Autobiography

Karachi Chronicles Chapter 18
After a fantastic but draining tournament, we had one last official engagement. On the final night, we attended the closing ceremony, which was conveniently held in the cavernous function room at our hotel. This was probably the final time I would get to wear my Australian blazer and was likely the last chance to see many of my opponents. Some teams were even scheduled to depart later that night, straight after the ceremony, so it was definitely the last hurrah.

The Clock That Broke During Stillness
One afternoon, the clock stopped while everyone stood quietly, watching nothing in particular. No one noticed immediately. Hours passed uncounted. When movement returned, the clock shattered. People realized time had no meaning without attention. From then on, they measured days by awareness, not numbers.

The Weight of Unsent Words
The kitchen light hummed, a lonely yellow against the deep indigo outside. Arthur’s knuckles, gnarled and scarred from decades of fixing things that always seemed to break, pressed hard against the cheap linoleum of the table. Before him, a single sheet of paper, already crinkled at the edges, lay under the pale glow. The ballpoint pen, a freebie from the local hardware store, felt heavy in his trembling hand. It was past midnight. The air hung thick with the smell of stale coffee and the ghost of regret.

The Rain That Fell Differently on Each Person
Some felt warmth. Others cold. Some cried beneath it. Others laughed. The rain did not change—perception did. Reality, it seemed, is filtered through inner weather.
