I was asleep when I heard some sound. I woke up and noticed that there were 3 small children standing in front of me. I noticed that my throat and lips were dry. So, I took the bottle of water which was nearby and drank some of the water. The 3 children kept quiet and did not show any reactions.

(Image source: Flickr)The steel ladder was cold…I looked up, the ladder went on but I could not see the start of the ladder. I looked down and it was the same case. I looked around and found that the surrounding was dark and had very little light to see. Clearly I was in some shaft – it was cold & breathable. I anticipated my next move – should I climb up or climb down. Where was the ground? Up

The Sniper

(Image source: http://img.dailymail.co.uk) There was very little room for the sniper. He had travelled through an underground tunnel and had found a good spot in a large empty pipe facing a busy market place. The opening was small enough for anyone to notice the sniper but big enough for the sniper to pick his target and have a clean shot.The sniper however was very cautious – his “one shot,

The Room

The room was dark…A dim light was switched on and I regain my visions. I was in a small room, surrounded by shelves of books and dust full items. There was a lonely bulb on the ceiling.

The spot was vacant alright but the car in front had taken part of the vacant spot.Who was the idiot who parked his car on the 2 parking spot, I asked myself as I was contemplating
