Fixations
She desperately wished that he would grow up. He had remained rooted to his childhood after crossing half a century of life. She saw him calling up the genetic family and childhood pals to chat about inane stuff, after she had informed him of her internal bleeding. She did not fear a fatal illness or … Continue reading Fixations
Eye-Opener
I will forever cherish that moment of awakening opening of an eye which gave me a glimpse of what is possible Weekend Writing Prompt by Sammi Cox
Weekend Writing Prompt #48 – Glimpse
Glimpsed outside to freedom

The Horse
The horse came back alone, with an intense and pleading look in his eyes. The Queen knew that he was sent back by the Master with a message. His loyalty was unquestionable, unlike the other advisors who surrounded the King. She knew that the King was in trouble, and had sought help. She ordered the … Continue reading The Horse
