Once upon a time there lived a donkey named Dujon. He loved to sing and imagined that he would become the greatest singer in the World and the people would crowd in front of his house to hear him sing. The soothsayer who was responsible for instilling this idea in him, also taught him how he should achieve it. He told him to go to a particular temple once every week and bow before the deity to say a prayer. After that he should donate $1 to the deity. Dujon practiced regularly and went to the temple weekly to donate $1. The soothsayer, ho...
My Experience on becoming a Ghost All I can remember is that I had a major accident and was thrown out of my car on the road. I passed out and when I regained my senses, I found myself in the ICU of a hospital, wearing a mask through which I was breathing faintly. My right hand was heavily bandaged, and a tube connected through it to supply fluid drops intravenously. I was surrounded by gadgets and nurses and doctors were continuously monitoring the readings. I passed out again and when I recovered, I felt I was floating in the air...

He was standing near the doorway and surveying the golden banquet hall, which was filled with men in trendy suits...

Your strained relationship with your boss, whom you suspect to have been instrumental in depriving you of a deserved promotion. 2. Lack of freedom and encouragement to pursue innovative work in your project. 3. Your perceived notion that your views are deliberate...
I had come to spend my annual vacation in my favorite town of Bicholim, in the state of Goa. I was walking down the narrow street bordered by lush green grass lawns, interspersed with mango and palm trees. As I was passing the town library, I thought of meeting Mrs. DeSilva, the quinquagenarian librarian and an erudite scholar. She had written a few cozy mystery books for children where the crimes took place off stage and the wounds inflicted on the victim are seldom used as clues. They were very popular, and I was keen to know abo...

Subroto’s Reedsy Contest Submission Two strangers who are both heading to the same destination and agree to do a long-distance drive together It was well past midnight when the Doon Express from Kolkata entered the railway station in Dehradun. An athletic looking, dark-complexioned man, Roberta, alighted from the train dragging a Rollaboard suitcase and carrying a shoulder bag. He walked hurriedly towards the waiting room and pushed the door open. There were no passengers inside and he seated himself comfortably in an ...
