Eny In The Bloodline

Envy in the Bloodline Three sisters. One stolen necklace. A curse that reveals more than jealousy — it uncovers the truth of who we really are. Faith, Kelly, and Lucy were sisters — bound by blood, but not by heart. Where Faith was gentle and honest, Kelly was playful and careless. Lucy, however, was different. Jealousy lingered in her eyes, like a shadow that never left. One sunny afternoon, the trio visited a shopping mall. They stopped at a jewelry shop where a white pearl necklace gleamed behind glass. Faith admired it quietly, reading the $590 price tag with hesitant fingers. “That necklace is made for you,” Kelly said with a wink. Lucy rolled her eyes. “It’s not worth it.” Despite the comments, Faith bought the necklace, paying $610 in cash and leaving the change behind. That night, as silence blanketed the house, Lucy crept into Faith’s room and stole the necklace from her purse. The next day, she sold it to a passing woman for $900 — and splurged the money on high heels and fan...

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...
