Parting Ways

Eyes averted, they took different paths.

Another ambiguous short story for my collection of Flash Fiction.

#Day30 of the National Blog Posting Month and I’m proud to have finished what I started. It’s been one hell of a month, and though it was a bit tough posting every day, it was a great experience. I’ll try to keep up to the routine as much as I can.

Thank you all for reading, liking and commenting. And a special thanks to everyone who came back day after day for more of my blog. It was a huge encouragement to see the graph grow.

Hope you all had a great November, Movember, NaNoWriMo, NaBloPoMo – whatever endeavour you took up this month!

Rootless

Born in Atlanta —
To a Swedish mother
And a Welsh father.

Started speaking when in Moscow,
Set little steps in Morroco.

Landed in an Irish high-school,
Passed an English junior-high.

Built an American corporate,
Lived with a Canadian model —

Married to a Mex dancer,
Fathered a confused offspring —
And died rootless — the nomad.

My response to this week’s Weekly Writing Challenge. I didn’t want to go with anything serious, and so I came up with this little poem-story of a nomad to add to my collection of Flash Fiction. Also it’s National Blog Posting Month – #Day27

Just One

No one was around to see him so what did it matter if he took just one? – Today’s Author

Crouching low, he picked a single blossom.
Clara loved flowers next to her hospital bed.

Career Conflict

“Code is poetry,” reads confused marketeer.

A 6 word story for my collection of Flash Fiction. In case “Code is poetry” sounded familiar – it is, here.

National Blog Posting Month – #Day20

Reality Strikes

“Dad!”

He rushed to his childhood hero. Relief spread through him as he held his father’s firm shoulders under his palms.

“Thank goodness,” he wheezed. “Weird dream! We were in an accident.”

Raised eyebrows.

He gulped, “A truck ran us over.”

“That was no dream.”

Pinto

A mild horror story for my Flash Fiction collection. Also, National Blog Posting Month – #Day13
