    About this ebook

    Inklings offers a glimpse into the world of flash fiction, which, while not a popular genre in traditional publishing, is making an impact in online literature.

    To provide the reader with an idea of what to expect, the author would like to introduce five of her twelve stories in this anthology.

    1. Intoxicated by Impossibility - The story of one guy who can't fall asleep because of one girl who's not even there. Or is she?

    2. Who wrote the Rules? - Existential angst clubbed with rebellion against The System.

    3. The revolt of the coconut trees - Inspired by an academic study published in the Journal of Trauma, 1984, titled "Injuries due to falling coconuts".

    4. So what? - What happens after the Storm.

    5. Cheeky - A story about that chubby part of a certain person's face.

    Sep 2020:I'm writing again! See my current project at write.as/somebodyelse (clickable link in the below section, see "Where to find me online" )Back in 2011:Aparna Warrier enjoys music that she can hum along to, books that make her think deep and movies that tell her something she didn't know. After a brief sabbatical to ponder the meaning of life, especially her own, Aparna is back to computers and coding. Among other things, she has discovered that nobody has answers to questions about life, that Paul Bloom gives great lectures on psychology and that the secret to making awesome coffee is non-trivial.
