The woman in black finally decided to reveal her identity. I watched with bated breath, as she lifted her veil, and then, I almost stopped breathing for a while. She was not strikingly beautiful, as I had expected, but was a relic of the past.
What had happened in her life, in the interim period? And why was she following me? It was scary, but these are the twists and turns of fate, that keep the story of life going.
I woke up drenched in sweat. Why don’t the characters of my novel leave me alone, when I sleep?

I sleep soundly and noone invades my dreams. Maybe I am losing out on some fine experiences. Hats off to your writing ,Reena.

They can command much of our attention, those characters we think we dream up! Or do they dream in us? Great flash, Reena!

Interesting, Reena. Sometimes, unwanted characters in movies and TV shows invade my sleep

They tend to get mixed up with people, situations, places that we are familiar with. But I love to get story ideas, if I can recall the dream later.

Nightmarish! Characters take on lives of their own. Sometimes, they are the writers, and we are just the medium.
