The Township

My initial designs for the game have been completed. I've decided to host a game night soon with my friends to engage in the world I created. We'll get to play a new game together, and I'll get my first user feedback. Yay! The idea sounds fantastic!

The anticipation was palpable as the group gathered at my place. The air crackled with excitement, a mix of nervous energy and eager anticipation. We were about to embark on a journey into a digital realm, a world crafted from ones and zeros, yet filled with endless possibilities.

As the last guest settled into the couch, I pressed the power button on the console. The familiar hum filled the room, a comforting prelude to the adventure that awaited. We donned our headsets, the world outside fading into a blur as we were transported to a bustling virtual metropolis.


The game's soundtrack, a symphony of electronic beats and melodic undertones, immediately captivated our senses. The screen displayed a vibrant menu, inviting us to enter our names and choose our avatars. Somebody yelled, "Let's roll!" as everyone eagerly selected their characters.

With a collective cheer, we plunged into the first level, a quaint township teeming with life. The air was thick with the scent of freshly baked bread and the chatter of merchants. We were free to explore, customize our appearance, and choose our careers. The possibilities were endless, a virtual playground waiting to be explored.



"More chips!" was the first feedback from the gang. "This is going to take a long time." Hmm... Positively, everyone's engaged! 😊

Hours flew by as we lost ourselves in the game's immersive world. Little did we know that this night would be just the beginning of an epic adventure, one that would forge lifelong friendships and shape our understanding of the digital realm.

The Room

Another tiring day at work, could hardly comprehend things happening around me. Today, coming back home has never felt more comforting than ever. 

After a nice shower and my mom's lovely home-cooked meal, I decided to spend some time in my game room. The room is now equipped with the craziest addition of all time!!! Just got my hands on the VR; the thing just levelled up my game.  Currently, I've been working on this game that takes you to the realms of an ancient township, which is a hideout for numerous mysterious powers.

A Week Old






Misty mornings and a walk outside with my favourite toy, heading towards the most beautiful valley in the north. Spending hours in the wilderness, the cold breeze brushing, birds chirping...aaahh... In my words, I would say everything is nice. These are the memories that I cherish and always pine for.

I grew up in a village far away from the towns and cities, in the hilly regions of the north, quite peaceful from the hubbubs. About my family, I only had my grandpa. It's not that I lost my parents, they left for work in the city side and I preferred staying with my grandpa rather than in the city. Pretty much didn't have a formal education. As a matter of fact, my grandpa is a retired professor, so he was the one who taught me things. At a very small age, I engaged myself in reading, observing and learning things on my own. 

 (Further, I did my formal studies in forensic science, criminology, criminal justice and joined a private investigation sector to practice. ) 

Many year's later.....


"Some actions are intrusive to the naked eye"


Mom and Dad were retiring, we arranged a surprise party for them inviting all our family and friends to the big hall of the norths. Such a proud and happy moment, I decided to launch my first criminal diary with all the investigations I was part of. Met some amazing people at the function and a few mysterious one's too, seems like grandpa had close ties with many during his youthful years, later we all headed back home. 

The next day, I was introduced to a rather peculiar file?! The first listing went like this

ɔǝ 86Ɩ  -  MN-Z-09Ɩ - ǝɔuǝpısǝ ʇsǝM ɥʇɹoN - sǝuoʇs ǝuıW ɹɐǝN

WS-6196-D6 - tseW htuoS - letoH ynoclab edis reviR

(Headed towards these locations to find out more about the place, the people who stayed there.)

Just like the file, the place was peculiar too, it's a place where people gather and discuss their daily life, this wasn't any usual gathering. This place was solely designed to bring out the frustrations in people as well as kill the pressure within. They served gin and wine instead of tea and coffee unlike the usuals; the party was hosted in the name 'INVERTED HEADS'. The outcome of the party is to have a whole different dimension of life, where you can suppress your sorrows and let out the frustrations into a form of drug that injects the filled air and not the people gathered. There is no age barrier as such, almost everyone is welcome into this dungeon.

Years later, this practice is still continued there, the infrastructure has changed too, now they sit in relaxed ac rooms besides the open-air meetings. People are so happy they can be what they truly are and no one's going to judge them. 

Found some albums that explained the concept too, wait a minute...grandpa used to come here too. (turn, turn ...pages to see grandpa in his youth, haha)

But the merry group didn't end so well in the month of December, in the year 1987; there lies the mystery. A group of psychopaths address the gathering late that month; it was a routine for a week. Like, every night they come to speak only to manipulate the crowd to be more carefree.

Surprisingly the reports say, the event was tragic and dreadful. The small gathering was attacked by the gang, very secretly, every night injuring some selective people who gathered there. This continued until the owner found a dead body inside their private boat!!! Investigations grew to an extent that almost every day they had to put a stop to the gathering. The mob attack was very selective, also the people involved were always different, they targeted men and women with more miseries. Since these men and women were more gullible and get hyped up to their talks, they persuaded them to injure each other (for them it's pleasure, but unknowingly they were killing each other). Investigations at this point proved to be useless, so they simply, IGNORED.

Oh my, I was shocked to see the crime report rate of that year, which involved no justification as to why these many people were injured or killed, and nobody knows who injured and killed whom. This was curated indeed by a master of manipulative plot. (heavy breathing...perplexed...the violence went unnoticed!!! but how?)


The unsolved mystery of the dungeon grew attention to the nearby residence too, just as spooky as the hotel grounds, the residence had its own mystery. The unoccupied house seemed quite normal to me, but after exploration opened new doors for further investigation. One of its doors had a picture of a lady screaming, which said, "Please don't open".

