"Stop it you stupid bot!! It's a Saturday!!!" Then, the old pest said something I feared. "You have to work out even on weekends, Armaan!!" "Oh, please have mercy on me! And, by the way, aren't you supposed to call me Sir !?" "Initializing!!" "What do you mean initializing ?? I've told you a thousand times, now!!" "No Armaan, you have stated this only 4,653,291 times to be exact!!" "Again ' Armaan ' !!" Then, I got out of bed, drowsily, yet angrily. I looked at my clock. It was still around 4:45. "Come on, Jet! You woke me three hours earlier!!" "Sir, today is a Saturday! You have a lot of time!!!" "Well, yeah. I have all the time in the world today and tomorrow....

It was 2 hrs for my family and me to leave for Goa, for my Uncle's wedding anniversary. Mom said that we should go to the station early, so it would kill any chances of missing the train. I tried to talk some sense into her, but it was almost obvious whose opinion would be taken into consideration. Anyways, we reached the station. Mom and I thought that the station would nearly be empty, but we didn't realize that other trains were arriving at that hour. There were hordes of people running here and there to enter their trains. Dad said we could wait in the waiting room. We all agreed with his idea. Mom sat down and was absorbed by her magazine. Dad went into a corner and called up who I think was a colleague. was Then I finally sat down, only to get a glimpse of everyone. The room was quite small but had enough seating for our lot. There were about two families and two couples, excluding Mom, Dad and me. Out of the old couple, the old man who looked like he was in his ...

Meena was an ordinary girl, with some extraordinary devotion towards science, mainly robotics. In the middle of an aimless day, Meena saw something that made her jump with excitement. There was a notice which said: "SCIENCE EXHIBITION". She could not believe her eyes! She continued to read the notice, and the word 'robotics' caught her eye. The exhibition was scheduled for a month later. Meena worked really hard. Her parents helped her a bit, but they didn't even know what she was making. She worked every night, almost every minute. One night, her parents decided to find out what she was making. They pretended to sleep, as that was when Meena started working. So they tiptoed along the corridor, not making a sound. They peeped into her room. But alas! She had just made a metal leg. And how angry her father was! He scolded her for wasting his time and money just on making a piece of metal. Meena just stared at him, her eyes swelling with tears. She pushed them ou...

[Theme Free-style, Tween Ranged] "Dad! Dad!”, called Abby, “ Can Peter and me go to play in the woods?”  “Yes, but make sure you come back by noon.”, said Dad.  Peter was sixteen while Abby was fourteen. Peter lost his parents in a plane crash. He saw the plane crash in front of his eyes; he had become an orphan.  Fortunately, he met Abby. She took him to her own parents and her parents accepted to take good care of him. “Did dad give us permission to go to the woods?” asked Peter curiously.  “ Yep”, chattered Abby.    In no time, they were in the woods. There was a gate, which led to the woods, and Abby had the keys to unlock it. Abby unlocked the gate and off they went into the woods. “Whoa! That was so close!”, said Peter, after Abby found him hiding in a bunch of long grass. They were playing hide and seek, and Abby was taking the den. After playing a few games, they soon got bored. It was time for lunch. They decided to go home....

In the year 1981, in an unexplored town, where nobody lived, an eerie incident took place.  On a new moon night, a king named John and his entourage, came to explore the town. He decided to stay there for the night and thought of building a castle over there.  At night, the villagers who had come along with the king heard strange sounds. However, they did not pay any attention and slept. In the morning, about 100 villagers were found dead. Who killed them, was the question. King John and his soldiers went to explore more.  Suddenly, they heard a loud cry for help. Help me! My king! Please help me! Something interrupted the voice. Then, they saw in that direction and could guess the cause of it all. It was a blackish - purple creature with a black fur coat. It had sharp white canines and believe me, they were extremely sharp. The sight of it was very scary. It disappeared in a second! It looked like a VAMPIRE.  The following night, again another 40 odd villag...
