A four walls filled with darkness in every corner, and only a fainting lamp placed on a wooden table, emitted rays of light, falling on the face of Collin who sat on a chair. In his hand, there was a lighter that he clicked open every now and then, adding to the numbered light rays there were.

Not too far from him, but somewhere the light of the lamp couldn't reach, came the noise of a man groaning in pain and various solid objects clamoring against him. "Please... don't... don't kill me. Ah!"

Collin remained calm hearing the man getting battered with rods and human legs. He kept fidgeting with the lighter that he held in his hand.

"Boss! looks like he is going to die if we keep beating him like this," said one of the men.

Collin again lights up the lighter and brings it in their direction, and looks at the scene with utter sereneness on his face. A man lay on the floor half dead, and several other gang members surrounded him with tools in their hands. "But he hasn't opened his mouth

    A feast was set in a massive garden at nighttime, glittering with stars in the black sky and lightened with thousands of tiny bulbs on the trees and shrubs. Waiters and waitresses were treading back and forth with expensive bottles of wine in their hands, making their way through the tables set in a symmetrical order. That was just the buffet waiting with delicacies from around the world; prepared for the people who were to come from a party that was held inside the guest house, with individuals from the top of the corporate food chain invited. Even though it was called a party, there was nothing that these people were celebrating. Glasses frugally filled with wine clinked in the air frequently. Even with the music that was flowing the entire time, no one seemed to have came for dancing. It was just another excuse for them to make new connections and talk about trade. The trumpets, the violins, and the grand piano were playing their best to accompany the chats and discussions about

  • Miss Cold Gaze   An Ill-Fated Encounter

    On a normal day, inside Delicacy Umbrella, a popular fast food restaurant. The bustling place appears to be a beautiful picture from a healthy distance. But as we zoom in, we find details that are not as pretty as they seemed. Every single person sitting in that restaurant has a story behind being there at that particular time. Like zooming in on a photo to see its ugly details, we are going to find out about the life of Bob and Collin, a father and son who look as if they are just some other customers having family time. Collin, a 9-year-old with teeth yet to grow completely, was having a burger in a rather messy way to end up leaving a stain made of ketchup on his t-shirt. Bob, his father had his gaze stuck on Collin adorably eating the burger. He looked content watching that sight, even with a stomach empty since a time that was enough to have him starving by now. Colin swallowed a bit intensely like he had something to say. "Dad, are those men still coming for you? Then I will be

    Oriel and Collin were alone in the ripening night and a deserted road was all that surrounded them. In reality, both of them were frightened but Collin looked at the puerile face of Oriel and realized that he couldn't afford to let his fear show as he was trying to protect her. "Daddy," Oriel cried for her father, squinting her eyes to release tears. She was hurt from rolling on the rough road surface and had blood oozing out from the fresh wound. "Don't cry,I will take you to your dad." She stopped crying on hearing Collin's voice and looked at him with her round eyes. "Where is the handsome boy who was sitting beside me?" She asked in her chipmunk voice. "I am him... why?" Then all of a sudden, she began to cry again. "You're not handsome," she sounded even sadder this time. "You're so mean, I am leaving you alone if you don't listen to me."She stopped crying before suddenly raising her voice on him, "You can't leave me, I heard you promise my dad." "But you will have to list

    Oriel stood by the lifeless body of her father, not knowing what death meant. "Dad! get up! Dad!" She shook him to exhaust all her strength, expecting him to wake up any minute. Collin, who had witnessed the same feeling earlier that day, could communicate with her pain. "Oriel! try to understand." The nurse who chaperoned the kids in the morgue was constantly telling them to leave, but Oriel had her tiny fingers interlocked with her father's. "Dad! come with me," she cried. The nurse forcefully brought the kids outside, near the desk and yelled at Oriel, who kept trying to sneak inside. "Hey! you... behave." Her hand was firmly clutching her arm, and Oriel groaned from the pain of a strong grip. Collin came forward and released her hand from the nurse's. "I will keep an eye on her, she will behave." "Oh god! What crappy day?" spoke the agitated nurse. "Now, you little demons better tell me the number of some adult in your family." The nurse had the receiver in her hand and a fi

