THE ESCAPE
He loved her madly, she reminded him of a hummingbird, small, full of life. He was scared she would fly away. He tried to clip her wings, with frowns, by imposing boundaries. Every unkind word, every restraint cut into her soul. One day she broke free, they called it suicide, but he knew the truth.

MOM’S GIFT
He unpacked the parcel.
“What did your mother send you?” she asked
“A pullover” he said, unfolding it and shaking out the tissue
“It’s so huge” she laughed
He just smiled quietly. After she left he wore it and snuggled by the heater blissfully, reliving the childhood feeling of being cuddled in his mother’s lap.

A VAMPIRIC LOVE AFFAIR
“I wish we’d met earlier, I was gorgeous then” she complained, her soft lips pouting
“I’m glad we did not, your beauty could kill me” he said, drawing her into his arms.
“How much do you love me?”
“I’d die for you” he said smitten.
Her fangs dug into his throat … and he did.

lovely stories! loved the first two.
Thank you Renu
loved all but the last one was a nice twist but tell me what is this tag about? what do u have to do? write any 3 55-er???? i am tempted too because I never usually do fiction this might be a good start
Yeah, got tagged on Facebook … you have to put up 3 55ers on your blog, that is all. Try it, makes you realize the power of words. You learn to economize with them and tell a story in just 55 words
Loved the second one, Ritu. Very touching. My kinda post 😉
The first reminded me of 3 Idiots, where Aamir tells Virus, that others ‘think’ that the guy who died had committed suicide, and did not know the truth!!
Yeah, come to think of it, it is like the 3 idiots scenerio
mindblowing microfiction 😀
loved the first one the most 😀
Thank you Rajlakshmi
Must take this up! Had done this ages ago – now time to get back! Loved the vampire one the best!
Yeah, please link back

first one hit the hardest.
second one, i can’t relate to but do appreciate the emotion.
third is funny. :))
Yeah, the third is whacky
