The…teaser-
The word ‘joy’ refers to the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune, and is
typically associated with feelings of intense, long-lasting happiness. This ‘joy’ is found by different
people at different points in their life, for differing reasons, and if they are lucky, this joy can be
the purpose of their very existence.
The story is titled ‘Joy’ for a very special purpose. The story revolves around our crusader, Maya.
Maya’s way of finding joy in her life is certainly unique – and this statement itself is quite a
wordplay. Read on to find out why. 
Joy comes easy when you seek it out.

I’ll affix the first part of the first chapter as a tiny preview of ‘JOY’ below. Sincerely hoping that all of you would love this warm little story as much as I loved writing it!

Maya

Fatigue was threatening to wash over my insides again. I tried to rise, but I felt wholly comatose, unable to support myself. My renewed efforts vain, I fell back onto the bed. I hadn’t moved in the past week; the only sight for my sore eyes was the cream-colored wall adorning the space opposite my white metal bed. I was principally afraid of the bed sliding, and of me rolling off and away with it.

Naturally, I’d not be efficient enough to move the bed back to its original position, in front of the cream wall, beside the rosewood stool. I barely had enough energy to open my eyelids these days. “Maya,” my sister called out from behind the door to the room. She emerged, her usually perfectly made hair pulled up in a careless bun. “It’s time for you to-” I cut her across, holding a trembling hand up; it fell back down as quickly as it came, I was too weak, clearly. It was, however, enough to quieten her. She looked down as fresh tears filled her strong brown eyes. The nurse, Alisa, entered now, holding a prescription firm in her hands. “Well, hello again,” she smiled, giving me a bright smile. I wanted to return it, but I couldn’t. I simply couldn’t do a thing.