    "Alright, she can come with us," she had her hands tied and was left with no other option. "But... only until they find her family." Collin's mother named Bella, had failed her first marriage miserably due to the financial crisis that always surrounded Bob, which had also made him resort to excessive alcohol consumption and despicably swearing before the eyes of the little child. She saw glass shards lying on her path and made a detour to look for a paved flowerbed, and succeeded. She married a man who provided her with all the riches and comforts of the world, but couldn't make her forget her only son, who was still growing up under his father's negligence and suffering. Then one day, her wish was answered in the face of Bob's defeat and now she was dreaming to have a perfect life along with her loving and well-off husband, and her beloved son. Oriel's involvement didn't seem much of a big change for her and she agreed to accept the condition offered by her son. "Oriel, come wit

  • Miss Cold Gaze   A Happy Family

    When the day that felt longer than eternity ended, Oriel and Collin woke up together in their new home. They felt unfamiliar to open their eyes in that room and they looked at the clock."Oriel! get up, it's 9 am already," Collin told her.She didn't know how to read the clock, and while stretching her little arms the air, she rose and sat up on the bed. "My school is at 8 am. How much time is remaining?" she asked."You can't even tell time?" Collin asked in bafflement. "You say that moon is bigger than the sun, and you can't read time also, what do you even study in school?"All of a sudden, Bella barged in through the door. "Collin," she shouted as she fervently marched to him. "What are you doing here? Come with me, Roger wants to meet you."Collin was dragged by Bella, holding his hand to take him outside of the room, "Oriel!" she called. "You should come too."Oriel went nervous, reluctant to get up from the bed. But she didn't have any other choice except following what Bella h

    Bella visited the hospital in the suburb again, taking Oriel with her. On reaching there, Oriel once again attracted towards her queries and pitiful gazes. "Do you not have anyone else in your family?" they asked."Poor girl, orphaned at such a young age," they pitied."What happened to her father? I heard he was driving under influence to smash his car against a tree," they speculated.Bella was giving her attention to the formalities at the desk, while seating Oriel on the bench inside the corridor teeming with some people ill from all kinds of diseases and some bleeding from wounds and impaled skin. Oriel couldn't stay still; she swung her legs from one side to another while waiting for Bella. She was expecting to see her father once again, not knowing that the pen in Bella's hands had just allowed the hospital to cremate him.She was unaware of the ways the world worked, not told of the things that a signature on the paper was capable of. Bella was signing as a guardian of the ber

    Bella had received a fervent plea from Bob: to identify the dead body of George as his, so that he could emerge out of the dangers and threats that circled that name. Bella, although reluctant and unyielding at first, wavered at what Bob offered her in return: he convinced her that he would never try to find Collin."Are you telling the truth?" she asked taking the first step toward consenting to do as he was saying. "I won't leave you alone if you're lying."Bob talked Bella into his plan and she gave in to the conditions profiting for both of them. "Okay! now all I have to do is to identify him as my ex-husband, which means you."After hanging up the call, Bella went inside the hospital and approached the same desk, asking for an alteration in the documents stamped by her. "The body belongs to my ex-husband Bob Hastings," she changed her claim from the one she made previously.The nurse at the reception was suspicious when she saw Bella flipping from her words, "Mam, didn't you say

  • Miss Cold Gaze   One Full Moon Night

    Exquisite moonlight glowed upon the land during a starry night. Reflection of the moon was getting dissolved in the running water of a city lake. A little bridge built over the lake carried the presence of Oriel in a scarlet-red dress, tight on her narrow waist, shining shoes of the shade similar to her dress, and hair resting lose over her shoulder.She was waiting for someone, standing on the bridge, gazing at the beautiful moon drowning in the lake. Although there were other people, crossing the bridge to get to either of the sides, Oriel was the only one walking to and fro.She went closer to the railing of the bridge, leaned against it and continued staring at the moon's reflection in the lake. As she fixed her gaze calmly at the lake below, her face glowed and got reflected on the lake surface, appearing more exquisite than the moon itself.She suddenly felt a rapt pair of eyes on her face, she turned her head to the side, and saw Mr. Bruce coming towards from one of the ends of

