Darkness was dancing in the corners of my vision. Wind was whipping my hair. Cold was coaxing its way into the breeze. Tears were pooling in my eyes. Pebbles were slipping into my thin slippers and adding a sharp pain to my feet. The open sky, bushes and mountains were my only solace.

Is it foolishness to dare? Or is it just some bait? I don’t know... Poignant...

Disclaimer: This post has been written as a part of The Indian Bloggers League, 2013 conducted by Writeup Cafe I was sweating profusely. The indicator of my air conditioner showed 23.

My face kept changing expressions from those of despair to fear. My hands laid a tight grip on the blanket...

It didn't help his appearance that he always wore the most atrocious clothes. So did he even today, on one of the most important days in his life. He wore a sleeveless tee, with a black jacket and jeans. They were traumatized seeing him in such an attire. Shocked faces and raised eyebrows greeted him.

It’s a quake!! Earthquake!! I shouted as I felt the earth shook beneath my feet and immediately ran through the series of stairs leading to the compound of my building. I witnessed the ceilings giving up, crashing onto the ground with a loud thud and eventually leading to the collapsing of the building. Those who had enough time to escape survived, rest just vanished into the thick cloud of dust. Pool of blood got mixed with the cement, iron rods,...
