Ditinta

Her usual quiet night was disrupted by an amorous couple who broke into her home. She tried to tell the police their sins but no one ever listened to her.

I saw it, officer. Really, right in front of me.

The film industry in Singapore is very small. So when he scouted her for his movie, she was going to give the best scene of her life.

“You play the victim. You understand? Good, good. Now, show me your best fear. Give it your all!”

“Yes, sir.”

“Doctor, how, my son? Serious is it?”

The anxious old mother tightened her grip on her son’s hand. There was no reaction. Glassy-eyed as before, mouth agape as before, lost somewhere else but here.

The years of playing have been fun. Now, he plays his final game with her. Will he win as usual? Or will things finally start to change?

“I was thinking of retiring.” He said, pushing the pawn across the board.

His confession was simple. It had to be. She was a woman who needed no flowers or poetry. A clever and honest woman, even to him. After years of playing with her, he wanted to see what would happen if he was finally truthful to her, to himself.

Comments

Their intention was simple — let technology grow rapidly on its own. It was convenient that way. They thought wrong.

They were worried. No, they were anxious to the point of madness. How many times had they tried but failed? But in any experiment, failure was inevitable. That was how one learnt. But when millions of dollars were pumped into such a discrete defense project, failing meant a severe dent to their careers and ultimately their lives.

The priceless gemstone, the Buruj, was rumoured to be cursed — death was the inevitable fate of anyone possessing it. But Private Eye Zafirah didn’t believe in curses.

Zafirah crumpled his calling card into her pocket. She had deciphered his code too easily. Bridge, Buruj, really? That bloody thief was up to something. But seeing no one by the bridge, she limped towards a bench, leaning heavily on her forearm crutch with each step.

Comments

Even the simple things in life were a mystery to her, especially when the sun was at its brightest, showing off colours of joy that were foreign to her.

The minutes after Zuhr was always a curious moment for her. The sun was always the happiest, exploding things around her into vivid colours. Every pair of eyes would be as clear as glasses, willing to share their secrets readily in the Kopitiam she always frequent.

They say that bit of road is haunted. If you see something or someone by the road, never stop. Keep going even if it seemed real.

As it passed by, the car's headlights had shone on the lone pedestrian. A pale figure of a man, hunched over in his dirty clothes, dragging his feet as he walked. His thin body shook violently over a coughing fit. An eerie figure on a deserted road. A road notorious for its ghostly sightings.

Comments

It should be a simple affair, really. When a lost backpack is found, you give it to the police post and problem solved. But things just had to be all heavy and bloody.

Ramdan placed the backpack carefully on his dining table. It laid limp with its thin straps hanging off the edge. Tough green canvas, heavily used but still in good shape. He didn’t steal it. It was found on a park bench on his way home. Could've been a bomb, and he'd exploded there and then, not that it mattered. No one was around.

Comments

She trusted her best friend wholeheartedly. She would do anything she asked of her. Until that day when she was betrayed.

“You mustn’t smile.”

“Why?”

“I saw the last girl crying after her photo was taken. See, yeah, that one.” Her best friend pointed out.

Comments

He understood very well that true love couldn't be seen. It was colourless. So it made sense to serve his affection the same way.

She wasn’t strong. Muscles had long disappeared into the fatty arms. Yet, she had swung the heavy can of cream well. It hit his forehead with an impressive sound.

“Is this how you cook?” She yelled at him, hitting with a spatula now.

Comments

A well-trained officer never jump to conclusions. After all, healthy people eat their vegetables, not be killed by them.

When the Investigating Officer arrived at the flat, the female corpse was lying on her side. Her forehead was badly bruised, possibly an internal bleeding to death.

“What the hell is that?” He asked.

Comments

Such was the stupidity of youths. A simple bet was all it took for him to face the horror that could end his young life in an instant.

They called her a witch. She ate children, not sparing even the good ones. Those were her favourite since they were the sweetest. Any child who went into her flat was never seen coming out. When asked where was that cute little girl, the witch would just shrug while smacking her lips.

Comments

Assignments were best done in the library. But when someone kept hitting on her, of course, she was going to give him a piece of her mind.

“Hey, hey, you, look at me.”

Great, Dahlia didn’t have time for this. Her report's deadline was just an hour away. She didn’t need the distraction of a lame pick up line, especially not in the library. Ignoring was best now. She returned to her laptop.
