Can't Touch This...

The generations of students that have survived the rigorous disciplinary measures, bestowed upon by the notorious Woodstock staff, have yet to discover the skeletons in the cupboard. From the Indian families living around the hostels to the unperturbed lands of Woodstock, much remains open for hungry adventurers. What beholds the future detectives may produce some astounding, yet unsettling news. For instance, a group of close-knitted friends preparing to leave Woodstock for winter vacations witnessed the most unusual scene: lying on the frighteningly tall trees surrounding Midland’s hostel was an unappealing pink and yellow bird; the bird being on a tree was of no surprise, however, what seemed like a big, juicy bird from afar ended up being a stuffed animal clutching the lingering branches of the tree. The disappearance of the stuffed animal during Winter Break still prolongs a mystery only known by the ferocious monkeys and langoors nosing their way through campus life. And thus the story begins with the Woodstock’s compulsive students, who are unknowingly fading into the quest of finding the hush-hush vicinities, the unfamiliar faces, and the bizarre incidents occurring on the grounds of Mussoorie, India as to finally dirty their hands in areas pigeonholed as the “untouchables.”
