You're not leaving so soon, are you?

Excerpt from Forest of the Dark

“Where is he?” He heard the gruff voice of the leader.

Dhiraj scrambled to his feet, almost slipped over his own pool of vomit, then grabbed a branch to steady himself.

He started running again, even though he knew that the men would catch up to him like before. But he had to try. He just had to!

He turned his head and saw no one was chasing him yet. Pausing, he jogged on one spot, watching behind him, expecting the men to pursue him with weapons.

When there still wasn’t any sign of them, he started running again and ran straight into someone. The force with which he hit someone’s muscled chest, propelled him back and he fell on his back with a thud.

He howled in agony and writhed on the ground. He was caught!

A face appeared above him, but it was not one of them. His face was black and static, and his eyes glowing red. Dhiraj was certain it was just dark clouds forming on his vision before he would become unconscious, but when the apparition spoke, his heart turned into ice.

“You’re not leaving so soon, are you?”

Dhiraj raised his neck, to see the figure standing before him. The static clouds were gradually taking shape until it took form of someone he was familiar with.

When he made out the form of the figure, Dhiraj let out a gasp.

“Sumit?”

His nemesis from his college days, gave a wide toothed grin, then in an instant, he had pounced and grabbed his leg.

Dhiraj screamed, certain Sumit’s spirit had come to seek vengeance and would complete his task by ripping out his throat. Instead, the apparition caught hold of his right leg and started to drag him through the trees.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon.
