SunTalk

The sun was on its way to the West. He saw an old man sitting on a rock. He said, "I have been watching you every evening sitting on the same rock watching me. It's irritating when people stare at you for nothing." The man smiled at the sun and said, "You have been watching me every single day of my life and I never complained. Now look at you whining about me staring at you." The sun realised that if he stays longer chit chatting with the guy he will be late for home and his wife the moon will get upset as she and her kids - the stars, were ready for their outing. So he just glared at the man. But the man laughed "Oh mighty sun, by evening your strength has been drained. I can out-glare you easily."  The sun gave up and rushed home. Tomorrow I will make him pay for his insolence, he thought.

Death Wish

I have to write. Those were the words that escaped the dying man's lips. He was found lying unconscious near a mountain of blank paper. His autopsy revealed over exhaustion as the reason. But what did he want to write so badly that it killed him, no one knows. The task was designated to the junior cop who was part of the investigation team. Let's call him Namura. So here we are with Namura in a room with the mountain of blank paper. He is awed as to why should there be so many papers near a dying man. He picks a sheet on the top. He studies it.

He feels angry about the whole situation. Here I am, staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering why someone who wanted to write so badly didn't write a single word, while the whole world is sleeping on their comfy beds. He wanted to tear the ...

Rodentia

Last night they discovered a human in the sewers, screamed the headline on Daily Vermin Times. Ed Rat paused to scan the headline and sipped his morning tea. He was in charge of the highly successful Human Extermination Programme. He came from the highly acclaimed family of rats that had unleashed Plague on the frail human race centuries ago. At that time rats used to be in the sewers and the humans used to be outside. Maybe they too had a Vermin Extermination Program. How ironic, thought Ed. We were destined to rule the world. We withstood their poison and laboratory tests. In fact, the tests made us stronger and resistant to the diseases. Now look at them hiding in sewers away from us, fearing us. The telephone rang. Ed woke with a start from his reverie. There must be something wrong, he thought. My room has shrunk, there are metal bars everywhere. It looks like a cell. I can see my cousins in another cell. They are all playing with something. What's this lump on my hand? What...
