“Come” Monu beckoned him, “It will be fun!”
He has walked past this area dozen of times, only from up above- by the bridge. He never thought someone will come down here “to have fun”.
They have hookied the school and Monu had made him spend all his pocket money on a bottle of whisky.
“Grow up!” was all he has heard when he has feebly protested.
They settled down under the bridge. It was dark there, deserted but littered with bottles and butts of cigarettes- saying a tell tale story of others who frequented the place.
“Give me a swig…” a nasal voice rang out, they both turned back to face the person and screamed as loudly as they could.
floating a few feet above the ground was a skeleton arm without a body attached to it.
“Just one swig…not the whole bottle…” they heard followed by a chuckle as they scampered up the slope to reach the road above.
A bookworm transformed into an addicted writer. I love to write and illustrate them myself. By love I mean love, no half-hearted relationship, a full-fledged, passionate love, I can’t pass two days in a stretch without writing/painting (cyber), just feel empty like lovers do when their lovers are away on a tour!
Even though I am thoroughly enjoying self-publishing with amazon, but if you like my work and want to publish my works in your magazine, books or better if you want to publish a book of my works please make me very happy by contacting me.
Or if you want to sell my works on commission basis only!! contact me, I will be quite relieved. Honestly writing and selling your own work is a very BORING combination. So you are more than welcome!

I remember my first and last cigarette on a roof top building. My ‘friend’ and I thought we would not be noticed, but the janitor on another roof noticed and while we didn’t really believe that he knew our parents we fled too. 🙂
those days were so amazing, were not they? I have never smoked or consumed alcohol… so have never tasted the thrill of forbidden fruit!
Some alcohol is like water to some folks. If you eat any fruit and are euphorically delighted then you have been to a similar place. But being relieved of ones senses by any means is less than clever. 🙂
then I am musicaholic 🙂
Silly kids were taught a scary lesson… Very good Sharmi. : )
🙂 glad that you loved it.
Ha, that should scare them straight. Serves them right. 🙂
🙂 thanks
