“No office today?”
“Getting up.”
He couldn’t let her know today
Wearily he got up and found his breakfast served.
“I have to go early.” Saying this she left for her office.
He nodded his head and as soon as she left, he went back to bed.
He had been thrown out of his job.
Ahh! The undercurrent's very palpable Gautami. Poignant. :)

Yes nayan, I am trying my hands at 55 word stories. Short stories are difficult to write as they have to convey a lot is as little words! No competition though.
Nice story..n simply put..n nice poem u posted on mine:)
ReplyDeleteI mean Gautami - how else can somebody write on this. Impressive, paramount - this is good stuff, are you documenting this? You can actually publish commercially someday. You entire collection - really creative writing.
