Brevity #ATOZCHALLENGE

I have always been a fan of short fiction. I love the way the tiny tales seem to pack a punch in such short verses. As they say, Brevity is the wit of the soul. I am going to try and use that in the below verses. When I first started thinking about the topics , somehow I wanted to write about anything and everything that started with the letter 'B'. Finally, I decided I shall indeed write about all of them. So here we go. - short fictions on different things - Betrayal, Bold, Beautiful, Brave, Bird,  Binoculars, Broken, Book

#1

Betrayal of the worst kind.

He looked at his mother with accusing eyes.

The promised candy happened to be on the doctor's table. 

#2

Be bold they said. 

Be beautiful they said. 

Being both, she wondered why no one told her about the ensuing loneliness. 

#3

Brave face on, she watched

As the tattoo took the shape of a free bird

Somehow the pain in her heart seemed more tolerable now

#4

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

To him, it was her eyes that held him captive

Even through binoculars, they seemed to look right into his soul

#5

Broken heart. Betrayed soul. 

They searched for happiness in the bookstore

Cupid smiled as they both picked the same book
