Theme: Murder/Suicide
Topic: Attempted

Winners:
               1st: Nakashi Chowdhry (Eng Hons II)

Superman’s Sister

Amelia first discovered she could fly when she attempted suicide from her balcony. It’s rather disconcerting, finding oneself floating harmlessly when expecting to end up a nauseatingly gory splatter on the pavement below.
In her room she flipped open a little notebook and on the page with the growing list of failed suicide attempts due to newly discovered powers, she sadly crossed out another: ‘jump’.


               2nd: Swati Daftuar (Eng Hons II)

Never stand with your back to the world, especially on a cliff. You are usually pushed off. Never turn around and face your murder. You will see yourself as they see you. It is not a pretty picture.
Never, and I mean this, kill anyone unless, of course, you really want to. It is a tough job. And always, always have an alibi. Good luck.
