They said he died because they wouldn’t accept him.

They said he died because they got him married hoping it would cure him.

They said he died because he stopped loving.

They said he died because they could not find him smiling anymore.

They said he died because just breathing isn’t living after all

———————

And with this we have finished a week of 55 word fiction on Marathon Bloggers. A week of fiction in Jan. I am happy with myself and my fellow bloggers. Here’s to more such challenges

Aaah what a delight this one, just the perfect one

Ouchie you are hurting me, you are so heavy

Light as a feather, come back tomorrow again darling

You could do with some more food dear, you could

Go run another 5km on the treadmill

Said the gym weighing machine to itself through the day

She looked at him losing track of time

She looked at him with tenderness and with love

She looked at him with fear and with apprehensions

She looked at him for a long long time before she picked up the bundle of joy and placed a tender kiss on her first born’s forehead letting the tears flow

55 word fiction : Just when he was leaving

Bags packed, belongings taken, people hugged.

But he looked reluctant to let go,

He looked at the temple in the room,

He looked around for the childhood he had,

He looked around for old age me might have had,

And just when he was leaving he looked around at the Kashmir he might never see again.

As he immersed the little white bundle in water, As he immersed someone who could have been his daughter, as he immersed someone who could have been his joy. He grit his teeth and bore the pain because if didn’t then the sarpanch will pull trigger of the gun on his head…

 So he grit his teeth and bore the pain…        

This is written as a part of Marathon Blogger theme based blogging. My attempt to yet another 55-er, I am slowly realising the only fiction I can may be do 🙂

She was cuddling with her new born. She had always wanted a daughter but now that she had a son she wondered whether the secret disappointment would count as cheating, now that she had a son she also let a huge sigh of relief thinking about the nights she would actually sleep.

She had always wanted a daughter but now…

55-er, blogging, milestone

Her mind is full of contradictory thoughts and emotions…

should I dare, sometime I will have to do it anyways…

or may be tomorrow today doesn’t seem to be the right day…

Lost in deep thought she gasps at the number staring at her. 879 posts….

with a heavy heart she marks all as read and starts a new chapter

———————

Yes my dear friends that is my real story in a 55-er, so if u have anything you wrote in the past 3 weeks and you want me to read please leave a comment else its all been marked as read 😦

And also with this we mark the 700th post of this blog … huge huge number… I am impressed with myself that the blog still interests me even after writing so many posts, I agree there have been many a fillers too but I think for me 700 is huge… so lets celebrate…. the next celebration here would be when I hit 1000 posts 😀
