*
Camouflage
The echoing sound of ‘left-right-left’ is now over...
I'm sighing deeply, gazing at the empty parade-ground..
How paradoxical it's been:
feeling lonely, among routine bugles and a mass of worn-out berets and boots...
My first task will be fighting against anonymity..

Then I didn't know I would never identify the camouflaged soul of mine..

ISIS
(Collaborative story, with @shamsmakkiya, @minzy34 & @Mari_deSilva)
Isis sat frozen. Adrenaline stormed circling her entire body. The very next second, the full height glass window went crashing as she threw the table in great rage. The building startled. The colleagues rushed upwards. At the sight of Isis's ferocious look, the boss retreated. Hundreds of questions met Isis's ears. She started responding atypically
“STOP!!!” Isis was screaming inside her head; but her body was not her own. Amidst the shattering glass, numerous cuts that leaked blood like an ice cream on a sunny noon, she saw the retreating Boss. In a flash, her mind recollected the look in his eyes the previous night. It all made sense now.
He was a coward. He didn’t want anyone to know his dirty little secret. But I wasn’t going to just roll over and play dead. I was going to stay and teach him a lesson he wouldn’t easily forget. Isis never backs down from a fight. Especially when she has got nothing more to lose.
She signaled her fellow-mommoids.
His body seemed tiny from the 55th floor.

MMXIII AD
Alice woke up from her deep slumber.
"Where am I..?" she wondered. "Or is this also a fragment of the same dream?"
She wandered through the hallway.
All she could find were nothing but some weird machines and wired humans.
"Gosh.. This is the strangest!"
She saw a wall calendar read: 'June, 2013'
*
Surveillance
The revelation created a stir across the world: “The Government intercepts every inter-personal communication, on national security concerns..”

Love, Today!
The ballroom was ablaze with the radiant disco lights.
The ecstatic Tango music bursted in the fullest spirit.

Their desires popped up swiftly just like the bubbles of the beverages served.
The neon board at the entrance read:
'VALENTINE'S SAGA - 2013'

Vishwaroop, The Untold Version
'Shehzad weds Tehreem'

'What the hell..,' slapped her.
She burst into tears.
Happiness gone miles away.

Ode to her, C/o. Platform
The sidewalk
from the Old British bridge
to St.Anthony's..
Being a passer-by
I've never seen her alone,
but with some stray puppies..
I could throw nothing at her,
even a 2/= coin,
inscribed in all three National Languages:
'Year 2000- Shelter for All!'
Now feeling guilty..
I've just exploited the poem hidden in her..

Eureka!
"Eureka!"
Mission Au-197, a top secret project of CERN succeeded at last.

A drop fell on the device.
'BAAAAANNNNNGGGGGG!'

The Secretary said, "Finding 1-1-1 DNA won't be a big deal. We've got every citizen's genography in our archives, from 2125.."
[*Roughly translated, 'being the first child for three generations']
*
INFER.. NO!!!
The planet was in the grip of heatwaves, that had claimed tens of millions of victims.
The orange dots seen on the satellite pictures denoted the areas which were badly affected by the waves.
Various weapons used in the WW-III by the irresponsible governments had made a planetary ring around that once fertile Planet: Earth!
*
Agni!
He beheld a sparklet.
Kept it in a tree hollow.
Ultimately,
the entire woods
burnt to ashes.
Yes!
Whilst a revolt breaks out,
No matter who's behind it..
Be it the old or the young,
The age cannot be
distinguished
And moreover,
It's rage cannot be

The Man 11th Hour!
Loft in a flat

Oft have pizza
Coke and flake.
Leave home daily:

Feels déjà vu

All day long

Unknown faces and
well-known backs.
I'm getting older
day by day;
The fortune's here
but an inch away!

A Fairytale..
The moment she touched the spindle, she fell into a deep slumber..
'ZZZ.. ZZZ..'

Hundred years passed.
A prince came from a faraway kingdom.
Climbed up to the balcony; saw the sleeping beauty; kissed..
Alas... Anesthesia made the poor prince faint..
Er.. How come one could survive kissing someone who hadn't brushed
teeth for ages?!

BE!
Once upon a time..
Wait a sec..

Well.. There was nothing called

Solo
It was too early today when I finished jogging.
The monsoon sky was awfully gloomy.
I saw a silhouetted figure on the terrazzo tiles of the deserted sidewalk.
A melodious interlude of an oldie caressed my ears.
As the first rays of sunlight reached the earth, I could see his black goggles and white cane.

"This is one of the primitive planets of the Sol galaxy," explained Gen.Upalist.

"Genia.. I'll be a little late today.. Spellcheck the blueprint till I come.."
"Okay Sir," hung up,

Genia alias Dananjina, the curious young assistant of Prof. Wickramapala was excited..

She looked into his eyes, held his hand caressing his palm with her fingers and smiled blissfully.

As a blurred hologram began to be visible over the altar, they heard His Holiness thinking:
'DID I CLEAR BROWSING HISTORY?'

The Forest
It was really a tiresome session.
We had been ordered to collect specimens of each and every plant..
The Government's plan was to promote eco-tourism.
In a way, we were very proud of preserving our forest despite the massive nuke attacks of WW-III.
The only oddness I found was: maintaining the forest in bonsai format!

