It's not just interesting to know that something that you love to eat, too has a family, friends, emotions and a life. It too is a living thing just like you. Before you say a Lion is a monster because it can eat a person...., why cant a Chicken call you a monster when you eat its family almost a billion times... or more?.

Well... my fellow human monster I introduce to you 'The Next Place ', a story about a little chicken born in a farm of our old human monster friend "Mack" who's just had a great day and is about to have a little dinner... or should I say a full body of a chicken as dinner, with his lovely son Donny, his two daughters Emily and Lilly, and let's not forget his wife who's also know as the mother in the story... ladies and gentlemen a big round of applause for Miss Susan.

Before you begin reading this story I just want to let you know that you have a patient and kind brain to keep reading this far. This is a made up story I had come up with a few years ago but did not publish it, just kept it in my pocket in my room. I thought maybe now it's a good time to take out the gold from your pocket. Enjoy reading and I hope you find it interesting... of course you will... atleast I'm confident that you will. My name is "Abdias Batiki" and I represent to you: "The next place".

In the grand halls of the Virellia estate, a ducal household where status is everything and secrets run deep, Mallory begins her quiet life as a laundry maid. But her days of folding linens and scrubbing gowns take a sharp turn when tragedy strikes: Prince Azrail, the enigmatic firstborn of the ducal family, is found dead under suspicious circumstances.

While many whisper of treachery, Mallory isn't convinced. Driven by curiosity and a sharp mind unnoticed by those above her, she begins to unravel the truth behind the first prince's death-only to discover that this isn't the first strange coincidence surrounding him.

Fiercely determined and guided by a hunger for justice, Mallory dares to look where others avert their gaze-no matter what she finds.

Please do not comment with "I can draw your characters" I appreciate it, but I am an artist and can draw my own character art. Thank you.

When Sunghoon Jin, a famous K-Pop musician, loses the person he loves most, he falls into a spiraling state of despair. Desperate to flee from his grief, he attempts to take his life and instead finds himself in the body of his past.

"Hi, me…

I know how many times you've cried in silence, how many times you felt unseen.

But I see you now—clearly and honestly.

I see a face I maybe didn’t love before… but it’s mine, and I’m learning to accept it.

I see eyes full of pain, but also full of strength… and I will stand with you, not against you.

Everyone who hurt you made you believe you don’t deserve love.

But the truth is:

You deserve warmth, not transactions.

You deserve gentle touch, not exploitation.

You deserve care, not conditions.

It’s okay that you were weak.

It’s okay that you imagined being someone else.

Today, I choose to see you as you are—and love you as you are.

I’m here now…

And I won’t leave

you alone anymore."

A real-life tale of dreams, decisions, and destiny.

This is the raw, unfiltered story of a girl who had just one dream — to make her mother proud. She believed that independence and a good job would bring happiness, but fate had other plans. When her marriage was arranged without her choice, confusion, fear, and emotional conflict took over.

Told through her own voice, this story explores a young woman’s inner battles between duty and desire, love and silence, dreams and reality.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or forced to smile through decisions you never made — this story is for you.

Three bloodlines. One body. One soul without a nation.

An—a girl carrying the blood of France, China, and Vietnam—lives not only amidst the clashes of culture, history, and politics,but also torn apart by society’s prejudices on gender, identity, and dignity.

A memory-erasing drug has upended everything.But scarier than losing one’s memory—is no longer knowing who you are in this world.

As the shattered mirrors of the past begin to reflect,as family, love, and hatred intertwine into an inescapable maze,An must choose:to become a pawn in the power game between East and West,or to rise and defend the rejected part of her own humanity.

In a world being assimilated and fractured,amid political schemes and battles for identity,The Rebel of the Windis a journey against the current—where one deemed “wrong” learns how to live “right” with herself.

A story of identity, forgiveness, and dignity.A sigh for those who were never chosen—but still chose to exist.

And a gentle reminder:No matter how many bloodlines run through you,you can still bloom like a lotus in the mud.

A journey is usually something everyone enjoys, filled with excitement. But what happens when a journey is undertaken with fear and devotion? That is what this story is about.

Let's start:

Krishna had finished his studies and he was working at a call center.

One day, his friend told him, “There’s a job in Delhi with 1 LPA salary. If you’re okay with it, I’ll talk to my friend and try to get you a job there.”

Thinking it’s in Delhi, Krishna agrees.

