The mystery. I've always been an avid admirer of the mystery that surrounds us. Be it natural or man-made, I love them. They've always attracted me. And thus I went on to write a whole story on it. There are many stories I've read that took place in mysterious circumstances and could not reach a conclusion. So I thought of creating one and providing a mind-boggling conclusion that no one could think of (according to me).

'The narration'. My whole story is narrated in the third person's POV as I wanted to narrate the story through my eyes. I wanted people to feel the coldness that I felt every time I read some of those stories. But it was not as easy as I thought. I struggled a bit while presenting thoughts of every character sometimes and also keeping up with the pace was difficult

'The Dialogues'. They were easy as they involve only 'telling'. But all the non-dialogues thing, the involved 'showing rather than telling'. So, telling part is always easy and they include the use of day-to-day language.

Overall, they liked it. I still await more responses of readers for a proper average conclusion but other than that, whoever read it, found it interesting.

This is a stand-alone novel. I don't think I'll add parts or sequels to it. The mystery of the story will be retained in a more preserved form if it's presented alone.

The message lies in the story itself. But if they would learn something from the story, it would be 'Trust is as flimsy as onion peel'. I meant you can't just trust anyone you met or anyone you knew for lifelong. Just be strong whenever you feel your trust is broken.

I'm not that capable of advising others but still, you can always learn something from someone. So, focus on 'Show vs. Tell'. I've learned it from another writer and I'm passing it onto another one. You need to focus on where do you want to show the story and where do you want to tell the story.

Yes, She does. She's like me in many aspects, especially when it comes to handling pressure. She panics just like I do. But also, her way of handling things also matches mine.

My story is basically what would help you to escape from your world and enter the one you're reading. The scenario will make you think 'oh I felt like I was just there." And I tried to make everything logical so that they would have a realistic experience.

Yes, I do. After completing this one, I have another one coming. I've made the cover and even the story is done. I just have to write it here.