'ZZZ... ZZZ...'
The excessive saline doses and the stench of phenyl keep me drowsy all day long.
No, I'm not crying.. I camouflauged sentiments long ago..
The echo of 'Left- right-left' still reverberates in my ears..
By the way, can anyone tell me what's that 'prosthetics' thingy that the doctors keep on whispering about?

The Desert
'Sand.. sand.. and more sand..,' she cheered.
They were flying through the pathway that lies over the kingdom of heaven..
And it's spring, the mating season!
*Yeeeng.. Yeeeng.. Yeeeng..*
'Sirens on..?'
*WHOOOOOOSH!!!*
'Hell.. Mortars!' he yelled.
*RRUTTUTUTT!!*
The dove fell near a sidewalk where a group of kids stood, holding catapults facing an IDF artillery..
*
Purity
"O Sita, thou shalt come onto the altar; embrace fire; thus prove thy purity!"
She shed no tears; obeyed.
Fire didn't burn her.
A big round of applause bursted:
'What a performance!'

"Uwwaaeek,"
She couldn't get hold of this anymore.
Stared at the washroom mirror and sobbed.
The previous night, it was the Chief Guest..
*
Pride
"This copper-plate dated back to 320 AD; unearthed during an
excavation in '60s", the officer described the nation's pride quite
diplomatically.
"And this sculpture belongs to 4th century BC."
The tourists seemed amused.
As they moved on the hallway he added,
"In the 3rd floor we have the oldest.... --"
*BAAAAANGGG!!!*
"Oldest what? Staircase?" someone groaned.

The Diplomat
Mankind's first diplomatic visit to Delta. I felt goosebumps..
"Reporting from Delta.. Over!"
---
It's an honour to dine with Emperor Devgn IV. I'd read once:
'Deltans [déltünz], inhabitants of planet Delta, known for Neutrium fuel resources and 'Kandor' festival held every summer..'

'It's party time baby,' checked the menu:
'Kbat,
Tyal,
Kasipz,
Dessert: Diplomat..'
"Oh!"

She!
‘Love you,' she whispered charmingly as they were dancing under the full moon to the symphony of the crickets..
Drac held the torso solemnly..
'Ding dong.. Ding dong..,'
the Cathedral bells began to ring..
'The hour has come,' thought he.
Drac couldn't control his impulse, his gasp for blood.
Now he hugged her tightly; sniffed her neck passionately and bit.
'Ouch,' he yelled as the fang broken, 'You humanoid?'
I have no hesitation in recommending him as the best buddy robot.

By the way, can anyone tell me what's that 'prosthetics' thingy that the doctors keep on whispering about?
(Inspired by Wilfred Owens' "Disabled")

The Desert
'Sand.. sand.. and more sand..,' she cheered.
They were flying through the pathway that lies over the kingdom of heaven..
And it's spring, the mating season!
*Yeeeng.. Yeeeng.. Yeeeng..*
'Sirens on..?'
*WHOOOOOOSH!!!*
'Hell.. Mortars!' he yelled.
*RRUTTUTUTT!!*
The dove fell near a sidewalk where a group of kids stood, holding catapults facing an IDF artillery..

Purity
"O Sita, thou shalt come onto the altar; embrace fire; thus prove thy purity!"
She shed no tears; obeyed.
Fire didn't burn her.
A big round of applause bursted:
'What a performance!'
----
"Uwwaaeek,"
She couldn't get hold of this anymore.
Stared at the washroom mirror and sobbed.
The previous night, it was the Chief Guest..
Pride
"This copper-plate dated back to 320 AD; unearthed during an
excavation in '60s", the officer described the nation's pride quite
diplomatically.
"And this sculpture belongs to 4th century BC."
The tourists seemed amused.
As they moved on the hallway he added,
"In the 3rd floor we have the oldest.... --"
*BAAAAANGGG!!!*
"Oldest what? Staircase?" someone groaned.

The Diplomat
Mankind's first diplomatic visit to Delta. I felt goosebumps..
"Reporting from Delta.. Over!"
---
It's an honour to dine with Emperor Devgn IV. I'd read once:
'Deltans [déltünz], inhabitants of planet Delta, known for Neutrium fuel resources and 'Kandor' festival held every summer..'
---
'It's party time baby,' checked the menu:
'Kbat,
Tyal,
Kasipz,
Dessert: Diplomat..'
"Oh!"
*
She!
‘Love you,' she whispered charmingly as they were dancing under the full moon to the symphony of the crickets..
Drac held the torso solemnly..
'Ding dong.. Ding dong..,'
the Cathedral bells began to ring..
'The hour has come,' thought he.
Drac couldn't control his impulse, his gasp for blood.
Now he hugged her tightly; sniffed her neck passionately and bit.
'Ouch,' he yelled as the fang broken, 'You humanoid?'

6 is odd!
A girl was killed. '6 is odd!' -her last tweet.
'WTF?' cops were confused of that secret code.
Her lover sobbed slapping on his face.
He got an extra finger!
*
Ghost-writer!
Having fed up with the devilish deeds of his drunken genie, Sir Aaron Wheelborough thought of a plan to get rid of him.
He commanded the genie to type a text and dictated.
It was a palindrome.
The drunken genie typed his name reversed..
*puff of smoke*
The genie disappeared.
(Anyway, later on, the genie haunted in MS Word and started underlining words unknown to him!)
*
OMG!
Tomorrow I bought a Time Machine.
Now going to 1857.

'OMG!
How can I get back?!
