The Witch I fell in love with #1

-

    On a pleasant evening, I was there waiting for you in a place where the sky was covered with a blanket made of roses, cute little cupids with beaks singing and the trees were dancing to the tune of love. Then came the minions of colours to add some nectar to the place and finally, the carrier came, carrying the scent of your love to where I was waiting for you. I made sure that every inch of that place was filled with the love I had for you. There you came, like a queen’s envoy to her king, like a Rose to Jack, like an Olivia to Orsino, with your never-ending charm. You came in, like a fjord, that goes deep inside the heart of the land.

    All of a sudden, I felt something strange happening around me, every step you took forward, I began to move away from you. It was not my feet that were moving. I felt the scent of ghouls around me. I felt like, I was held tight to their hands that took me away. It was then, that I lost the scent of your love, the place grew colder, the cupids stopped their rhyme and the crows filled the trees. The trees, they were no more dancing, they stood still as if they were frozen. The branches were naked. The minions who took the nectar of colours, fell one by one, freezing to death. The place that I considered heaven, the place that was filled with love, seemed like a burnt battlefield filled with corpses and vultures. The carrier who carried the scent of your love, brought to me a foul smell of a witches brew to seduce men and you, my dear, you were there, not like a queen’s envoy, but as a witch with a goat’s horn piercing out of your head, you were coming to me like a fjord made of everything that was dead. the sky which was covered with a blanket made of roses turned into a blanket made of blood and tissues. I heard some monstrous voice from above, far beyond the blood-soaked clouds. Within a few seconds, those clouds broke out, pouring down all the blood they bore, soaking me with the blood and tissues of the dead.

    ‘What the fuck?’ I shouted a loud waking up from the nightmare. It was two minutes for the clock to hit two at night and I heard someone was calling me over the phone at this time, which was dead for the past two months.

 

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.

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.
