Theme for Aug 16, 2013 'WOW' : ‘At the stroke of midnight…’ Your post this week should start with, ‘At the stroke of midnight…’ ( set of 55 fictions )

1. The Life Exam...

At the stroke of midnight, she hugged him tight.
He held her, trying to treasure the moments.
Another day was over.

A cancer patient, with a limited time-frame given for her survival, everyday was like an exam. Today she passed, but, will it be the same tomorrow.
Will she survive till next stroke of midnight?

2. Chop Chop Chop...

At the stroke of midnight, he sharpened his knife.
It was time to chop the meat again.
Tomorrow, the crowds will again start pouring in, smelling the aroma of cooked meat. It always happened that way.

A busy bustling restaurant; it was only close to midnight,
that he got time to prepare for next day.

3. The Call from Grave...

At the stroke of midnight, she got a phone call. Who could it be, she wondered, said ‘’Hello?’’
She lived all alone, had no one to call her own. After her husband died, she had closed herself in her house, in grief.

“Honey, it’s me. I’m missing you. Come join me,” her dead husband spoke.

4. What if...

At the stroke of midnight, she got up the stool and tied her dupatta on the ceiling fan, making a knot.

She wanted to die.
Just moments ago, her fiancé had called it off.

The door bell rang just then. She hesitated, finally opened.
Her fiancé stood outside, “I was just kidding honey,” he said.
