Thanks for reading and this lovely appreciation.Review
Story - Dead but Alive
Writer - Mak
What a wonderful story, simple but full of suspense. The style of telling the story was to remain intact. At first it felt like it would be a suspense thriller murder mystery, which it still sounds like, but it was a little different from a typical story.
The story continuously creates interest for itself, like for the first time Aniket sees Priya naked at that moment it seems perhaps Priya has died but this idea soon changes, and then we wonder why Priya is doing this, the secret of Priya's illness is finally revealed at the end.
Often, while writing a story related to mental illness, the writer gives some imaginary idea of illness according to their own view, but here too you have kept the story real by highlighting a real illness.
Ending the story with a cliffhanger may disturb the readers but such stories do not have an ending, questions remain to be raised, so that a person can think of such an ending. At the end of the story, Hemant says his wife's name is Sudha, that is why I believe in 2nd possibility, surely this was a conspiracy by Hemant and Sudha to kill Aniket and Priya and get their property.
There is another possibility that the whole story is actually just Hemant's imagination and characters like Aniket and Priya are really don't exist, but I believe in 2nd possibility that this is Hemant and Sudha's plan to kill Aniket and Priya.
The narration of the story is awesome and Aniket's signature in the letter which is shown in cursive font was a great way to make the story more realistic.
I don't find anything that can be criticised in this story. Keep it up bro.

Story tumne kaafi dhyan se padhi hai.. Tumhare alawa kisi ne bhi is ending ka nahi socha I think. Main chahta tha ki kisi ko ye idea bhi aaye, isliye maine wo end me Hemant ka statement daala ki story sirf imagination hai.. and then left with Sudha in the end so readers will feel in dilemma.
