The Devil's Playground
The church was empty, but for a single figure seated at the back. He wore a long, black coat and a wide-brimmed hat that obscured his face in shadows. His presence was unsettling, and those who passed him felt a chill run down their spine. But they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

Dark story " Kanchanai"
I just couldn’t sleep that night, for no apparent reason. My mind was neither troubled, nor was it overflowing with happiness to keep me awake thus. I am just like everyone else. Yet my job is not like that of anyone else. I write fiction. That is to say, I spin yarns, and make a living out of the journalistic establishments that are prepared to accept them.

This is what is called Creation, living in the land of the imagination et cetera. In fact liars like me are called other Brahmas, Second Creators. And I am the youngest in this lineage of duplicate Brahmas. When I think of all this, I feel some pride, certainly. Is the handiwork of Brahma false, too, like ours? Am I false?