The other side screamed these letters...



                    pǝʇɹǝʌuı spɐǝɥ ǝǝs oʇ uǝdo

(sealed for further criminal investigations, registered - 2021, #unsolved)


Wait, is it the manipulation? or was something serious going on here, and were the hotel grounds just a distraction?!!!

Behind






May 19, is one day of the year I do not want to remember. The day I lost my biggest support system and somebody who could bring some amount of change in my life. I didn't know the death of an influencer could create much impact on your life. Though we didn't have a blood relation to talk about, we definitely had many things in common. 

After this incident, I spend most of my years, like in prison. Didn't have much of an idea where to start off or how to go about it. My life proved to be a perfect example of a woman with lower self esteem. Lost touch with the fewer friends I had. To sum it all, I had my life all by myself. But, don't we all have that inbuilt trait to move on because you just don't want to end yourself that quickly or maybe that's what you were at least not taught at home. Well, I don't know; I decided to find my space to fit into this planet. Haven't we heard about the fittest's survival; I was involved in the rat race too.


While this was on, I managed to give a try on securing my mental health seems like that was the only way I could survive in this paradox. My professional help suggested that I meet someone so I don't overthink and find myself engaging to start a new chapter of my life. Without further due with the assistance of online dating apps I was on the lookout to find the man of my dreams, okay...yeah, when I had them back in time. Least interested or bothered I met random people each week and see to myself it really doesn't work the way I thought it would. Failing to which I tried to focus on my hobbies and career which proved to be helpful. I found myself travelling again and freelancing for an online website for travel blogs and articles.  Meanwhile, I met this man as part of my survey for my latest work. He seemed to show interest in the work I do and also help me out to gather more details for my work. I don't easily trust people it has been my character since time. Somehow, this acquaintance was exceptional. We grew to know each other very well. Now, I could say my life wasn't that boring after all, worth the try.

Travelling cheered me up made me feel less doubtful but the skies weren't that clear even then, there was some shadow, a faint dark side to the ray of light. my new friend was more than happy to help. So, I decided to talk it out, my past. Intentionally, kept aside the 'day'.

Later point in my life, my new acquaintance played zero roles in my life meaning he left me for some unfortunate reasons which I myself couldn't figure out maybe it's that part of me who hides things that led him to never return back.

Years went by I get a courier one day from him, dated May 19 and inside had a note which said,
"Belongs to you"

It was a book that left behind the old trauma, the book titled
'How I killed my greatest friend'

Twinster


What's more blissful than a beautiful sunrise, right? That's why we set out on a journey to the countryside this time. Hey!!! we are the 'Twinsters', two twins who aim to bring in some life in you with music. Here we are with one of our favourite travel stories.

 We head out to this place from the hubbub of the city, all packed, a day quite in the meadows, breathing some fresh air, singing some good music, isn't it just wonderful?! Always dreamt for an escape to the wilderness and here we are enjoying ourselves with pure serenity. Tuned our guitars and started to play and sing our hearts out, couldn't explain how much this means to us.

 



To keep the spirits high we walked towards this beautiful yard full of cute small flowers, and the sunshine falling over it, the scene was just lovely. Felt a kind of strength which kept us bonded to nature. On the way, we met a few small little friends who hoped around the place just wondering what's with us. Our day couldn't get any better with some food along with these new friends of ours. Also, played some songs and sang along with them. Both of us couldn't stop smiling at each other, we were too happy. Walked a little more and there we spotted this glazing, glittery lake, our instincts just wanted us inside the water, didn't wait for the thought to just sink in before which we jumped into it.




After a good swim, we sat along the banks enjoying the evening breeze and definitely with some good music. Gathered some firewood for a hot coffee and some cookie and to end the day we experienced a mesmerizing sunset to some soulful country songs. We never wanted to leave that place, wanted to live the moment every second, every hour of time. But sometimes you just got to let it go and leave, so that we can experience something even mesmerizing. Until next time it was, we waved goodbye to our friends and led the beautiful day to an end.

Back to Reality





I opened my eyes, the room slowly vanished, with the man standing on top of a hill. I was there too, but on the other side of the hill, watching all of this happen. "You have chosen to stay with your old life, despite how attractive we made the sanctuary look". "Your passionate desire to be with your old self has overpowered our influence over you". Finally, he added, "I'm glad you're happy". Yes, by then I had already started to miss everyone. Moreover, I longed to go back home, to my room, from where it all began.

There was one thing I wish to explore, a ride around with the balloons again. Never felt any good than up there, I enjoyed the most flying around. Looked at the man eagerly waiting to bid a goodbye to me. I wished to ask him about my last wish, but before which he turned himself into a key and flew into my hand in the form of a locket on a chain, I wore it around my neck. Seems like the adventure has come to an end and it's time to go back home. But, how? I don't see any doors to be opened or any sort of things which the key can be used to, nor did the man say anything about it. There was a strong wind blowing, I felt colder than ever before, not knowing what to do, I tried staying warm. Alongside, there were some trees whose branches were entangled and something was trying to come out of it. I got the tangles sorted, and there... a big bunch of balloons rose. Didn't wait for a second, caught it right at its end, and flew around with endless joy.






Felt like a genie except that I had balloons instead of a carpet, looking down I saw glimpses of the sanctuary and the tree. Couldn't end this any better, this moment will be cherished forever. Forgot the fact that I was high up flying at a place so unknown, lived the very moment I was in. Soon, I got closer to the path, and the staircase from where I first flew from, stepped on it and walked towards the door. Opened the door with the key and to my surprise, I saw myself gazing up the night sky from my window. Confused and amused?! I tried reaching out to me




the very scene blacked-out......something shook me...
wake up..wake up...
I was on my bed looking for answers...
I sighed, "oh, all this while I was dreaming".😌
