#WordsMatter, fiction, flash fiction, microfiction, Revenge

Revenge.blog-post-image

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.

Sanya was bubbling with frustration as her sister brought home the latest iPhone on the first day it was available in the market. She could never understand Seema’s fascination for electronic gadgets just as much Seema failed to understand her sister’s craze for books.

The twin sisters couldn’t be any more different. One loved books and filled her room with author signed copies while the other loved gadgets and was on a mission to own the latest technology gadgets.

However, Sanya was certain that no one needed three smartphones, not even her crazy sister.


Above flash fiction is written for Day 3 of Barathon hosted by Blog-A-Rhythm inspired by the prompt “Three’s a crowd”.

“Dannyyy, why did you push your friend down the stairs? Look how hurt he is?” Rita was annoyed at how the playdate has turned from fun to fight.

“You told me to stand up for me when kids are not nice to me. Alex was making fun of my new haircut. I was only standing up for me, mommy!” paused Danny.

He looked at his mom and continued with a little hesitation, “I won’t get into trouble for this, right mommy? The other day when daddy pushed you down the stairs he didn’t get into trouble. So it’s okay, right?”


Written for Day 5 of Write Tribe Festival Of Words inspired by the above photo prompt.

Amy looked at the photograph in her hand once again. Another Father’s day has come and gone, yet she couldn’t muster the courage to face her father.

All that she had of her father was this photo – she as a little baby sleeping peacefully on her dad’s chest! He remained a mystery to her as her mom never disclosed about the whereabouts of her father. Lies can never cover up the truth forever. Finally two years ago Amy managed to extort the truth out of her mother, not after guessing the inevitable though.

But now, watching from distance, Amy couldn’t help but feel that her mother’s lies were sweeter than this reality.

One last look and she walked back promising to keep those flowers in his grave tomorrow.

“You should ask her.”, advised Harry.

“What if she says no?; I’m waiting for a sign.”, answered Toby.

“Don’t wait too long, I heard Dylan saying that he is her friend”, warned Harry.

“That’s the sign; I am going to ask her now if I can play with her.” The determined first grader ran toward his classmate.

“Imagine that you have only six months to live; what do you do?”

“Then I will live my life to the fullest, checking off things from my bucket list, without thinking what others might say,” Mia replied as blindly as she was posed with the question.

“Let’s do that then!” exclaimed Sherry.

“Why such a hurry?” Mia questioned without lifting her eyes off from the phone.

“Because today my doctor told that in less than six months the tumor in my brain is going to win my life completely.”

Riya ran down the stairs as the doorbell kept ringing.

“Didn’t I tell that I will open the door” She barked at Mia, who was clearly happy to open the door on time.

“Losers weepers” mocked Mia.

The trick-or-treat voices were drowned in the sibling fight leaving the kids perplexed.

She heard the doorknob rattling. She peeped through the adjacent window and there wasn’t anyone. But the doorknob still rattled adding to her nervousness.

It was just like the time she walked back home from work. She was sure that someone was following her, but no one to be seen. And this time, she wasn’t going to tell her suspicions with anyone else just to be called as paranoid.

And she went back to the bed with the unsettled feeling settling in her mind.

Written for Friday Fictioneers for the above photo prompt.

She didn’t know, my eternal love for her,

Kept my distance,

Under the illusion that it was for the best!

Years later, a reunion brought us together

Uniting us forever!

Circle of Life you may call it!

Missed all those years

We could’ve been together,

Had I conveyed my love!

50 words Fiction written for From 15 to 50 Fiction Challenge.

Word prompt: Eternal

Phrase Prompt: Circle of life
