The Tsunami Part-1 These stories are all from the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago.  Ignesious was the manager of a cooperative society in Katchall. His wife woke him up at 6 a.m. because she felt an earthquake. Ignesious carefully took his television set off its table and put it down on the ground so that it would not fall and break. Then the family rushed out of the house. ये सभी कहानियाँ अंडमान और निकोबार द्वीपसमूह की हैं। इग्नेसियस कच्छल में एक सहकारी समिति का प्रबंधक था। उसकी पत्नी ने सुबह 6 बजे उसे जगाया क्योंकि उसने भूकंप महसूस किया था। इग्नेशियस ने ध्यान से अपने टेलीविजन सेट को अपनी टेबल से हटा लिया और उसे जमीन पर रख दिया ताकि वह गिरकर टूट न जाए। इसके बाद परिजन घर से बाहर निकल आए। When the tremors stopped, they saw the sea rising. In the chaos and confusion, two of his children caught hold of the hands of their mother’s father and mother’s brother, and rushed in the opposite direction. He never saw them again. His wife was also swept away. Only the

               I Want Something in a Cage MR PURCELL did not believe in ghosts. Nevertheless, the man who bought the two doves, and his strange act immediately thereafter, left him with a distinct sense of the uncanny. As though, behind his departed customer, there had lingered the musty smell of an abandoned, haunted house. मिस्टर परसेल भूतों पर विश्वास नहीं करते थे। फिर भी, जिस व्यक्ति ने दो कबूतर खरीदे, और उसके तुरंत बाद उसके अजीब कार्य ने उसे अलौकिक की एक अलग भावना के साथ छोड़ दिया। मानो, अपने दिवंगत ग्राहक के पीछे, एक परित्यक्त, प्रेतवाधित घर की तीखी गंध थी। Mr Purcell was a small, fussy man; red cheeks and a tight, melon stomach. Large glasses magnified his eyes so as to give him the appearance of a wise and genial owl. He owned a pet shop.

The man said it was early nineteenth century, and oak. I had wanted one, but they were far too expensive. This one was in a bad condition, the roll-top in several pieces, one leg clumsily mended, scorch marks all down one side. It was going for very little money. I thought I could restore it. It would be a risk, a challenge, but I had to have it. I paid the man and brought it back to my workroom at the back of the garage.
