"Beneath the Apple Tree" by Prabhat Ranjan

By Amrapali DB
I looked up above, as I laid Beneath the apple tree, And wondered how nice it'll be, To get those apples for free. But the apples were too high to reach, So all my hopes got lost When suddenly in my mind it came Great Newton's age old thought. That when he sat below the tree As useless as I was, Without any effort, or initiative, An apple did really fall. Newton said that he was the one Who first actually had found That earth pulls the apple towards itself And makes it fall on ground. Having faith in Mr Newton I laid there as I was The  noon  changed to night, (The sky flooded with moonlight) But the apple did not fall! And then I began to doubt If really Newton said it true Or was it for only name and fame To gain his own fortune! Just then from above did fall An apple that made me sicken! For it emitted a chokin' smell And throughout it was worm stricken! Within a flash I speculated That no book has ever mentione

[Ignis - AGON] - "The Destination" by Digvijay Anand

By Amrapali DB
Months after Ignis, AGON, was conducted, we present to you, dear readers, one of the shortlisted fictions sent in by Digvijay Anand, team Dimension_X, from the very Indian School of Business, Hyderabad! Beginning on a sci-fi note, we assure you that there is a pile of brilliant pieces of work waiting in line, in no particular order. We suggest you play Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children score in the background while this story absorbs you. Blade Runner should work equally fine.

"A Shade of Red" by Yuna

By Amrapali DB
The Sun rose as red as blood; the still waters mirrored the vices of above. Upon the horizon was the shadow of an Eagle Out to play; seeking its prey down below, As the silhouettes docked in iron, clanked their swords, The earth trembled as they danced to the tune of death. Shattered were their hearts, shattered were their dreams, Hope is all that remained to those waiting to be redeemed. Red moon, red leaves, red are the flames that purge Upon the tainted ground. Scattered are the red flowers of dirge. Authored by Yuna ____________________________________________________ Yuna is the pseudonym of one of our fellow students. She has too many plans and is sure that she would need nine lives to execute them all. She likes putting her feet in too many boats, and then sinking all of them, together. When she is not dreaming of elves and dragons, she is too busy procrastinating and planning Earth's doom.
