FORBIDDEN LOVE


She stood looking across the fence. It didn’t exist before.

After the war ended, borders were hastily drawn. Neighbours who were previously friends, had turned bitter foes.

Mary sighed as she remembered that fateful night.
She had crept up stealthily to their secret meeting place, where Harry was waiting for her. They hugged and kissed, unaware of what was in store.

Bullet shots startled them out of their union. Harry pushed Mary towards safety of the nearby woods, and took out his shot-gun. What followed was a bloody battle, and Harry killed.

Their crime ~ they belonged to rival cliques.

  1. A good fight is always a pleasure to read.This one had love, or destroyed love. Not sure about that last line. Opportunity for more tension in other wording, maybe a character speaking it.

  4. The fence is not only a physical barricade but is meant to divide love and hearts.

  6. Like the surviving Juliet.. and knowing that it all started with them.. this feel like you have made a different end totally.. very good.

    I have to tell you Nandini, I like your writing, but unless I'm mistaken I have never seen you leave a single comment on any other story.. I might be wrong but I think this is a community and some level of reciprocity is expected I think..
