A very well crafted story

A very well crafted story

Sometime during the summer vacation a young boy of Class 3D gets promoted to the unknown 4th Dimension of Death and this doesn't require his mother's signature of approval……..

A very well crafted story in which the central character is no where present but every sentence evokes his presence forcefully and painfully. Like death, the author leaves the scene at short notice, without ever mentioning the word death, leaving the reader to grapple with the tragic realisation that death permeates throughout the story. She also dwells on the futility of being remembered after one is gone.

An excellent Story.