The reason behind for agreeing Delhi offer is "Krishna’s family was heavily in debt. He was the one his family depended on. Although he's father is working he would like to give him peace, and Krishna wanted to pay off the debts and buy a house where he could see his parents happy. That was his wish".

Krishna believed in being honest and never cheating anyone.

Even though he knew his family’s situation, he was determined: “No matter what, I will never let go of my honesty and integrity.”

To get a job in his field of study, he needed time and he needs to do some study related courses, but that required money. Although he didn’t like the call center job, for money sake he will do that job, some how the job didn’t feel right for him.

At that moment, his friend told him about the job in Delhi, and Krishna said okay.

A week later, he received a phone call for an interview from Delhi. The interview would be entirely over the phone.

During the interview, they said the job would be from 10 am to 5 pm, and he’d have to answer customer queries and help them and some technical work will be there that you need to handle. We will provide complete training on that.

After the interview, the interviewer told Krishna “You’re selected.”

He told his parents about the selection and left to Delhi for the job.

After a 26 hour journey, Krishna reached Delhi. He got down from the train and called the person who’d contacted him to ask for the address.

That person said the office wasn’t in Delhi but it is in Ghaziabad.

He was told to take the metro rail from Delhi to reach exact location, which was about 1.5 hours from the Delhi railway station.

It was Krishna’s first time in Delhi. He had to figure out where the metro station was, so he stepped outside.

He went to an auto driver and asked. But Krishna didn’t know that there was a way to go directly from the railway station to the metro station. Not knowing this, he paid the auto driver 200 rupees.

After getting down from the auto, Krishna realized this and thought he had to be more careful from now on then.

Later he entered the metro station.

For the first time, he boarded the metro train in Delhi, he had never even been on a metro in Hyderabad.

He asked a fellow passenger when his station would arrive.

The man told him to follow the metro map. Krishna said okay and kept an eye on the map and the areas around him.

An hour later, he reached his station. He got off the metro and called the person who’d told him to come, asking where to go next.

The person gave him a place name and said to take an auto from there.

Krishna took an auto and left. About 40 minutes later, he reached the location.

He called that person again, the person said, “Our man will be there. I’ll give you his number. Call him and go to the room with him. I’ll come and take you to the office.”

There, a man was already waiting for Krishna.

Krishna called that man, and the two of them went to the room together.

Krishna freshened up and waited to go to the office. But it got late that day, so the man told him to rest and that they’d go to the office the next morning.

The next day:

Krishna reported at the office, submitted his documents, and looked around the office atmosphere.

But it wasn’t actually an office it was a training center. They were teaching how to set up a business, what you need, how to talk to people.

After the training, they would give you a store to run. The investment materials would be theirs, but the store would be yours to run, like a franchise.

Since he’d already come, Krishna thought, “Let’s do something" and stayed.

From the next day, he started attending five days of training.

During the training, Krishna found out something "For the franchise, the company required an investment of 10,000 to 50,000 rupees".

The person who had called Krishna to Delhi hadn’t told him this at all.

Now, that man was telling and convincing Krishna to pay the money.

Krishna knew very well his family’s situation and the debts. He didn’t want to take on another loan just to pay for this job or business. So, he decided to return home.

He told his roommate that he would like to go home to arrange money. Actually Krishna don't want to stay there but the person wants him to pay money. For diversion he said he will go home to arrange money.

Then he booked a train ticket online to Secunderabad.

Just then, our Prime Minister Modi announced demonetization.

There was no money in the ATMs, and only a few banks were open, with limited hours

Even in the place where Krishna was, no banks were open.

Out of the money he’d brought, he had only 2,500 rupees left.

He booked the train ticket online for 800 rupees, leaving him with 1,200 rupees. He had 200 rupees in his wallet and 1,500 rupees in his bank account.

The train from Delhi was at 5:30 pm, and Krishna left his room at 1:00 pm.

He ate a meal for 70 rupees, leaving him with 130 rupees. Auto and metro charges together cost 65 rupees.

Confident that his online ticket would be enough, Krishna decided to travel with the remaining 65 rupees.

He reached the Delhi railway station by 4:30 pm. The train came at 5:15 pm, and Krishna boarded it.

Krishna had an online ticket, but the ticket is in the waiting list. He thought he could show it to the ticket collector (TC) and request a seat.

Ten minutes after the train started, the TC came. Krishna eagerly showed him the ticket. But the TC told him that the ticket wasn’t valid and that the money would be refunded to his bank account.

