A Fire in the Night by Ruskin Bond is a haunting and poignant short story that explores themes of loss, mystery, and quiet resilience. Set in a small hill town, the story follows an old watchman whose life is upended one cold night when a fire breaks out—revealing secrets, sparking memories, and awakening the past.
With his signature atmospheric storytelling, Bond crafts a tale that is both simple and deeply moving. Through rich imagery and emotional depth, he invites readers into a world where even silence speaks volumes, and the most ordinary moments can hold unexpected meaning.
A tale of solitude, reflection, and unexpected warmth, A Fire in the Night is a fine example of Ruskin Bond’s ability to illuminate the human spirit in the softest of lights.
