 POISON
IN THE TALE
Four Twists That Leave You Gasping
By Noel Keymer
Poison in the Tale is a set of short
stories that leaves one spellbound. With a smooth flow, each
story eventually moves to a sharp turn, startling the reader
with the unexpected.
Like the little protagonist in The Boy
Who Hated Trains, who whips up a perfect escape plan, little
realising that no plan in life can ever be foolproof.
Or, for that matter, a top bomb disposal
expert in The Challenge, who has an unwritten war of egos
with his antagonist, the bomber, with each trying to outdo
the other.
And, then, there’s the story of Subedar
Subodh Singh, an eager young Jawan, descending from a long
line of army men, who has waited all his life to come face
to face with The Enemy and to kill him… and what transpires
when he actually does.
And, of course, Child’s Play, the tale of
a Bedouin girl, Salma, and the ‘poisonous’ tales she spins
in the desert.
Like a scorpion that holds poison in its
tail, these stories carry sting in the end; something that
will take your breath away, leaving you wondering at the
alacrity at which life and its situations jump at you,
unannounced.
The fourteen stories have been written in
simple, crisp manner to appeal to a wider section of
readers.
