issues



He wakes up in cold sweat. Not that this was an unusual thing for him but it still makes his heart race like a gray hound. Nightmares are a part of his life. Hus whole body’s shaking and with those shaking hands, he pops some pills into his hand and gulps them down with some water. He kneels down and sits taking deep breaths. He’s calm after a few minutes. He calls, even though it’s midnight, he cals, believing that she’ll receive the call.
“what happened?”- a reply
“it struck again.”
“take the pills. Please take care of yourself yaar”
“I just did. I will. How are you?”
“I’m fine. A bit sleepy though”
“then go to sleep. You have college tomorrow.”
“I will. But first you go to sleep”
“think I’ll go for a ride. good night dear”
“good night. make that right short will ya?”
“ok”
he hangs up and turns on his computer. After sending some songs to his cell phone, he quietly sneaks out of his house with his bicycle. The cold air is refreshing. He then rides along the three hour long highway that is right in front of his house. Being more of a loner, he enjoys the empty street. Riding under the glare of the full moon, he stops after a few minutes, gets off his bike and pulls out his cigarette.
-RING-RING-
“I told you not to smoke didn’t i??” it was her
“where are you?” confused he asks
“right behind you”
shocked at her reply, he turns around and yes indeed it was her. 
she was in her jacket and a black track suit. Her hair was open, teeth sparkling which matched her sparkling eyes shadowed by her glass which shone reflecting the open moon; matching with a teeth that was out of place.
     He found her beautiful nonetheless.
“why do you smoke?”
“i… have told you this”
“you still miss her don’t you? Apparently enough to ride in such a cold weather; in the middle of the night”
“yes I do”
“don’t worry”
“lets ride shall we?”
they rode In silence. After about two hours, they reach her house. “go now. And don’t ever sneak out”
“same goes for you”
he rides some more but just a  few minutes past, he gets bumped into a stone. His anger kicks in. such a small thing could anger him. He knew it was illogic thing to do but he got angry anyways. Well angry enough to want to toss his bike into the corner. His anxiety kicks in and everything slowed down.
His strength came up from nowhere and he lifted his bike above his head like it was a toy and then he threw it far, at least far enough to crash into a wall and break.
A shock jolts back him to the present. His data cable had been ripped and his cell phone was in his hands. He was standing in his own room. The message on the screen showed “error! The device couldn’t be found”
He face palms and takes some more anti-hallucinogen and goes back to bed but before he goes back to bed he checks his call log, yes he had called her, he had called riza but apart from that everything else was a hallucination.

3-Monochrome

"Why is the world so dark and grey? It seems like I am being the same thing I wanted to change, the same beast I sought to fight against '' was the first thing he thought one morning when he woke up. The past three months had been kind to him in some terms and in other terms had been bad as well but he had lost the light that he once had but rather just like his poem said he was now in a grey zone. He still was the emo king that he always was but something inside him had changed and that something inside him had been speaking for quite a while since the past three months. He needed to change.  "This voice is not her's anymore, this feeling is not her's anymore, it is something different and it is something new, what is it though? Whose voice is this?" he thought as he sketched one day. This was a large scale charcoal sketch that he was working on and it was as large as his room wall that is 8 feet by 12 feet. Now with him taking on other small scale jobs,...

ALMOST REMEMBER

Well he is a weird guy to begin with. Doing random stuffs, talking about the most unexpected of things at most unexpected of times. He woke up that night to the sound of thunder. Not because he was scared of it but because the thunder called out to him. He went up to the terrace and watched the sky. It was beautiful. He stared at the sky for some time and a fragment of memory came to his mind      It was a thundering evening and he just had a fight, big fight with one of his closest friend. He had gone to his music class with a gloomy face and she had tried to cheer him up. No! he couldn’t remember her name or face but he just remembered that she was someone important to him. The thunder jolts him back from his stream of memory.      He spent the whole day trying to remember who that person was. Maybe she…No she definitely was a part of the memory that had been blocked. He was restless the whole day. Soon it was evening and he had a hab...

A regular - Chapter 2

It all began with a small idea for them. They were just graduating from the university when the talk about an idea began. At first it was just a side fantasy for them. I mean they just graduated from the university; they still have to do other jobs to sustain their pocket money. But as they began to talk more and more about the idea the idea seemed not so impossible. The idea was about a small private business about the ear accessory. They began to frantically save for their small dream. After a year of saving they finally managed the starter money. As both of them Kusal and Biplov has side jobs to go to they made a tea shop near a pond their meeting and discussing point. They became regulars to that tea shop. They smoked, drank coffee, wrote down their ideas for the starting point and where to store their product. As they discussed the idea about being an online shop seemed more feasible in accordance to their current situation. After more than fourteen months of planning and...
