Room 309

A group of college friends returns to Shimla, where their lives were once changed by a mysterious and haunted hotel—Hillview Hotel. What was meant to be a carefree trip becomes a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and confronting their deepest fears. Prajwal, a budding writer, is accompanied by her loyal friends: the intuitive Swara, the confident Akshada, the prankster Anushka, the jokester Srushti, the topper besties Apurva and Swarali, the good-hearted Rutuja, the cheerful Khushi, and the ever-silly Akshara. As they revisit the Hillview Hotel, memories of the supernatural events that once left them terrified resurface, particularly the eerie and mysterious Room 309. However, this time, it is different. There are no ghosts haunting their steps—just the echoes of their past adventures. Amidst laughter, emotional bonding, and unexpected twists, Prajwal uncovers the healing power of writing and the unspoken stories that bind them all. Through her writing, she is reminded that stories—whether of ghosts or of friendships—never die; they live on in the hearts and minds of those who dare to remember. Room 309 is a tale of friendship, fear, love, and the stories we carry with us, long after the pages are turned. Prajwal’s journey as a writer mirrors her friendships’ evolution, reminding readers that every adventure, no matter how spooky or mysterious, has a lesson to teach. Join Prajwal, Swara, Akshada, Apurva, Swarali, Rutuja, Khushi, Akshara, Anushka, and Srushti as they confront their past, embrace the power of storytelling, and find the courage to face the unknown once again.

The son of my sorrow

Haunted by a sense of purposelessness and the suffocating expectations that follow her journalism degree, Cassopia "Cass" feels invisible long before she actually is. Her deepest, most secret wish is not for fame or fortune, but to simply disappear. After a heartfelt confrontation with her family, she retreats to her grandmother's quiet country home to find herself, only to wake up one morning to a terrifying reality: her wish has been granted. She is completely, literally invisible to the world. After an initial rush of freedom—traveling unseen, taking whatever she pleases—the novelty curdles into a profound loneliness. Her invisible existence is just as empty as her old one, until she is drawn to the sound of a man's grief. She discovers Ben-Oni, a brilliant and handsome cardiologist tormented by the belief that he failed to save a patient. Drawn to his pain, Cass finds herself in his presence, only to discover the story's central twist: Ben-Oni is the only person on Earth who can see her. However, consumed by his own mortality and grief, he makes a startling assumption: Cass is not a lost young woman, but the Grim Reaper, sent to claim his soul. Finding a strange sense of purpose in his gaze, Cass makes the bizarre choice to play along. In exchange for "granting him more time," she becomes his silent, otherworldly roommate. In this strange cohabitation, a unique bond forms. He is the only one who sees her, and she is the only one who sees the vulnerable man behind the cold, professional mask. As she pretends to be Death, Cass begins to truly live for the first time, her journey of self-discovery now inextricably linked to his. Their fragile arrangement takes a profound turn when Cass, realizing her role has become more than a charade, asks him a life-altering question: "What do you want to do before you die?"
