    The Echoes of Misty Pines

    September 1, 2025 - By 

    Rishabh Malhotra The train wound its way up from Siliguri like a slow-breathing animal, dragging itself through tunnels and ridges until the landscape turned from dust and plains into green shadows and mist. Aanya pressed her forehead against the glass of the narrow window and felt the chill bite through. The air smelled different here—pine, wet earth, smoke rising from unseen chimneys. She had always imagined Darjeeling to be painted in postcards: toy train whistles, Kanchenjunga glowing in the distance, laughter of tourists around Mall Road. But this time, she wasn’t here for postcards or tourist guides. She was here…

    Evelyn Hart Part 1 – The Road Into the Woods The forest road narrowed like a throat as they drove deeper into it, the canopy closing overhead until sunlight became a dim green wash, a trickle of light spilling between branches that seemed too eager to entwine. The rental car rattled over roots breaking through the old asphalt, and every so often the trees opened to reveal brief glimpses of moss-slick boulders or dry creekbeds that wound like scars across the earth.

Elliot Crane stepped out of the taxi, dragging a battered suitcase behind him, the soles of his boots already slick with Kolkata’s monsoon grime. The signboard above the house was missing letters—what remained read: “B R ING H USE.” A broken bulb swung from the lintel like a dying eye. He paused for a moment, collar turned up, and knocked twice. Behind the faded blue door, something shifted. A slit opened. Grey eyes squinted. “Room?” Elliot…

    The Black Thread

    June 14, 2025 - By 

    Aaryan Sen Amaan Khan believed in facts. As a forensic journalist, he had covered everything from organ trafficking in Jaipur to political assassinations in Bihar. His articles were precise, unflinching, and deeply respected—because Amaan believed there was always a logical explanation behind every mystery. That belief began to crack the day he arrived in Bhimtara, a forgotten village cradled in the Satpura foothills. It started with a death—officially recorded as cardiac arrest. The deceased: District Magistrate Nalin Jadhav, age 41, no prior medical conditions, found slumped over his desk in the government guest house. But it wasn’t the death that…

    The Silent Temple

    A. K. Murugan  The Forgotten Path Tamil Nadu in June was a furnace of forgotten ruins and rustling palms, but for Meera and Tara, it was another tick on their growing list of offbeat travel destinations. They had been crisscrossing India for over a year now, documenting haunted forts, strange folk rituals, and abandoned villages on their blog, Whispers Unheard. What started as a quarantine boredom project had become a modestly successful travel page with a dedicated audience eager for the eerie and unexplained. But nothing they had seen so far compared to what Tara found one night on a…
