Description
On a living board where pawns awaken nameless and compelled, Elias Varron refuses to surrender his identity. Bound to shield a leader untouched by sacrifice, he discovers seams in the rhythm—fractures in the rules—that hint at freedom. As beasts, bells, and executioners hunt hesitation, Elias learns that survival is not betrayal but defiance. Pawns of Desire is a haunting tale of compulsion, rebellion, and the power of names against oblivion.
Anirudh Singh is a creative writer, video editor, and graphic designer based in West Bengal, India. His work blends cinematic imagery with literary depth, often exploring themes of compulsion, survival, and rebellion against systems larger than the individual.
With a background in multimedia design and a passion for language, he crafts stories that merge visual storytelling with experimental narrative structures. His fiction draws inspiration from surreal architecture, game theory, and ritual mechanics, creating worlds where rules are cages—and defiance is freedom.
Beyond writing, he studies Japanese language and culture, designs visual concepts, and develops projects that fuse art with narrative. Pawns of Desire is part of his growing body of work that challenges boundaries between memory, play, and free will.
