OUTSKIRTS - LATE NIGHT

It’s the dead of night.

HER POV

Glides along the road, leading into town.

Eerie.

She arrives at the town entrance.

And sees --

A statue. Of Stree. Complete with ghungat covering her eyes.

And labeled as ‘Protector of the Town’.

Under it is the inscription: ‘O Stree, Raksha Karo!’

She stares at it for a long moment -- pondering.

Then, in her signature move, tilts her head to the side with

a sigh.
