A bottle of whisky, a palm reader, a prophecy. And a night that unfolded like silk around the hips. Slow, hot, dangerous.
In this episode, I'm reading you my latest short story, "The Fifth Lover."
From rooftops in Northern India to the dark dancefloors where we lose ourselves, this is a story about what we remember and what we rewrite. About possibilities and dead ends. About the high of being young, untethered, and briefly, beautifully, unbroken.
Until it all unravels.
Is it a story or a memory? Real or constructed?
You’d have to listen to figure that one out for yourself.
