21st Century New York Spectrum The name of the nightclub was written in bold neon letters outlined by pink lights, while bright- yellow bulbs bordered the giant board carrying the sign of the club. The exterior of club was brightly illuminated, opposed to the dark and moonless sky. The stars in the night sky blink on several occasions to look over the empty streets from behind the clouds. Where the rest of the town was asleep, Spectrum was still up and full of life. It was a perfect hub for entertainment and bar. An array of bouncers stood guarding the front entrance and looked over the long line of club-goers, which wasn’t showing any sign of abating. The place was famous and safe as compared to the other entertainment venues of the neighborhood. Guests were wearing their best and to pass the time were conversing while waiting for their chance to step inside because the place was already packed and didn’t have room for more. After some five minutes, when the horde of drunken tee

21st Century New York It was one in the morning when Alex reached his mansion. After a long mental battle, he decided to take Lauren to his place instead of her own. He feared that he might end up saying something disrespectful if her father came in sight. Lauren may get angry over the issue of waking up at Miller’s residence, but he will manage. After parking the car inside the garage, he lifted her passed-out figure bridal style without breaking any sweat and entered the silent mansion. Only it wasn’t silent anymore because the moment he crossed the threshold, the lights turned on and a fuming Stefan Miller opened his mouth to give his son a good scolding. But the moment his eyes fell on the limp girl in his arms, words stuck in his throat, and he pressed his lips together. Various scenarios rushed through his mind, and all were negative.

For someone who vowed to stop caring, Lauren arrived at her house feeling nervous. When Stefan announced the news of a charity event, it knocked the air out of her lungs. The sudden revelation pushed her under the bus. That was not part of her plan. She was supposed to take a break, lay low, and watch some television marathons to pass the time and distract herself from the situation at hand. But no, the wise Stefan had to invite her over a function, and she lacked the guts to refuse. Perfect Instead of grabbing an ice cream and warming her eyes by watching sexy Turkish actors, she had to hunt a bloody dress. A scoff escaped her lips as she closed the front door and made a beeline towards her room, only to be stopped by Nancy. Of all the people, Lauren wasn’t ready to have a closure with Nancy

21st Century New York As the evening passed by, more people showed up at the venue. The fancy lights only made it look more breathtaking. The necks of women glowed with shiny diamonds. Expensive gowns hugged their bodies like a second skin. Lauren observed the scene with utmost distaste and would give a fake smile to those who pass by her side. Alex was standing a foot away, observing her like a hawk. His eyes scanned the surroundings and, suddenly his body thrummed with cold when noticed a series of armed bodyguards camouflaged in the background. He frowned upon the tight security. His father must be going through a rough phase to go over such measures. He thought absentmindedly and scrutinized a particular direction when caught a suspicious movement behind one of the pillars. His body screamed when he saw a shadow disappearing into the kitchen area, pulling a heavy waste bin behind them. Why will someone carry a filled bin in the kitchen area? Before he could inspect the situati

Have you ever felt it? This feeling where your otherwise creative mind turns numb as if a pair of hands are holding it in a tight grip disabling it from running the actual thought process. You feel stuck and slowly start to realize how the reins of your life are in someone else’s hands. That you’ve become a puppet to dance on someone else’s desire and had no control over your own life or actions. You conclude that you’ve stopped living for yourself a long ago and enjoying the things that once made you smile. The heart which used to skip beats with the joyous rhythm of the music was now only throbbing, indicating that you are still alive. Still, breathing. The shelter that once provided you protection has now turned into a structure of bricks and walls telling how little you hold in life. Lauren felt the same as she stared at the two men looking at her and her supposed future husband expectantly. Her blank eyes looked at their once-handsome faces and the bile raised her chest. They di

The cheering crowd was silenced when the peaceful music of piano and violin engulfs the atmosphere in a warm and fuzzy hug once again. Stefan hugged his son and patted his back proudly and then embraced Lauren and kissed her forehead. “God bless both of you.” He whispered and then Mason took his spot and shook hands with Alex whereas awkwardly gave his daughter a side hug.

Fear An emotion that rests in our conscious mind all the time but only acts when the darkness is perceived instead of the light at the end of the tunnel. It comes forward when the walls start to close and the dreams that once were fabricated with hope- shatters. It thrives in the heart that loses faith. It fills the lungs that no more desire to breathe and shows the sign of surrender. It glides on the spines that are hesitant to collide with the storms. It gawks through the eyes that have seen horrors of doomsday. It freezes the courage when the thought of losing too much looms over the head, when the flash of those faces, around which your world revolves, appears on the dark side. The two women resting on the stiff benches of the renowned hospital were going through those terrors. Their eyes didn’t stop tearing since the moment they were called about the dreadful news. The monotonous voice of a shocked nurse when reached their ears, they collapsed like some old dam and weakly rush
