Fading – FlashFiction

Fading

Mom wasn’t always like this. She used to be the liveliest person in our house.

She had answers for all the questions and solutions to all the problems. She made everything seem to be nice when nothing seemed to right.

Her sense of humor was wonderful too. There never was a dull moment with her around. Never had I felt abandoned under her care.

It all began with forgetting the little things. The TV remote, car keys in the freezer, her name – that was a shocker when she couldn’t remember her own name. But it was funny too, because she joked, “I’m a mom, my name is long forgotten!”

When she couldn’t remember my name that’s when we realized that there was something wrong.

She looks okay, but she is not. She sits in the verandah looking at the gate as if she is expecting someone. I wish I knew who she was waiting for! If only she remembered to tell me!


This flash fiction is based on the prompt Mom from The Frangipani Creative group! Thanks for the prompt, Corinne.

Deception – #FiveSentenceFiction 4

fiction, Five Sentence Fiction, Prompt

“Aww, honey, you look ravishing in this picture!” – said the comment notification on facebook for her photo followed by three hearts and kissing emoticons.

“You are so sweet, my love!” – she replied after liking her husband’s comment.

“You two are adorable, so much love!” – said another comment from a mutual friend.

Mindlessly, she liked that comment too. The farce of perfect couple and their perfect love fooling their friends and family and themselves; deception at its best, she thought nonchalantly.

fiction, Five Sentence Fiction, Prompt

Tara read for the umpteenth time that night what she wrote on the white paper in front of her carelessly fiddling with her pen. “GoodBye”, it read. Goodbye to all sorrows and failures and hopes that failed to keep its promises, she thought miserably.

Just then she caught the glimpse of morning sun up from its slumber spreading its warm rays all over. A smile appeared on her face as she made the paper into a ball and tossed it into the bin and reached for her camera.

waiting all along for my time to be the grown-up,
to enjoy, the lusts and lures of the world,
all by myself.

Letting Go

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!

Written based on the prompt – Fresh for Five Sentence Fiction.

“But, I love tea!” Riya was furious.

“Can’t you just go one day without tea?”Dan wasn’t in his pleasant self either.

“You know, I don’t drink coffee, Dan.”
“Why you are getting so upset over tea!” Exclaimed an irritated Dan. Then he spotted tears welling up Riya’s eyes. “Don’t cry. I get it, you and tea has some connection that I can’t possibly understand. I will stock up our pantry with tea for eternity.” As Riya smiled through tears, he was still confused.

Miles away Riya’s twin sister, whose existence she wasn’t aware of, was savoring a cup of tea.

The rain hummed her favorite lullaby
As I craddled on the bed,
Listening to her voice..

And the rain sang the lullaby,
As the night crawled in
And I nuzzled with your thoughts..

And the voice grew feeble
As I slipped into sleep
And the rain sang the lullaby..

In the numbing cold,
I wandered, shivering.
The rays of the sun, unseen
Despair clouded my heart,
Like the foggy morning.
And a touch calmed me, your touch,
Warming my heart,
Soothing my thoughts,
The touch I craved for!

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.

Written based on the prompt – Irritation for Five Sentence Fiction hosted by Lillie Mcferrin.

Who am I, I ask myself,
A woman, a mother, a wife,
It changes every time I answer.

Who am I, I wonder,
Why am I defined by the roles I assume?
Why my role changes with people around me?

Who am I, I ask,
The hard question I ever faced!
Is it that label which makes me someone?

Who am I?
The question continues,
Who am I!
