Rainbows
Sally’s universe was the denizen of darkness. A feeling of emptiness and gloom shrouded her, whenever thoughts of Rick came across her mind. She brooded on her past, of her innocent love being betrayed, and her blueness reached its zenith, urging her to end her existence. Then a ray of hope irradiated her world. A man stepped into her life. John was affectionate and loving. All her long cherished dreams came true when he decided to marry her. She had finally found the Man of her Dreams who would fill her life with colorful rainbows. Her depression subsided completely forever.


Reality or Dream?
Priya was sleeping peacefully. The full moon, heavy with its weight, was about to topple from the sky. Suddenly a blood-curdling scream split the silence. Priya woke up with a start. That must be a nightmare she thought and was going to dismiss the idea when again she heard it. Following the direction of the sound she tip-toed and reached her verandah. She saw a woman dressed in a white sari. Startled, she called her. The lady did not answer. Bewildered, she nudged her. Priya saw her face. It was pallid, with no eyes, nose or lips, a blank countenance.


The Accident
An accident occurred to me three years ago. One day, in the kitchen, the bursting of a stove scalded me.

"Where am I now?'' I asked .The mangy hospital walls seemed to stifle me.

The sideways mirror gave me shivers. A portion of my neck was severely burnt. I was horrified by looking at the stranger in the mirror.

Doctors dressed my ulcerous wounds.

The only glint of happiness was given by a nurse called Dolly who tried to make me happy by singing and telling stories.


Gradually I recovered but I now miss her, the Angel in my Life.