    "You're the one who is pushing me away," he lamented.The usual warmth returned as his aura and his touch became comforting to her."I am sorry if I scared you just now," said Mr. Bruce. "I can only request that you keep this to yourself, I don't want others to see me as a sick person, and those eyes looking at me with sympathy, please don't do it."Saying this, Mr. Bruce walked away to gradually disappear from her sight. She sighed deeply coming back to her senses. "I just came back alive after almost dying?" she mumbled as she stood there.Then, she braced herself for the scolding that she was to receive from Dr. Ian. She headed back in his cabin and sneakily peeked through the door, she called Bonnie out. "Bonnie! let's go back home now."Bonnie sat on his father's lap, who immediately gathered some reports and stacked them one upon another. Seeing Oriel at the door, he called her by name and asked her to come in. "Miss Oriel! I have some important stuff to discuss with you."Oriel

After making such great use of my life, here I'm sitting in front you," said Mr. Bruce, with an unusual shine in his eyes. "I will advise you as a friend, there is definitely an almighty up there, giving each one of us the punishment of our Karma, so you better watch yourself as person."Dr. Ian could only sit still and serve silence as his reply, before saying, "if you are alive, you can always make amends for your doings, no one achieves anything if you die.""I didn't say that I regret my life, I mean, I have had fun always being at the top of the food chain and being the most feared person of all. If a short life is the price for what I have gained, then it is not at all a bad thing, in fact everyone would want this," replied Mr. Bruce.Oriel and Bonnie, stills hiding outside the sl

    Oriel organised Bonnie's closet as the latter was treading back and forth in her room, waiting for her father to return and take her to the amusement park. She didn't leave the sight of the clock above her and couldn't sit still even for a moment."Why is he not coming?" she asked, pouting.Oriel firmly shut the door of the closet and replied, "he must have gotten stuck with something urgent. Let's call him and find out."She reached her phone, trying to appease the upset Bonnie. She dialed to her father and passed the phone to her. The call went forward but nobody answered it. Bonnie grew more upset and anxious. "I hate him.""It's fine, he will be home soon." Oriel tried to convince her."Why don't you take me to the hospital?" requested Bonnie."Are you sick somewhere?" asked Oriel."I meant the hospital where my father works at. I want to go to him right now."She started acting like the typical princess of a palace and made it hard on the maid Oriel to calm her down. "I can't tak

But it's all those parents who saw that damn packet of cocaine with you, they are all on my heads, asking me to fire you.

There was someone at the door, and even after knowing that, he couldn't get himself to rise from the couch that he slept on. His face was damped with sweat and he was contracting his body because of the chills that made him shiver. His flesh had turned paler and his skin was burning with fever.Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!He felt worn-out and didn't have the strength left to attend the one who was aggressively pressing the doorbell. The person standing outside was also not willing to give up until the door was opened for them.Collin slowly placed his feet on the ground and reluctantly got up. He was still wearing the clothes from last night, and even when he looked his worst in that condition, he still appeared dashing.Ding Dong!"I swear I am gonna..." he was cranky at the one outside.He walked to the door with almost no energy and pulled the door open to find Ursu

    Sunrise of every other day had always brought a new hope in her eyes, but it was not the case that morning. She feared another unpredictable day that stood before her.She rose from her bed, like every other morning, she fixed her bed and came outside in the living room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Bella completely passed out, and several liquor bottles on the floor around her. It was not something that she had seen for the first time. It had been a scene that she saw almost everyday, and it irked her each time the same.She walked on her toes, trying to pass through the mess that was scattered all over the floor: glass bottles, tissues, and peanut shells were lying across the whole room."If I am ever allowed to kill one person in this entire world. You bet it is going to be you, Bella."She came in her balcony and breathed in fresh air. The morning sunshine was pleasant and the narrow street down her balcony had started to liven up with the chatters of her neighbors."Lo

    "Your delusions are getting worse day by day, we are going to Dr. Will's right now." He grasped tightly on her arm, trying to drag her from her feet. Her feisty personality didn't allow his force to work upon her; she freed her arm from his grip. "So now you are saying that I'm crazy?" "Isn't that what you wanted to prove by doing all this?" spoke Mr. Bruce. "You would have made an excellent actor. My friend is a film producer; I will give you his number. But this act isn't working on me anymore." "What makes you think that I'm cheating on you?" he asked. Suddenly, a man came walking toward them from the entrance. Ursula gestured him to come forward. "You think I'm acting like this on my assumptions, huh?" "Did you ask for me, mam?" the man asked. Mr. Bruce turned to take at look at him and saw the police officer from before standing there, lowering his head in front of her like a slave. "This is an old friend of mine.
