Clouded with your thoughts, love!

-

A kind note to all the readers, I request you to read the previous episodes before reading this episode.

    The soothing music of the ‘Lost cause’ brought me back to my childhood. I was clouded with the thoughts of the day I met her. I was doing my undergrad in psychology. It was a fine sunny Monday morning and the clock was running forty minutes past nine. I was on a bus, going to a place where commoners would dare to go. After a twenty-minute ride on a bumpy road, I eventually reached the place. It was an asylum and I was there to visit a special person. A person who triggered my attention. I came to know about a patient, who killed her entire family. My thesis instructor asked me to pay a visit to that asylum and stay there for a while and make a detailed report about that woman. I was very much excited to hear such an interesting piece of news. It was my dream since childhood to go to an asylum and spend some time with the people who live there. I entered the asylum, going past two security checks and a check post filled with guards carrying  Aks. The deputy warden James received me at the entrance with a humble smile and started giving me instructions that I should follow when I stay inside the asylum. He was so strict with the rules and ordered me not to visit ward C after light. Ward M, F and O were free to access. But, for ward C, I was imposed with a ton of rules. I shouldn’t go to that ward after sunset. During light, whenever I go inside that ward, I will be accompanied by two armed guards and the ward was fortified like a prison because it was the ward for psychiatric criminals and sociopaths.

    ‘Mr. James. Ward C, is it criminals? Like Ward Criminals, ward C. is that it right?’ I asked him with a stammering mouth. To which he responded yes with his polite smile.

    ‘So, Master…?’ he stammered.

    ‘Duncan it is.’ I said with a smile.

    ‘Sorry, Mr Duncan, you can visit ward C today. So, suit yourself in the room we’ve arranged for you and get some rest. Meet me at the warden's chamber morrow at nine. We’ll pay a visit to your special person.’ He said and pointed towards my room.

A few hours later,

    I was bored of resting in my room. Which made me wonder about the person I was about to see. I very well knew her name. Agnes was it. Agnes Barbosa, a fine woman turned into a brutal psychopath who murdered her own brother and father and mother and ate the cat they raised alive. On the table next to my bed, was there a file longing for me to read. My pupils dilated as soon as I saw the name on the file. Yeah, Agnes Barbosa was it.

    ‘So, let’s know who you are, Miss Agnes.’ I said and opened the file.

 

Will be continued…

She used to write stories, and articles under different blogs and sometimes she used to write for several news agencies. She was running a website on her own. In which she featured her stories and articles. She was quite famous among her circle of writers. She used to live in a one-bedroom flat in Coimbatore. Despite writing content and stories, she had great interest towards witchcraft and the existence of evil spirits. She has a dedicated room for her studies related to this stuff in her house. Not many people knew her interest towards demonic studies. But she had a friend who knew everything about her.       Bharath was a year younger than his friend Keerthi. They were so close that they knew everything about each other. Bharath was Keerthi’s college junior. Since that time, they have been close to each other. He was a writer too. While Keerthi used to write stories and articles, he used

Dear Valentine

        Hey, have you loved someone? Yes? No? Okay. Never mind. No one can say that I’ve never loved someone. That’s coz, it obvious that we all have somebody in our life whom we love the most. It can be anyone or anything. Yeah, we can fall in love with things too. I think you can relate to this anything part I said if you’ve seen the bitter part of love. Here the love I mean is the love towards someone who’s magical to our eyes. Beautiful isn’t it? Being with someone who makes us feel special, who never fails to call us magical, yeah. That’s a phase of something great filled with excess dopamine and ecstasy. Fortunately, these both have some limits and they’ll drain out after sometime. Have you ever felt like, “I don’t have the same feelings for her or him like I used to have when we started talking?” Ever? Thought like this? Yeah I’ve gone through the same dilemma. But you know what? Loving someone or loved by someone even when there is no more dopamine or ecstasy is damn amazing. I

After clicking the publish button on the interface, she desperately wanted to close her laptop and doze off. But it was then, she noticed something strange on her screen. It was Instagram with a red dot on top of it. She clicked to open it. There was a message from someone called Javier.       ‘She’s coming.’      ‘7 nights and 6 days,' was the message from that person. She was too tired to think about that message. She just closed the lid of the laptop and dozed off to sleep.  The next morning,      The clock was running past eight and she was still sailing deep in sleep. It was then, her mobile started ringing so loud as it used to ring all the time. After a few rings, she realised it and woke up to answer that call. It was Bharath.      ‘What’s the matter? Let me sleep for some time,’ she said as soon as she answered the call.
