A birth. A disappearance. A future on the brink.

In a packed mosque, a woman gives birth as an entire village hides in silence until the child’s first cry brings armed men to their doors.

In a shadowed forest, a witch drags a man into captivity until a boy and his uncle stumble upon a secret that blurs myth and reality.

In a distant future, a bomb shatters a bunker city, forcing a grieving mother and spiritual leader to question her faith in a broken world.

Set in the fictional town of Poshmarg,
this powerful, interconnected novella unfolds through episodic vignettes that trace the lives of a sprawling family across generations capturing the fractured, haunting reality of life in Kashmir.

Blending
folk myth, political tension, and dystopian imagination, Muddasir Ramzan crafts a deeply human portrait of ordinary lives shaped by extraordinary conflict.

Inside this evocative work of literary fiction:
• Interconnected stories spanning past, present, and future
• A nuanced exploration of the Kashmir conflict and its human cost
• Themes of memory, identity, faith, and survival
• Stark portrayals of love, loss, and impossible choices

With a rare precision of language and emotional depth, the narrative captures mothers, lovers, and survivors navigating a world where the past is constantly rewritten and the future offers more uncertainty than hope.

For readers of literary fiction, political narratives, and powerful short story cycles, this is a haunting, unforgettable read.

In a land shaped by conflict, every story is an act of survival.
