Shape of orbits

“You have no choice. Deliver on this parameter, or find another job.”  Why are you surprised when the attrition rate increases? The orbits you build around you are sharply angular, not smoothly elliptical. When you say there is no choice, you actually give them a choice to continue or quit. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2021/03/20/weekend-writing-prompt-201-orbit/

Hail Humans!

Unseen writers open vistas of unseen worlds without ever touching a brush or paint. I salute the inventor of language. I bow to the faculty of imagination. Hail Humans! https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2021/03/13/weekend-writing-prompt-200-vista/

Layers of thought

Assessment

“I walked out after wasting quarter century of my life. His entitled behaviour and gaslighting became intolerable.” Ananya took a long time to accept the truth. I’d dumped him after two dates.

Seeds

The one-year old throws up, and his mother looks hassled. “He doesn’t know when to stop eating.” Systems are put in place to keep a check on his oral consumption.

Dumb-founded

All she knew about this celebrity guest was the note sent by his personal assistant, and a few news clips. She pulled out a picture of his, and pasted another face on it.  “Glad to meet you, Sir! Hope you enjoy our hospitality.” Her tenacity and tolerance for tantrums was well-known, but this time around, … Continue reading Dumb-founded
