A story foretold has come unwrit, Many a woven tale has come undone, Shattered bangles scar wrists in star shaped crimson bloom, Reminiscent of the night, when two hearts become one… Unravelled seams leave heartache abound, Sob rise, and choke – there is no sound.

by Amna Saleem 6:30pm. The clock in the tower chimed. I felt the coldness of the night as the sun descended. I said good-bye to him at the gate, outside my house. He was in a rush; he’d suddenly remembered he had a train to catch- missing it, he feared, would be an unbearable pain [...]
