FORTUNE DISFAVOURS?

The killer was working with measured and smooth movements.
His actions seemed practised,like he had done this very same thing many, many times.
He was not hurried, savouring each strike as he dug a grave.
The whites of his teeth flashed as he laughed silently in joy.
Suddenly the desolation of the night was broken by the faint hum of a car engine.
He had just enough time to take cover as the car turned and the bright headlights lit the dark night.
The car came to a stop on the untended driveway.
Standing framed in the headlights was the silhouette of a woman.
Saritha was spooked by the moonless night. She had not anticipated coming in so late.
The discordant sound of metal striking the ground in the far distance made her pivot suddenly………excerpt from the short story, “The Black Overall.”

Thirteen tales that take you on a journey through space and time.
From ancient kingdoms to the modern-day megapolis.
From rural India to urban England.
Thirteen tales that are different yet connected.
Connected by the universality of emotions.
Connected by mysterious wooden warrior dolls.

Thirteen tales that warm, chill & surprise.
