As stories go…

They met. They fell in love. They married. They worked their asses off to meet their needs. They lived happily ever after. There is no twist in the tale, so stop looking for it 🙂 https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2020/09/02/its-six-sentence-story-thursday-link-up-123/

So long, and no longer…

“There is an end to an end to everything.” The words reverberated through her mind with the same intensity, though a decade had passed by. The days spent outdoors when she was busy doodling, and he was perfecting his photography had taught her so much. Unknowingly, she had started spinning yarns about a life together. … Continue reading So long, and no longer…

Missing

She walked out of her fave restaurant after a satisfying dinner, enjoyed alone. It was her last night in the city. She was going to miss a lot of it. The hurried walks through this street when she was late in the morning, the stroll after lunch and maybe a quick drink after work. The … Continue reading Missing

Dark secrets

The police was at the doorstep. He thought the matter had been closed la few weeks ago. “You are under arrest.” The tone was terse, and there was no other option than getting in the jeep with the police team. A few hours later…. “We have traced out deleted chats from a number which was … Continue reading Dark secrets

What was it?

Untouched books crowded his shelves, shiny leather spines and faded first editions, meticulously dusted and never read. She wondered how long it had been, and what had happened in his life after she left. Those days and nights of reading, and long evenings of deep discussions were still fresh in her mind. She had become … Continue reading What was it?

I guess I missed the acerbic expression in her eyes. “I heard some noise yesterday, and your house help sneaked in on the … Continue reading End of a dream

Next Show #writephoto

It has been six hours since we got lost.… We are playing a game for a TV show, buddy! Dan was irritated. But I don’t see the cameras following us… I think I heard the buzz of a drone. I’m on the verge of giving up… I can sense that. But, hey, look there … … Continue reading Next Show #writephoto

Night of horror

It was a night to remember, much more than a campfire in the countryside. Our friend’s father had ensured a full-on traditional celebration for her birthday party. I don’t know how banned drugs made an appearance, and soon the party was going from whacky to wild to uncontrollable. And then, the unspeakable crime happened. The … Continue reading Night of horror

Going back

“Haven’t we done this before?” The look in her eyes was defiant. “What? Driving me round the bend?” “Why doesn’t the message go through your thick head that you cannot dominate or manipulate me?” “Is that the way you talk to your father?” “Well… you know better.” His entire life floated in front of his … Continue reading Going back

Forward Movement

It was their first performance, and life would never be the same again. She did the Power Pose, Bhramari Pranayam (yogic method to clarify thought) and a quick reverse reading to forget all that had gone by, before she delivered her best on stage. It was not easy to forget all that she had left … Continue reading Forward Movement
