Bimal K Srivastava's "Translucent Creatures" (short story, monster hunting, free)

Well told variation of two oft repeated themes - monster hunting & invisibility.

A man lists various real cases of the transparent tissue found in animal bodies, & a conjecture that may be there exists a creature that is fully transparent to human eye.

Later parts are a hunt for this creature. Near end, the protagonist begins feeling like a proper mad & paranoid professor, though the hunt itself is not uninteresting.

It's not a bad read if you can ignore a few flaws:

1. Sometimes badly formed sentences - possibly because it's a translation (at least it felt like one).
2. Occasionally pedantic.
3. Unnecessarily set in Boston - making dialogs that feel like from small town north India appear out of place.
4. Unnecessarily explaining that something is in India, marring the flow.
