While being rapped, all a girl need to protest is turning their head from left to right and from right to left repeatedly.

Good story!

For sometime i was transported into a Dalhousie square set in Sector V – was wondering what colour the writer’s would b , green ?

- the layered, puzzle and sci-fi approach was good.
- futuristic visualizations were great.
- liked the ending , (however would like the stress on humanity factor to be even more ).

Bravo Pinaki..so far I read the story twice…ekdam perfect.

By the way can I have the Bengali version of the story…Since I run two Bengali magazine (as Editor) in Hyderabad, it will be nice if Pinaki can permit me to publish the Bengali version of the story.

How to write a horror climax.
by Nick Blake

Great question, Claudia. Writing a horror climax is similar to any other story climax – follow your characters, get inside their heads and find the unusual actions that make them unique. And, in the case of horror, make the audience cringe.

Like any other conflict-driven plot, horror relies on a fundamental crisis: the main character (let’s call her Carrie) has a crisis (she’s constantly picked on for being different and faces the ultimate humiliation: she’s not invited to the prom) and chooses an unusual — and psychologically cathartic — path to resolve her crisis (she kills everyone at the prom).

Carrie “works” because it calls out the fallacy of the prom mythology: it’s hyped as a time of fun and happiness, when in reality it’s a maelstrom of emotional tension.

So look for society’s false idols and get ready to knock ‘em down. That’s where you’ll find your climax.

Just my two cents. But I hated my prom, too.
