    "Miss, do you live here?" A voice from below interrupted my thoughts.  A middle aged man, with black hair, and a beard, wearing grey pants and a faded orange tshirt, was standing on the terrace, with one hand on the ladder that was fixed to the tank.  "Erm..no, I'm just visiting my grandmother. 203, Meera? She seems to have gone out, the flat was locked, so I came here, to watch the sunsent and stuff. I'm sorry, is this a restricted area?" I asked, from where I was standing on the tank, and contemplated how to climb down the ladder. Climbing up was easy enough, climbing down shouldn't be har...Ar7one door

    Everything Will Be Okay

    I find I am most contemplative at night. The stillness of the house, which is so rarely present in the noise of my family life, finally stops by at night. So it feels like I'm walking through a dream every time I get out of the shower in the dark, and am met with such quiet surroundings.

    I'm fainting, I realize.

    I've always been jealous of other people's fingernails. Mine never seem to look right. The skin below the nail is always dry and rough. The nail itself has white patches on them. My cuticles are constantly covering my nail no matter how much I maintain them.  In school, I used to look at my classmates' fingernails. I expected someone to have ones like mine. But they never did. Even the boys who hardly ever thought about their nails had better-looking ones. I was distraught. What was I supposed to do? I look at my nails. My middle fingernail is okay—my best one, in fact. The cuticles are mainta...Ar7one door
