A piece from the story "The tower"

 

"That night she suddenly woke up feeling strange, as if something was really wrong. When she looked at my bed she swore she saw a woman sitting beside me. In the semi darkness she could see that it was a very beautiful woman wearing the dresses of British Era notch girls: glittering lehenga (Indian long skirt), choli (top that comes with it), chunni (stole) and ornaments of pure gold studded with real gems! They were sparkling in the moonlight that scattered on the bed. Her hair was long and not braided. It fell all over her body like another veil, black one."

 

"Who is it?" she mumbled incoherently.

"She just vanished right in front of my eyes! But not before I could see her eyes. They were glowing like the eyes of predators in dark."

"A shudder ran through my spine. It took me few seconds to gather courage and scream!"…your grandma told me later." Her father would have continued the story, surrounded by a bunch of gaping kids, swallowing every word that came out of his mouth.

"She said she felt like fainting but gathered her nerves and started screaming."

"Grandpa came running from the next room. He on his turn swears that he saw a black bitch skulking out of the room. He chased it but could not find it after reaching the garden. The main door to the house was wide open, and he remembered locking it himself before retiring to bed, no one took the blame for leaving it open at middle of night!"

 

This too is in Shoptly now. You can check it out there!

  Step by step our country is being led back to primitive times, back in the times when men lived in caves and if they fancied a woman they dragged her by hair and forced themselves upon them [gangrape of a child in Hathras, U.P. the perpetrators were helped widely by U.P. Govt.'s police and BJP supporters, trying to nail the girl's family for her death, calling it all a hoax.]. If any other man dared to look at their women they were clobbered to death or cause serious physical injury. The U.P. govt [where women certainly are not safe, and most probably still live the life of second class citizen in most places] recently legalized an outrageous law [blaming muslims of course, wicked fellows trying to steal Hindu girls in the name of Love Zehad] that makes women's bodies the properties of their family, their larger family, the state and the police but not theirs! If an adult Hindu girl decides to marry a Muslim man she will have to get approval of cops and he...
