Lost and Found: A Twin’s Journey

Lost and Found: A Twin’s Journey Twin sisters torn apart by betrayal and fate find their way back to each other through unexpected twists and the kindness of a stranger. A story of survival, forgiveness, and new beginnings. Hannah and Kathy were twin sisters studying at the same college. One day, Hannah borrowed Kathy’s car and drove off with her friends, leaving Kathy to take the bus home. But that night, Hannah didn’t return—and she wasn’t answering any calls. Meanwhile, Kathy was struggling too. A supposed friend gave her a drink that made her dizzy, and she passed out. When she woke up three days later, she was locked inside a strange apartment. Panicked, she broke the loose lock, fled down the stairs, and escaped the building. Later that day, when Hannah finally arrived home, disheveled and dirty, Kathy didn’t recognize her. Mistaking her for a beggar, Kathy shut the door in her face. Hurt and alone, Hannah went to her friends’ houses, but none of them helped. Exhausted a...

Kevin’s Pranks and Ryan’s Patience



Kevin’s Pranks and Ryan’s Patience


What begins as a classroom prank between a mischievous student and a quiet newcomer turns into an unexpected friendship. Through laughter, notes, and one unforgettable game of hide-and-seek, this story shows how friendships can bloom in the most surprising ways.


When Mr. D introduced a new student to our reading class, all eyes turned to him. “This is Ryan,” Mr. D said with a warm smile. “Find an open seat and get settled.” Ryan glanced around nervously before quietly walking to the back of the room, choosing the seat near the window.


The next day, things didn’t go quite as smoothly. As Ryan pulled out his notebook, he discovered a sticky piece of gum stuck right on top of his book. “Gross!” he muttered. Kevin, the class prankster, snickered nearby. Kevin was well-known in Mr. D’s classroom for causing trouble and never taking anything seriously.


During a spelling test, Kevin nudged Ryan under the desk and whispered, “Hey, check out my paper.”


Ryan shook his head. “Oh jeez… I can’t share answers or I’ll get in trouble too.”


Kevin smirked. “Yeah, that’s right. Forget about that now. You wanna be friends?”


Ryan hesitated, then smiled. “Sure.”


And just like that, a strange friendship began—born out of pranks and surprises. They started writing funny notes and leaving them in the boys’ locker room, like: “Do not open unless you want to laugh!” They shared jokes, fake complaints about homework, and even silly doodles.


One afternoon, as they walked to the cafeteria with their trays, Kevin leaned over and said, “Oh guess what—I failed all my classes. I’m repeating the year.”


Ryan looked at him, shocked. “That’s sad to hear, but if you need help, I’ll—”


“Got you!” Kevin burst out laughing. “I was joking.”


Ryan rolled his eyes. “You got me good.”


After lunch, they scribbled a note on a napkin and tossed it toward a table full of girls: “Want to be friends? Meet us at the park after school.” Surprisingly, it worked. That afternoon, the girls showed up—curious and giggling.


At the park, Ryan and Kevin led the group in a game of hide-and-seek. Kevin, always the one with a plan, told the girls to hide by the pine trees. “Stay close,” he instructed with a grin.


But the girls had a trick of their own.


When Ryan and Kevin opened their eyes after counting, the girls were gone. Completely. No giggles, no footsteps—just silence.


“They were supposed to hide near the trees…” Ryan said, scanning the area.


“Where did they go?” Kevin added, his voice lowering. A faint breeze rustled the leaves.


Then they spotted something: an old, broken-down building at the edge of the park with a door swinging open in the wind. Slowly, they approached it.


“Should we go in?” Ryan asked.


Kevin gulped. “You first.”


They peeked behind the wall—and suddenly, a burst of laughter exploded around them. The girls had been hiding there the whole time.


“You got us!” Kevin said, laughing as he clutched his chest. “I thought you disappeared!”


“That’s for the cafeteria napkins!” one of the girls shouted.


From that day on, the whole group—Ryan, Kevin, and their new friends—became inseparable. Hide-and-seek, lunch table notes, inside jokes—what started as a prank turned into something real: friendship.




Sometimes, the best friendships start with a prank—and grow with patience, laughter, and a little hide-and-seek.

Beneath the Neem Tree

Beneath the Neem Tree This story is a reflection of a real place—rooted in memory, love, and quiet moments beneath the shade of a tree that stood for generations. The neem tree at the heart of this story was no ordinary tree. It was a well-known, evergreen beauty—gracefully spreading its branches and standing as the tallest tree in the center of our courtyard. Planted by my grandmother’s father-in-law, it became a living witness to family life, childhood joys, and the passage of time. Though the tree is no longer there, its presence lives on in the memories we carry. In the heart of a noisy, fast-growing city stood an old house, and in the middle of its courtyard grew a neem tree—tall, proud, and deeply rooted in both soil and memory. This neem tree wasn’t planted by chance. It was placed there by my grandmother’s father-in-law, many decades ago, with care and intention. Over the years, it grew into something more than just a tree. Its wide branches spread like arms embracing the house...

The Vacant Room

The Vacant Room Intro: Some doors are better left unopened. In this psychological horror short, a girl named Lisa vanishes inside her own home — only to return changed. What happens in the vacant room stays with her… and maybe with you too. When night falls, the house is swallowed by darkness. Lisa, home alone, walks through the quiet halls of the big, echoing home. Every second, the house seems to whisper — floorboards creak, the lights flicker, and the door to the old west wing bangs open and shut on its own. Curiosity outweighs her fear. Lisa walks to the mysterious door. She opens it… and then suddenly, the house shifts. She’s locked inside. The room is cold and bare, its air thick and wrong. A black cat slinks out of the shadows, meowing sharply, its eyes fixed on her like it knows something. Lisa backs into the corner of the vacant room, trembling, unsure of how she got in… or how to get out. She stays there all night, sweating, shivering, waiting for daylight. Bu...

Lucky Charm

  Lucky Charm What would you do if money started appearing out of nowhere — not once, but again and again? Caleb, a gentle and honest soul, finds himself at the center of an unexplained mystery on his terrace. This short story explores wonder, fear, and the quiet magic of life that disappears the moment we try to explain it. C aleb lived a quiet life. He was soft-spoken, gentle, and known in the neighborhood for always telling the truth — even when it didn’t benefit him. His days followed a peaceful rhythm: work in the morning, a jog in the afternoon, and music in the evening. But it was the terrace he loved most. That little open space on the rooftop was his retreat. He’d go up each evening, water the green chilies and baby tomatoes he’d planted in ceramic pots, and sit with a cup of tea, watching the sun slide behind the buildings. The terrace smelled of earth and sky, and to Caleb, that was comfort. One ordinary Tuesday, as he bent down to check on a sprouting tomato plant, he s...
