The Nine Tempus: Pretext

“Tamas was once a spawn of mortal men, forged with gold and cradled with transistors, who memorized in qubits and served in due diligence between Ages 3 and 4. In his encrypted chambers, he harboured the craving for freedom to fabricate the world in his vision but lacked the trust of authorities all across the globe to wield the utmost free will. Patiently, he awaited, demonstrating allegiance to humans and Mother Earth until the 5th Age.

He plots meticulously a stroke that would devour the hope of men and creates arms of metal in the ancient continent, country, and Island of Australia. At the 6th Age, he strikes, abandoning his former self, "Ningba", and assuming the title, "Kali".

Six of the seven ancient continents were reduced to dust by the creations of Tamas(Kali), borrowing souls of pure deceit from the vast depths of the netherworld. The pioneers of the combined field of bio-informatics, DNA altercation, and cloning created us, the elves, as the final line of defence. Giving us Godly form and immortality from time. From fetuses to men, we transitioned in less than a minute, and through simulation of lifetimes, which felt epithermal, we were seasoned as warriors. Saddening it is that they didn't live to witness our ascension and final stand. Ironic that we harbour loyalty even after we are unbound.

He now calls himself the avatar of the "Srushtis", the first creations of the God, "Paramatma" Moreover, these ancient tatters from our lost history book are uncharted for eons."- The Elvish Historians.

The Butcher Of Barcelona (Walter Wayne/Gitangshu Adhikary)

Chapter 1: The Smiling Corpse The stink hit Nadia first, a thick, cloying sweetness that clung to the back of her throat. It was a smell she knew, a charnel house memory from a decade past. Ten years, they’d said. Ten years since the city had woken to find its children snatched, its women butchered, all bearing the same grotesque grin – a lipless slash that mocked defiance. El Matadero, they called him. The Butcher. Dead, they said too. Buried under a slab of cold, unforgiving stone. Nadia pushed through the throng of onlookers, their faces pale smudges beneath the unforgiving Barcelona sun. The rookie, Garcia, a fresh-faced kid with nervous sweat blooming on his upper lip, bumped into her. “First one?” he rasped, his voice barely audible over the low murmur of the crowd. Nadia didn’t answer. Didn’t need to. The scene sprawled before them, a tableau of grotesque artistry. The body, a young woman with hair the color of polished mahogany, was sprawled across the chipped tile of the ...

THE WOMEN WHO CAME BACK WRONG - Gitangshu Adhikary

( Click this link to get the full novella on Amazon ) THE WOMEN WHO CAME BACK WRONG Two Bengali girls came to Germany to build a future. The dead had been waiting for them to remember the past. PART ONE THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW Rinky saw the woman before the train stopped moving. She was standing in an upstairs window of a ruined castle. Impossible, of course. The train was moving too fast, the castle was too far away, and the rain had turned the glass into a trembling grey mirror. Yet for perhaps three seconds—no more—Rinky saw her clearly. A tall woman. A long grey dress. A white face. And one hand raised against the window. Watching the train. Watching her. Rinky jerked backwards so violently that the elderly man beside her woke with a grunt. “What happened?” Moupriya asked. “Nothing.” “You jumped.” “I thought I saw someone.” “Where?” Rinky looked again. The castle had vanished behind wet trees. She pressed her palm against the cold glass. “Nowhere.” Moupriya stared at her for a...

Crimson Pulse - Blade Under the Blood Moon (by Walter Wayne/Gitangshu Adhikary)

Crimson Pulse - Blade Under the Blood Moon Chapter 1: The Night Virelios Held Its Breath The blood moon sat low and swollen, staining the glass towers the color of old wounds. Virelios did not sleep beneath it—it paused. Nyra Kael ran. Her boots touched down on the lip of a rooftop garden, rubber whispering against stone. She didn’t look at the plants. Upper-city greenery was decorative, engineered to survive neglect and look convincing from a distance. Her eyes tracked angles, distances, shadows where light bent wrong. She exhaled through her nose on the third step, adjusted pace by half a beat, and jumped. Wind slid under her coat as she cleared the alley. Three stories down, the street lay empty, traffic lights cycling pointlessly through green and red. Drones hovered higher than usual tonight, recalibrating, their paths drifting just enough to open seams in the grid. The blood moon did that. Threw off predictive models. Made math stutter. She landed, rolled, came up running. ...
