Snowsome Tales 4: The Final Leap




Till now:

8 brave people go on an arduous trek. Battling Himalayan might they reach the Valley, The Valley of God, only to be blown away by its beauty. As they make merry in their rest house during the night, a storm gathers. The next morning they abandon their plans of going further up and instead run downwards in heavy snowfall, with any signs of habitation a day's trek away. By the time they reach the Osla village the weather is all well again. The simple village life and beautiful village girls leave them mesmerized. As the night gathers, they prepare to sleep hoping for a relaxed and uneventful trek the next day. But does that ever happen in the Himalayas?

Crash and Burn

What's swimming...

without holding yourself underwater
long after your breath's gone
and your consciousness undone

until you see the world above
die in slow motion

What's life
I ask,
without heartaches and heartburns!
