20 years ago I wanted to have this feeling, so badly. But here I am today.

If he thought 20 years in prison would heal me, heal my baby, then he got it all wrong. My baby, she was only 5-years-old when this vulture ruthlessly ravaged my little girl’s innocence. A year she lived in nightmares that filled her day and night before it finally snatched her away from me forever.

Today my baby can rest in peace, finally – I realized a smile spreading across my face looking at the puddle of blood that gathered on the floor next to his motionless body.

Revenge served cold…

This flash fiction is written as part of the #WordsMatter blog hop, organized by Corinne, Shalini, and Parul where 28 of us are coming together to share our musings on the prompt ‘20 years ago I’. I received this tag from Shilpa at Fictionista and it’s my pleasure to pass on this tag to Esha at My Soul Talks.

He kept kicking her. Yet she waited for his kicks gathering strength.

She struggled to get on. But her love for him kept growing.

And then, one day at the end of a painful scream, she held him in her arms as she met her precious little kicker for the first time.

medievalI am starting off with a weekly series of Five Sentence Fiction every Tuesday here. The above story is written for the prompt LOVE. Feel free to join me with your Five Sentence Fiction using Love as prompt in the comments. I would love to read yours.

Scary Reflection!

The reflection looked me back,

With a different look from what I have seen!

The enigmatic feel stayed intact,

Yet, so different, I felt,

Like someone else took my place,

Wearing my face!

I swayed, to make my reflection move,

To change the way it appeared,

Beauty, oozing out of the mirror,

My reflection emanating a sophisticated quality,

Irritating me further,

For I never wanted to be a complex beauty,

Even so a gruesome one at that,

With lips coated with lipstick,

Eyes adoring mascara,

Face polished with make-up,

And a look so unworthy of my face!

The smoke thinned out,

As I stepped back.

There, the reflection I longed to see,

Me, just me, the plain me,

My smiling reflection,

And the stress, melted away!

Five Sentence Fiction – Bubbles

to erase the past sufferings,
there is no magic potion, I know, other than let go..
to worry not about the future,
there is nothing else to do other than let go..
to be in the present, popping the bubbles as they come,
there is nothing else to do other than let it be..

it’s easier to say it all,
but to practice,
why i couldn’t, i wonder??
to let go, to let it be,
why is it harder than all the worries put together,
perhaps i will let go of my inability to let go, maybe, i will after all..

And then, he flees..

He arrives, enriching my mind, during the most unexpected moments. With his presence, I just forget myself and fall for him so shamelessly, so happily, over and over. Moments later I will be all alone and he, nowhere to be seen!

And I wait impatiently for his arrival once again, pledging myself not to do the mistake of letting him flee before I note down those thoughts. Until next time we meet, he will lay forgotten somewhere inside my head!

It was way past her bedtime but she wasn’t ready to sleep, instead she shook sleep off her sleepy eyes and continued to read.

She closed her eyes and thought about the dreams, she’s having. Eluding them isn’t easy, she knows. That’s why she is keeping herself awake to stay away from what appears to be flashbacks and bits and pieces from an old film, haunting her peaceful nights.

And as her eyes saw the spooky moments once again, she got on her feet deciding that she will share the dream with her shrink in the morning to tackle it for good.

“Dear god, here is the 100th coin, as I promised. You do know how hard it was for me to get 100 coins! Of course, you know, that’s what my mom told, that God knows everything.”

“Now can you please give me my mom back? I need her more than I need you, pretty please,” tears rolled out of those little hopeful eyes.

A fresh start, that’s what they agreed upon after she found out about his extra marital affair. Every time he cheats on her, he showers her with more love and that was her clue. Finally, she told him that she is not going to put up with his treacheries, and he agreed with her; he gave her his word that he will put an end to the philanderings and will stay true to her.

And he is keeping his word; she knows that because there is no overflowing love, infact there is not even a drop of love which made her realize that by making him promise to stay true to her, she did wrong to both of them – an unhappy man and wife is all that remained as the by-product of that promise.

So she decided to set them both free, by letting him go and starting fresh, a much needed beginning for them!

Sharon kept checking her watch. The needles moved at their own pace unaware of her irritation.
And then they got together at 12.
As she rose from her bed with the widest smile ever they sang outside her door,” Happy Birthday to you.” Her smile got broader as she received the birthday present, her first car, for her 16th birthday.

Having fought for nearly the whole of her married life to be treated like a human at least, running away from her abusive husband was not something she is proud of. But was the flight less than any fight she faced?

It took more than a year’s planning to execute it. She tread slowly to make the dream of breaking out of the chains a reality.

Now that she is out, her horizon is wide open; no need to live in fear anymore, the world is waiting for her to make it hers!
