terrific terrifying piece: reminds me of the scene from Tim Winton’s ‘Cloudstreet; where Fish almost drowns: ‘They pulled Fish up, but not all of Fish returned’ —
Oh wow! That’s the exact sentiment I wished to portray. Coming back but not as a whole – something missing every time. Spooky! 🙂
very spooky; it’s the same that happens sometimes , I guess, when people come out of long, induced comas —
Ah, congrats on the pub, Terveen! 😊
Thank you so much, Jeff. 🙂
You’re most welcome, Terveen. 😊
“Death is stronger than words” – nice write.
An interesting premise wrapped in a hard truth. Even when life persists and overcomes death, death plays the long game and will eventually emerge victorious, despite the number of failed attempts.
Well done, Terveen.
Thank you, Rhyan. Though life and death are two opposite ends of the same spectrum, the balance always wishes to sway towards the light – life. Death is always identified as darkness, possibly because of the unknown that lies beyond it. 🙂
Wow, what a story. Dead three times. Wish she has more lives (9 lives for example) to spare.
Oh my! That’s a terrifying thought. Looks like she’ll end up anything but human.
Thank you so much! 🙂
oooh! 😱
Haunting memories, especially when as early as four, Terveen.
I’ve read and heard stories like these, Shobana. Makes one wonder what actually lies beyond.
Thanks for your sharing. 🙂
You are welcome, Terveen.
