Yama, At The End Of Time

by Elancharan Gunasekaran

In the shadows, immortal beings watch. The acts and sins of mankind, written into countless scrolls. Read dutifully and archived systematically into mystical hives. Brahma seeks to find the perfect combination to creating the perfect world. Yet, in every new world he creates, humans seek to prove him wrong. They remind him of love and passion, virtues long lost among the arrogant gods.

The world is born anew once again, drawn and sculpted in divine blood. As Brahma's eyes close, Yama awakens. Raising the fires of hell, he travels across time and space. Three lives he will judge, before delivering his final verdict. Three lives he will watch with intense curiosity: Across raging dunes, tribal lovers flee from oppression. In the city of merchants, colleagues turned lovers, lose themselves in passion and treachery. In crimson back alleys, masculine and feminine energies converge, catapulting a youth into a whirlpool of sexual frenzies. At the crux of reality, stands Yama as he uncoils his hellfire whip, ready to render judgement. Will this be the end of the world?
