Where thoughts become stories.
Serial stories in parts and short pieces from the inner world. Romance, kids, horror, crime, and thoughts about memory, dreams and hope. Start at part one; we remember where you stopped.
Some stories run twenty-five parts. Some are one sitting. Some are a single sentence. All of them began as a thought that would not sit still.
Stories worth staying up for
అమ్మమ్మకి పని లేదు
అమ్మమ్మ విశ్రాంతి తీసుకోవాలన్నదే నియమం. అమ్మమ్మకు వేరే ఆలోచనలు ఉన్నాయి — పదకొండు గ్లాసుల కాఫీతో సహా.
ప్రశ్న చెట్టు
హైవే దాబా వెనకున్న రావి చెట్టు కింద, అర్ధరాత్రి దాటాక ఏదో ఒక ప్రశ్న అడుగుతుంది. తప్పు చెప్తే పొద్దున కొమ్మల్లో దొరుకుతారు. సరిగ్గ…
రెండు గండాలు
జనం గుమిగూడిన ప్రతి చోటా అతను గాజు సిరంజితో తిరుగుతాడు. ఆ సూది ఎవరికీ తెలియదు. రెండు గండాలు గడిచిన వాళ్ళకు తప్ప.
బుల్లి భూతం తో ముగ్గురు అల్లరి పిల్లలు
తెల్లని చిన్న శరీరం, పెద్ద కళ్లు, చిరునవ్వు. భయం కలిగించే భూతం కాదు.

Thoughts too short to be stories
The landlord has raised your rent every year except this one. Instead he has left a sealed envelope and told you to open it only if he dies.
You have been sending your mother voice notes every day for a year. Her phone has been in your sister's drawer the whole time.
The local cinema still runs one show of the same 1987 film every Friday at noon. The ticket counter says it is always sold out.
Your new tenant pays in old five-hundred notes, the ones banned in 2016. Every one of them is crisp and in sequence, and every one is real.
Your father's cycle has hung on the verandah wall for twelve years. This morning the tyres are full and there is mud on them.
A girl at the bus stop has been reading the same novel for three months, one page a day. You have started buying a copy to keep pace with her.
