55 Fiction: Good Morning


The morning sun was shining through the draped windows, and he could see her lying next to him. She was beautiful, and the sun bouncing over her made him wish he could stay like that forever, lying next to her.

"Alright, it's time to wake up," he said.

"Woof!" she answered, wagging her tail.

    @ Ice Maiden... Thanks! And yes, I was considering that as an alternative ending, but then it would have exceeded the 55 word limit, so I left it out for you to figure out... hehehe! :P

… and she said, “I’m all yours.”

The school bell rang, and finally the moment she had been waiting for had arrived. She was free from school, and she couldn't wait to be back home. To be with the one she had been thinking of, for so long. “Have a nice weekend!” “You too!” “I’ll drop by at your place around five, ok?” “Sure thing. It’s gonna be so much fun, you guys spending the night over.” “We’ll stay up all night long!” The conversations amongst her classmates surrounded her, yet she seemed far away from it all. She was lost the her own thoughts, lost in the memories of the long hours she had spent in the company of her one true love. She got on the bus, and sat at her favorite window seat. She wished with all her will that the bus would start moving soon. Her impatience paid off in the end; the bus jerked to life, and slowly trundled off in the direction of her house. She felt excited at the thought of someone waiting for her. Her thoughts wandered back into the memories of the countless kisses t...

A Brand New Family

A little over a year into her marriage, and Rupal had exceeded all her expectations towards herself – she had actually become a wonderful cook. The Pulao and the Shahi Paneer were giving out the most mouth watering aroma, and she should have been proud of herself. Only, she wasn’t. It’s not easy to be proud of yourself, when you’re all alone at home, waiting for a husband who’s late. It was the third successive night that she’d been waiting for Himanshu to turn up, but he said he was held up at work for yet another day. She knew it was for the best, and yet she didn’t like it one bit. The fact that all her efforts at making the exquisite dinner were slowly turning cold was something she didn’t want to come to terms with so easily. She heard the key turning in the lock. A moment later, Himanshu’s voice boomed in from the corridor, “Honey, I’m home!” “You’re late again! Why do they have to make you work so hard?” she asked him the moment he came within her line of sight. Her a...

The Entertainer

The shower was one place where she just couldn’t resist singing. Her melodious voice danced over the notes, with the flowing water keeping the rhythm. Her voice obeyed her every command, and the song itself seemed to bring life into the world. It was a wonderful way to start a wonderful evening. All except… “Would you cut out your singing and hurry up? You’re making both of us late!” screamed Anuradha from the other side of the door. “Yeah, yeah, I’m almost done. Give me two more minutes,” said Samaira, while her reflection looked at her accusingly. ‘I should be an Entertainer. I’m supposed to charm people with my voice. Why doesn’t anyone get that?’ The evening was slowly turning into the night, and she was ready to take on the world. With the song still singing itself in her head and her heart, she walked to the Prakash Photo Studio. She needed some glamour shots for work, and Prakash (as it was fondly called in that locality) was the one place to get them from. She sp...
