POETRY
Meadow
Ankita Bera
Chirping birds, 
Water splashing, 
Buzzing bees, 
Whooshing breeze, 
Cows mooing. 
 
Life in the meadow, 
A snoozing farmer, 
Nothing more, 
Just a good old meadow. 
Woman: The Face Of The World
Aparna Govil
I may be water, nourishing and clear,  
But remember, I quench your thirst, and if I get agitated, I can drown you whole.

And gently pressed the keys, 
The sweet melody of the song took over my ears, 
And filled the room covering every corner.  ...

The sky was blue with the sun beaming right across it.

TW: Mentions of death, drugging
Chavvi Gahlaut
Allison and her family were going to go camping for the first time! Allison couldn’t wait. The night before their six-hour car ride, she packed a black rucksack and put out her morning clothes on the couch in her bedroom. She slept well that night and woke up at four in the morning the next day. She wore a black Nike t-shirt with baggy army green sweatpants and classic red sneakers. She went out and...
