The Farewell

By
   
It was the last day, 
The last day of us in school, 
The last few moments to spend with them,
In our second home, our school. 

Everyone was happy, 
Gossiping like the other days, 
Little did anyone realize, 
That it was their last meet, only the memories would stay. 

Although I was there among everyone, 
Trying to avoid the reality, 
But, my heart grew heavy, 
And to accept the harsh truth, My mind wasn't ready. 

With my mind full of memories, 
And the heart that grew so heavy, 
I went to a corner of the room, 
Trying to escape the reality. 

The memories added to the pain, 
I could see my old self clearly, 
He was enjoying his best days, 
Which had turned to memories recently. 

All the time I spent, 
With those, whom I used to call idiots, 
Seems so distant and unreal today, 
In front of the reality that awaits. 

All the singing sessions, 
At the end of classes, 
And all the promises to stay together, 
Seemed to have faded in darkness. 

The laughter of the jokes, the gossips, 
That once had to be silenced by teacher's scoldings, 
Is now going to be silenced forever, 
By time along with memories. 

The teachers, 
What about them? 
Will they miss us, 
Our gossips, the punishments they gave us, and the beautiful time spent. 

We have always seen 
The strict versions of them, 
Never thought how they feel, 
When those leave whom they consider as their own children.   

Realising the harsh truth, 
Didn't realise when tear covered my eyes, 
Wiped the tear, realised that everyone has to face the reality one day,     
Went back smiling to spent the last few moments with the friends of mine.

The Butcher Of Barcelona (Walter Wayne/Gitangshu Adhikary)

By
 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

By
 ( 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)

By
  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. ...
