11th Sense - The Final Defence

Anshumala Singh

Dear Listeners, 
Welcome to the thrilling world of "11th Sense - The Final Defence." From the very beginning, this story has been a journey of discovery and imagination—a journey I am excited to share with you. 
In this age of rapid technological advancements, where humanity continuously pushes the boundaries of science and the known world, I found myself wondering: What if there were more to human potential than we could ever imagine? We often think of our five basic senses as the limits of our interaction with reality, but what if there were hidden abilities within us—senses we’ve never fully explored? And what if those senses were the key to saving the world? 
That question sparked the idea for this novel. 11th Sense - The Final Defence is more than just a thriller; it’s a story of unlocking hidden potential and harnessing the full spectrum of human capabilities. It’s about a group of individuals, seemingly ordinary at first, who rise to extraordinary challenges. They discover that within them, and within all of us, lie abilities that can change not just our personal worlds but the future of humanity itself. 
Happy Listening

The Nameless City

H.P. Lovecraft

"The Nameless City" is a horror story written by American writer H. P. Lovecraft in January 1921 and first published in the November 1921 issue of the amateur press journal The Wolverine. It is often considered the first Cthulhu Mythos story. The Nameless City of the story's title is an ancient ruin located somewhere in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, and is older than any human civilization. In ancient times, the Nameless City was built and inhabited by an unnamed race of reptiles with a body shaped like a cross between a crocodile and a seal with a strange head common to neither, involving a protruding forehead, horns, lack of a nose, and an alligator-like jaw. These beings moved by crawling; thus, the architecture of the city has very low ceilings and some places are too low for a human being to stand upright. Their city was originally coastal, but, when the seas receded, it was left in the depths of a desert. This resulted in the decline and eventual ruin of the city.
