UNTIL DEATH is a masterfully woven collection of tales where fate dances with choice, and the line between right and wrong is often traced in the dust of circumstance. Ten gripping stories of moral complexity, razor-sharp twists, and unforgettable human moments that stay long after the final page.
In ?Until Death,? a man burdened by heartbreak finds solace in a quiet attic apartment, only to discover his landlady carries a grief eerily similar to his own. As their shared past slowly unravels, the bond between them deepens-not from romance, but from the recognition of mirrored pain. In a story where chance encounters become catalysts for healing, Kumar paints a haunting portrait of guilt, redemption, and quiet resilience.
?A Definite Storm? follows the tremors of parental instinct when a mother?s premonition clashes with her son?s headstrong idealism. A kayaking trip in spring becomes the crucible in which trust, regret, and fate collide. In true Archer fashion, the storm isn?t just meteorological-but internal, where guilt and love trade places with every crashing wave.
?The Fall? is a psychological tapestry that peels back the façade of small-town tragedy. When a woman?s accidental death is publicly mourned, only her children know the darker truths buried at the cliff?s edge. Years later, in a diner soaked with silence, the past is dredged up-not for closure, but for reckoning. With chilling clarity, Kumar explores how trauma nests quietly in memory until one day, it speaks.
In ?The Distance Between,? a domestic worker?s quiet world changes when her son and the child she helps raise become inseparable. A sudden offer binds the families-and hearts-closer. But when the tides of fortune shift, the fragile threads of belonging are tested. Told with restraint and emotional elegance, this is a tale of sacrifice, found families, and the resilience of maternal love.
?When Half Was Bigger Than the Full? is a courtroom of the heart. Two estranged sisters are forced to confront old wounds when a forgotten lottery ticket resurfaces with a jackpot. One name printed, two lives changed. Through sharp dialogue and emotional subtext, Kumar balances the scales of justice-not with law, but with love, memory, and a shared past too valuable to abandon.
?The Japanese Code? barrels into thriller territory. A desperate man holds the key to a fortune, and a silent hostage stands between him and success. Enter Naomi-a translator with her own hidden motives. As the tension coils in a dim basement in Tokyo, betrayal and justice clash in a single explosive act. Here, loyalty is tested, language is weaponized, and a woman?s quiet resolve becomes the fulcrum of fate.
?A Sketchbook in the Rubble? is a war story, but not of generals and guns. It?s of a girl, her lost sketchbook, and the brother she believes is gone. In bombed-out Mariupol, courage doesn?t roar-it whispers in pencil strokes and folded notes. Kumar channels the quiet determination of youth who, even amid war, search for lost love, identity, and pieces of home.
And in ?The Quiet Telegram,? a widow receives word of her husband?s death in service-a man who hadn?t been seen in months. The telegram brings community sympathy, unexpected closure, and a funeral. But when the coffin arrives, she sees a face that?s almost-but not quite-his. With this final twist, Kumar reminds us that some truths are best left unspoken, and some freedoms only come wrapped in silence.
Until Death doesn?t shout.