Krishna was shocked by listening TC, he said the ticket he’d bought online is in the waiting list, and he didn’t even have money with him.

The TC told him, “It’s not my problem. If you have money, buy a new ticket. Otherwise, get down at the next station.”

Krishna argued, saying he’d bought a ticket online, but the TC didn’t care and told him to leave.

As Krishna was moving to the next compartments, he saw an empty seat and sat down. He showed his ticket to the people nearby. They told him, “This will be enough. If the TC comes, we’ll talk to him.”

Then he said what was the situation of him, why he came to Delhi all the story.

The passengers with him also offered some of the food they’d brought.

Meanwhile, Krishna kept thinking about his situation he was scared and tired.

The train was passing through Maharashtra. Some unknown persons talking like "I will get down at Balharshah station".

Krishna remembered the name of the place, Balharshah. He had traveled by the Balharshah train to attend his friend’s wedding in Mancherial.

But, It would take until 2 pm the next day to reach there. So Krishna spent the whole night awake, scared.

The next morning, without even brushing his teeth, Krishna stayed on the upper berth, chanting “Om Namo Narayana,” as he had great devotion to God.

He expected the TC to come at either 9 am or 2 pm. But the TC came at 11 am. When the TC came, Krishna had his eyes closed, chanting the mantra.

The people who had shared their food with Krishna told to TC that the upper berth was theirs, so the TC left without saying anything.

At 1 pm, Krishna received a message: “Your online ticket has been cancelled. Money will be refunded to your account.”

Seeing that message, Krishna began to sweat with fear. He thought, “At the next station, I’ll get down and somehow make my way to Balharshah.”

He thanked the people who had shared their food and got down at the next station.

The station was Chandrapur. From there, Balharshah was about 120 km away, which he came to know from an auto driver. Also he asked the driver about an ATM, he said it was near by.

But the ATM didn’t work, and another ATM had a “No cash” sign.

Krishna was upset he was stuck in an unknown town, with no money.

Then he remembered that he had a chequebook. He wrote a self-cheque for 1,000 rupees and went to the bank.

Weak and tired, he walked several kilometers to the bank.

Because of demonetization, there was a huge queue at the bank. He had to take a token to withdraw money. Even with the token, it wasn’t clear if he’d get cash that day.

He tried his luck at a nearby ATM, but there was no money there, either.

Exhausted, he stood in line at the bank. It took two hours for his token number to come up. Seeing Krishna so tired, a bank employee took pity on him, brought him inside, and asked the security guard to get him a samosa and tea.

Krishna gratefully accepted the food and thanked the bank employee. He took out the cash and went to the bus stop.

There, he came to know that there were buses to Balharshah, so he waited. At 5:40 pm, his bus came.

He boarded it and reached the Asifabad bus stop in Telangana by 9 pm.

He found out that the bus to Hyderabad would come at 10 pm. He had dinner while waiting for the bus.

At 10 pm, the bus arrived. Krishna happily got in, sat down, and finally reached Hyderabad and home.

Summary:  Chanting the Lord’s name helped Krishna, and he was ultimately saved by the people around him. God tests us, but if we keep our faith in him and remain honest and true, He will always send help during our difficult times.

***“Om Namo Narayana”***

New life begins for Krishna with more twists.

See you soon.

"When blood is no longer pure, can the soul still have a name?"

Born in the body of a Vietnamese boy—with tan skin, black hair, and the wistful eyes of the East—she (yes, she) never imagined that destiny would tear her apart.

A blood transfusion at age fourteen—meant to save her life—becomes the beginning of a journey of possession, multiplicity, prejudice, and pain.

The soul of a Western woman—wife of a Vietnamese man from a previous life—awakens within her.From that moment on, she is no longer one person.She becomes a fragment of history, an echo of the past, a threshold between East and West, male and female, sinner and survivor.

Rejected by schools, abandoned by her own twin sister, scorned by a society that despises “hybridity,” and belittled for her intellect, gender, and origin—she continues to live.Not to be accepted.But to prove: she is real.

She studies. She loves. She aches. She forgives.She does not choose revenge—she chooses existence.

No one sees the tear in her heart,but all see her rise.No one hears her sob in the shadows,but all witness her smile—like a lotus blooming in the mud,not as radiant as a rose,but resilient enough to survive.

And if you’ve ever felt unseen,if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong—then this story is for you.

Not to pity you—but to remind you that somewhere in this world,someone has lived as you have.And is still living.
