Twin - A Micro-tale

Twin - A Micro-tale



I've always wanted a twin brother. Mostly because it would be cool. But also just thinking about the things I would do if I had a twin, fills me with idk.. some kind of happiness I guess. Well, It would have been easier to explain if I actually had a twin brother. 
That's the plus about overthinking. Fills one's head with all desires, making them fly by stars yet silently sweeping the legs off the ground. The downside to overthinking is.... More thinking.
At times it makes me think, why do I want a twin brother? What makes me think I need one? If my twin had been here typing this and not me, would he be thinking he needed me as a twin? Does everyone think the same? What about people who are born twins? It just goes on... 
There's certainly one advantage to not having a twin. Less of a b(r)other.
Maybe I should stop this story here before I could think more about this. If you think "twin" isn't a suitable title, maybe it isn't. It might have been "overthinking - a micro-tale" that would be much more appropriate. But I'm stopping this micro-tale here and it's still going to be titled twin when you are reading this. The point of this story? Never mind.

"Are you crying?" She read his message on WhatsApp. She wanted to reply "Yes." She even typed yes with a sad emoji. But she couldn't hit send. The album she was currently listening to was over and the unpleasant music of steel plates flying below her, inside her house grew louder. Loud yells and unpleasant words were also flying around along with the utensils. Some into the kitchen and some away from it. But she was far away from all that. Sitting on the terrace, she felt closer to the stars than her home. He was maybe 30 - 40 Km. Away from her, yet he was farther than the stars were to her. And downstairs was the farthest. She backspaced the yes she had typed. She replaced the emoji with a blank face emoji. She didn't want to say no , he would know her lies. He knows her well enough to know her lies. Or maybe it's just become a habit that anyone would know. But  HE  knows. That meant something to her. She sent the emoji and played a different pla...

Echoes & Epilogues

"Since when do you call yourself a writer?" I asked. "Since when do you call yourself a musician?" She replied. "I'm a music enthusiast, not a musician," I replied with a smirk. Her lips curled at one end. It was her signature smile back from days when we were more familiar with each other. She sucked the straw emptying her glass of butter fruit juice in a gulp and still sucked making funny noises. Some things seldom change, I thought. "Some things don't change at all, do they?" She asked as if reading my mind. My surprise must've been visible like the glimmer of sunlight caught in a sliver of a mirror. "What?" she asked, a soft chuckle accompanying her words. She beamed like a fortuneteller after successfully predicting a jackpot in the lottery. "Nothing. I was just thinking the same thing. Somethings don't change at all." I replied somberly.   But thinking of it, she had actually changed a lot. No...

The Spotless Moon

The Spotless Moon Looking at her face beside the bus window for a few moments while her bus overtakes mine in ever the same evening traffic exaggerating into eternity as I sat by the window seat in the last row of my bus, became an uncanny habit for someone like me, who sleeps like a child as soon as I took my place in the bus. Yet, for the past few weeks, my heart yearned like a child, just to get a glimpse at her selenic beauty of a face in the golden hour of dusk. Despite all the exhaustion and tire that paints people dull by the sunset, hers is the only face that reflects calmness contrasting all the chaos of the evening traffic. My morning bus rides didn't expect to get to see her. I didn't miss her in the evenings I couldn't see her. My legs knew her classroom, yet they resent going anywhere near it and any occasional pass-by at the college, My eyes never intended to stop by and take a look. When there were opportunities to walk up to her and talk, my mouth shut itsel...
