Hacked Everything

 ‘Room’ popped up on the computer screen when Ryan was half asleep on his work table. He added one more word to his orderless list where all of Princy’s thoughts were jotted down. Ryan had always wanted to hack Princy’s brain to find out if she liked him back. But her recent weird behaviour fueled his curiosity. She wasn’t her usual self this whole week.

The other one popped up stating ‘ The results were positive’. Current flowed through his body, he tried to say no to the thought which chased his mind. He breathed hard epiphytically realizing that Princy was pregnant.
