Forehead

A quick smile

Pauses

Picture #ATOZCHALLENGE

Thinking about topic for P led to thoughts about a dear departed friend and then my head became too murky to write. So decided to go for short fiction instead !

#1
Pictures speak louder than words, her mom said.
She wondered what the fuss was all about
when she recited the poem the boy from the picture taught her

#2
She looked picture perfect in her wedding dress
Only he knew her imperfect tattoo
That she had unsuccessfully tried to remove after their breakup

#3
Picture yourself in a happy place, the yoga instructor repeated.
It was always in his arms,
Even after all these years, they refuse to let her go.

Emotions#ATOZCHALLENGE

Some short fictions for the letter of the day 'E'. 

#1

Enchanted, he watched her hide the spoon in her pallu

The mystery of the missing spoons was solved

As he demonstrated his newly learnt skill to Mom as she put him to bed that night

#2

'Excited to be back!' She said at the airport. 

'Looking for someone!' Her eyes searched the airport. 

'Found my home!' Her heart whispered when she found him in the crowd

#3

Euphoric, she touched her mother

He had decided to keep her

Eagerly she waited in the womb to thank her dad

#4

Exaggerating evidence pointed towards him

Still she refused to believe

He had promised to her a lifetime of togetherness

#5

Emails were exchanged and the final date was fixed. 

And when the day finally arrived

Only one broken heart was left at the altar
