Rohini
About The Author
A Canadian of Indian origin, who includes Bahrain as her home, Rohini has published three books and a short story collection. Several of her poems and stories have appeared online, in print and audio. She is an old-fashioned poet at heart who enjoys puns and loves to tell stories or tease through her words. A strange look, the way the wind blows, a news item, or a prompt…anything can kickstart either a verse or a tale, depending on where the words take her. Each day is ripe with potential… or not. She also has an inordinate fondness for ellipses.
Rohini’s publishing credits include: The Statesman, India; Globe & Mail and Halifax Chronicle Herald, Canada; The Flaneur, Lucid Rhythms, Poetry Rivals (Remus House, UK), Shortlist: Atlantis Short Story Contest 2013, Winner Oapschat, U.K; Colours of Life, Bahrain, Society of Classical Poets (USA). Books: Corpoetry, Desert Flower, Five Lives One Day in Bahrain (Ex-L-Ence Publishing/Amazon) Twelve Roses for Love (Short story collection). A short story has recently been published by The Missouri Review (Digital, Print & Audio and as Featured Prose)..

A rhyme has a reason
“It must be a serial killer,” said RCMP Superintendent Ray Jones of the Southwest Nova District in charge of Lunenburg County crime in Nova Scotia, “that’s the fourth one in as many days and all the bodies had a live fish next to them.”
“That’s the signature for sure, but how many more can we expect and who?” asked deputy Sarah Muller as the fourth victim’s body was loaded into the police van to be sent to forensics in Dartmouth.
