shivang's face remained blank as he said, "Vinay se shadi karo, warna mai tumhari behan se shadi tod dunga." [Marry Vinay, or I will break off my marriage with your sister.] A few moments later, Aradhya finally spoke. "Thik hai, mai karungi aapke dost se shadi. Par pehle meri shartein toh sunlijiye... jija ji." [Fine. I'll marry your friend. But first, listen to my conditions... brother-in-law.] She said the last words with extra emphasis. --- A little later, Aradhya entered the temple. And there, standing in front of her, was Vinay. The moment he saw her, he lowered his eyes, as if guilt was written all over his face. He stepped forward and held his hand out for her. But when Aradhya didn't take it, Vinay said softly, "Tham lo, marte dam tak nahi chhorunga- hath bhi aur sath bhi." [Hold my hand. I won't leave you till my last breath-neither your hand, nor your side.] For the first time, Aradhya looked straight into Vinay's eyes. ___________________________________________ Go ahead!! • Started- 22 August 2024
State of Mind
Book 1 of 3 *Began: Monday, October 15, 2018* *Finished: Friday, November 16, 2018* I sat down at a desk with my laptop open and a cup of tea. From there I just let my imagination go wild. My fingers wove the worlds that my mind told me to. This was the outcome. This was the product of that madness. This is the state of my mind. **NOTE: I own all the characters/stories/photos used in this book. Please do not try to claim any of my work as your own without proper crediting.

A Big Book of Short Stories
A collection of my ideas. While most could have been cared for and nurtured until they grew into fully fledged books, they have only matured halfway, creating a efficient way to get stuck in your head. I'll also post short stories that I may or may not try turning into novels. From "The Kid is Hot Tonight," a story about such topics as high school parties and domestic abuse. To "Just Another Nightmare," a story about a kind of hell you might never have thought of. This collection will likely make you question if something is wrong with me. Spoiler alert; there is. It will also show you the farthest reaches of the world and the furthest horrors that I can write about. If you want an update on how the next story is coming along, you can ask me however you want. Seriously I'm so so lonely...
