Written Traces

For the past few weeks, I have been reading incessantly. And the thing that got me hooked was spooky short stories.  I have engrossed myself so deeply in those stories that spooky dreams have haunted me too. However, these stories and consequent happenings have intrigued me with one thing.  And that is whether I could write a spooky story myself or not. So with that uncertainty in mind, I have tried my imagination to write about a strange event that happened in the life of David Coquette.

Silence is a versatile word.  Its versatility lies in its implications for a number of things. For instance, Silence is the best policy!  Implying putting a restraining order on your tongue to avoid giving unnecessary verbal responses.  Or giving someone the silent treatment,  implying the silent protest without indulging in ugly arguments.  Or the silent observation,  implying discretion while you examine something.   Be it as it may, the connotation associated with the word silence is multifaceted.  But the point of discussion here is none of the aforementioned connotations of silence. So, what is it? The Awkward Situation   Have you ever been in a situation where you meet someone - be it an acquaintance or an old classmate or even a distant relative - and since you and the person have lost contact with each other for years, you both have nothing to talk about after the usual greeting? Me too!  (I am assuming most of you have nodd...
