“Wait.” Roderick said but wondered how he could break the walls.  “Anyone has got a hammer?” he asked the crowd, which didn’t listen to him anyway. Roderick swung his arm and hit the wall with a punch. His knuckles felt a crack. It wasn’t his bone cracking, but it was the nose of the person confined within. He made another punch. This time the wall broke down. Condemned man came …

Disappointed, Roderick went back to the crater from a different route, which was a shortcut. He was annoyed because no traveler had told him about the short way when he was walking for hours.                            He may come to the crater, eventually. He was firm in his belief. Roderick made it to the …

Roderick was not happy about walking but still kept on doing so. He had seen some carts passing through the same road he was walking on, but none of them gave him a ride. He needed money and most of all, shoes.  By the time he reached to the village, every inch of his skin on feet was bleeding. Stiff thorns had taken a …

Headless and Roderick walked from there. They kept on walking for a long time. Roderick wasn’t wearing shoes or slippers, so he was having difficulty in walking in the forest. Blisters appeared on his feet. Headless’ feet were bleeding, but he didn’t stop for a second.  “Can we take some rest?” Roderick begged. YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIME TO REST? This convinced him to walk for …

Headless freak started to make hand signs. “I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY.” Roderick read his sign language. He wondered how he could read it with this level of accuracy.   YOU LOOK LIKE A GOOD MAN, he signaled him. Roderick didn’t know whether or not he could agree with his statement.   “See, I may somehow understand your signs, but I don’t know how to signal it. …

The pit where Roderick was stuck in wasn’t a deep pit after all. Neither it was like a quicksand nor any of his body part between stones or so. Damn! This happened because I didn’t choose a right movie to watch. Why didn’t I drink more coffee? He cursed himself from the muddy surrounding and tasted mud once in a …

After hours of walk, he feels fresh breeze hit his face. He was delighted to find that there was exit after the turn. Another wizard was standing near the exit. He looked very much different than the last one. The wizard looked like a human whose every body part was different from one another. He appeared as if he was …

As the squid moved aside, he saw a glowing wizard looking at him. Some shadow like things were revolving the wizard. The figures were not larger than half a foot and floated around him like smoke and changed their shapes like Rorschach.“I – I came here to return this.” Roderick stretched his hand with the locket on his palm.“You shouldn’t …

Roderick felt the warm breath of the monster while Spencer felt its teeth sink in his arm. Blood climbed upwards as the creature drove his teeth deep to the point where he crushed his bone. Spencer would have given up on fighting the damn thing if Roderick hadn’t pulled him. Roderick was showing effort. Spencer needed to do the same.          …

“Roderick. Get back!” Spencer screamed from outside, hesitant to get inside.“Okay. I will not kill you.” There was no answer so Spencer held his gun near his head and went inside the dark cave. His eyes adjusted to the environment inside after a minute of short walk. Spencer even heard someone’s footsteps.Spencer shot. Bullet hit a rock and fragmented it.“Roderick.” …
