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.

Well done, Terveen.

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.
