I always wondered how it would have felt to live till you get old. To die a natural death. To hold the hands of your partner and the eyes of the people who lived with you all this while and say goodbye. I just wondered how it would have felt to live beyond the age of 22.I am Macy and I died of leukaemia at the age people say you start living. In my defence, Taylor Swift did make a whole song on being 22! But here I am dead and gone, yet very much feeling 22.While walking in the garden of my dreams I wondered how it would have felt to live in reality. Here in heaven, each soul has its own place to live and these places are the mix of all the dreams you saw as a living being.We also have neighbours but we are not allowed to step out of our dreams or else we face severe consequences. Some of my neighbours are friendly and some are like humans. You know what humans are like, right. But these places are like a hotel to us and we live here till the order for rebirt

Filthy games: by Destiny!

I was dragged down to the court and when I say drag, I mean legit drag. According to them, a soul does not get hurt physically as much as they do emotionally. This was done to leave a mark on my mind and on the other soul’s minds that to what extent the punishment can be given. My hands were tied to the chariot and the horse was pulling it with great care. Sarcasm is deafening here!As soon as we reached the castle the gates opened and there was an announcement, “The prince of the east wing of heaven has entered the gates.”.And at that very moment, I felt my whole world fall apart. Prince of the east wing! I knew he was someone from the higher authority but I couldn’t have dreamt of him being the prince. But I always heard that the prince of the east wing was the politest and most caring of all the higher authority men. And this man standing in front of me was nothing near polite or caring. But we always hear false character

The Healer!

Power makes people see you in a different light. Since, my new identity, which even I was unaware of was revealed, people saw me as a powerful soul rather than a timid criminal. Now instead of standing and bowing down in front of all, they made me sit on a chair and that too with respect.The beauty stood up and said, “I guess it is appropriate that we all introduce ourselves one by one. I’ll start with the king”. He pointed towards the king and introduced him as king Nathan, the king of east heaven.“I am the elder son of the king, prince Ethan of east wing heaven and that on the left of the throne is my younger brother.”, the beauty said and pointed at his brother to introduce himself.The jerk looked away. And once again a powerful whoosh of wind made him stand.“I am Aiden, younger prince of east wing heaven.”, he spoke with so much hatred that even the king shuddered for a second.I must say he has not

The Wrong One?

The courtroom was bustling with laughter and excitement, as we all waited patiently for the king to make the announcement. “We will soon announce that out of the two princes who has found their healer. So please everyone take your seats.”, the king announced. Everyone settled down. As soon as the courtroom went quiet the doors opened and a beautiful lady with an aura that showed dominance entered. Everyone stood up and bowed as she walked by swiftly. Even the king bowed. Why do they make us sit if we have to stand, again and again, I wondered? “She is destiny.”, Ethan told me. I was standing right next to him. I looked at the lady walking towards the throne. She was wearing a white gown with her hair open and flowing down till the end of her back. She had no crown but a weird necklace. What was different was her make-up. She had caked her face up and it gave her a very dominating aura. Her strides were confi

Stranger by the River

“After what your dad did to our family’s name is there more harm you want to do to it? Hyun do you want us out of the village and get our land taken away by the landlord?” my mom shouted once we entered the room.“But amma it was not her fault. She is being framed!”, my sister said.“Do you think it was your dad’s fault either? We all know he was framed and his only mistake was to go out to investigate. He was accused of something he didn’t do and when we fought back, he was murdered. But none of us could get his name clean off the accusation.”, she said while her eyes got filled with tears. My sister went and consoled her.“So, do you want me to lose without even a fight? No amma I am not going to do this and let down appa.”, I said and ran away from the house.At that moment I ran away from all the emotional turmoil I was forced into once again. All these memories once buried deep inside should stay there. It makes living tougher once they resurface themselves. People in our era are

The Proof

“These are the king’s orders for you.”, Kim said.With every word his smile grew bigger and bigger and so did my worries.“What does it say?”, Kang asked. She was also very worried.“Your sister has yet another punishment on her hands. She disobeyed the king and didn’t show respect for the art of poetry and as said by the king she is being punished. She will be working as the king’s mother’s caretaker and will be paid accordingly. She has been removed from her post in the royal department. And she has to stay at the palace till late.”, he said.My whole world came crashing down. That jerk took my job from me. I worked hard day and night to earn that job and then I worked hard day and night to get promoted and he just crushed my career in a few minutes with his bare hands.“And he has also ordered that if you fail to prove yourself innocent tomorrow you will have to leave his province with or without your family.”, saying this he handed me the royal order and left humming to himself.I

Prince, Kang and I

As I walked away from the palace, I saw a group of people standing there with lanterns. I walked closer to find it was Suang li, his parents and my two sisters. As soon as they saw me Kang came running and hugged me tightly.“Where were you?”, she asked in anger.“We were all so worried. It’s so late.”, Li said.“I am sorry for worrying you all, but I needed some air to clear up my mind.”, I hugged my sisters who were literally on the verge of crying.That was when I realised that I was pretty late today. It didn’t seem this late when I was with the mystery guy.“Let’s all go in and sleep now that Hyun is back.”, Li’s mom said.We all went back and greeted each other goodnight. My sisters thanked Li and his parents for coming out so late. They smiled and went into their house. The moment they left I knew I was in huge trouble because your two sisters glaring at you is not at all very comforting.“You are so dead.”, Kang said and went inside our house.Mi So just glared at me and then

Who is guilty?

The next morning even doing daily chores was not easy for any of us. No one knew if I will ever return to this house again. The neighbours were all out and were looking at me with so much love that I felt the need to stay. I was feeling less scared but more anxious now. My mom was crying since last night and we had to ask Li’s mom to look after her.Kang, Suang Li and I left for the palace. We entered the gates and the higher authorities were already there waiting for the king to arrive. I was asked to stand on the other side with two guards in my front and two behind me.Kang and Li being the witnesses were escorted into the room by two royal guards. All the eyes were keenly judging me and I was trying my best to ignore their scrutinizing stare. I was just begging my heart to stay in control for today.The king entered the courtroom area and the announcement of the king’s arrival was made. Everyone’s eyes were on the gate and for the first time, I was feeling relieved by the king’s e

The Fire!

Once I reached home everyone was celebrating. My family was celebrating my win and others were celebrating Kim’s defeat. His family was taken in by the guards for interrogation and the whole village was excited to see who will be the one to win the prize. Search for Kim was a hot topic in our village and for the surrounding villages as well. Kim had a lot of side businesses and one of them was fooling people into taking loans. He was trusted by many and that is what he used in his favour.I was sitting inside the house beside my mom and she was sleeping peacefully now. I was just waiting for the sun to start going down into the mountains and for the rays to get dimmer and dimmer. Li’s parents came and congratulated me and I gave them the gift box my mom prepared for them as a token of thanks. Winning this wouldn’t have been possible without Li. Kang also deserved something great as she helped me and always stood by me, and so did Mi So. I thought I will go and buy them gifts the next
