act 1_week 1: lapse of surrounding


While leaving for college, I expected the regular auto rickshaw, but was surprised to see the driver standing beside an alien object, never seen before. I was instructed to sit inside and switch on the music. Anxiety started to build as it started to move. The view outside was reflecting the mood of the music played making the music come alive in the journey. As the music came to an end the journey halted leaving me to my destination. The duration was as usual but the experience was phenomenal.

act 1_week 2: The Shadow Monster

I awoke with a start.
"What was that noise I wonder?"
To the corner of the room my eyes did dart,
And I felt my body shudder.

No words can be a fitting description
Of what lay before my eyes.
On hindsight, maybe it was a manifestation
Of the darkness that in my mind lies.

But in that moment nothing else mattered,
Just total paralyzing horror did i mark;
And in the cold terror, my teeth chattered
As I was overcome with fear of the dark.


This sketch shows the fear in the my eye, as I behold the shadow monster before me. The reflection of his hand reaching out for me is seen in my iris.

act 1_week 1: fear of the dark


Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?

Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that somethings watching you

Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that somethings always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
