Lara didn’t like it. She knew what he had in mind. She was afraid. She heard James, a deckhand scream. He escaped from his bonds and ran. “Lara, run.” Those were his last words. The Russian’s bullet hit its mark. The scuffle had given the others a chance to escape. She tried to follow. She felt the Russian hit her. She fell down tasting blood. “Don’t you fucking move.” He said and went after the others. She had to escape. She struggled to her feet and moved into the shadows of the trees. Evading the searchlights she entered the village. The village burnt by the Russian and his me...

Trial and Error: The Sniper

So this is a new addition to my blog. I am trying my hand at writing short stories, and mainly translating other media to writing. The following is loosely based on the trailer for The American Sniper. No plagiarism intended. All rights go to the respective studios. Please don’t sue me; I don’t really have that much pocket money. Tell me what you think guys and if you want me to pen down a particular scene of your liking please let me know, I would love to try it. Let me know your Thoughts below. Disclaimer: I do not own American sniper. All rights go to the respective studios. The scope of his rifle pressed against the sniper’s brow, but he hardly noticed this as he shifted to a more comfortable position. His spotter who was kneeling beside him stiffened. “Man on a phone, Balcony. One o clock” He almost whispered to the sniper. The sniper refocused on the potential threat and followed his targets movements with a practiced eye. When it moved inside the safety of the hou...

Book Review: The Blood Of Olympus

Image
It’s the end of the series guys, and here I am reviewing it. So The Blood of Olympus is the last book in the wonderful Heroes of Olympus series written by Rick Riordan, and it concludes the story of Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Reyna and Nico. I am not going to reveal any important plot points and spoil the story, but I’m just going to tell you what I liked and didn’t like about the book. Pros:                  It is a great conclusion to the series. It has a spectacular climax; it ties up all the loose ends, and should satisfy most of the fans of the series. The writing is especially witty, and the humor is great, and surprisingly, there are a lot of emotional themes behind it all, and Riordan conveys them very well. What I really liked about the book is that it cut to the action, and did not make us wait. I mean, we have waited for four books, so I have to give props for that. It also does a good job...

Random Talk: The end of a true Saga…

As I sit here typing this, anxiously waiting for The Blood of Olympus to be delivered to me tomorrow, I cannot help, but fell torn. Why would I feel torn, you might ask, well is simply because, tomorrow, by this time, I will be holding the end of a series, that is very close to my heart. If you do not know what I am talking about, then let me clarify… The Blood of Olympus is the last book in the Heroes of Olympus series, written by Rick Riordan, or as I would like to call him, Uncle Rick. Now, Heroes of Olympus is the continuation of the previous series titled Percy Jackson and the Olympians . If you haven’t read either of the series, I suggest you do so immediately. I say that this series is close to my heart, because of one reason, I have committed to it, in a way I haven’t to any other. I have waited year after year, to read the next book. I waited a year to read the Son of Neptune . I waited a year to read The Mark of Athena . I waited another to read the House ...
