LITTLE FLASHES - 55 FICTION

1. One Last Time...

“One last time, please,” she pleaded,
“Its all over, you have to move on now, its best for you,” he said.

Without him nothing was good.

“Okay this once, then never,” reluctantly he obliged, guilty mind.

Few days later, he died. He had AIDS.
Now, with AIDS she awaits her death, waiting to join him.



2. The Reward...

‘Help!!!’ The poor boy heard as he strolled by.
The rich man‘s daughter had slipped into the deep muddy lake. Nobody came to help, all were uncertain.

Without a thought he jumped in, saved her.

Anything you want, you shall get, said the grateful father.
I want to go to school, came the simple reply.


3. The Lie...

He was leaving her, he said ruthlessly. He had found another love.
Shattered she took to drinking, and slept randomly with different men searching for love.

One day the news came that he had died. She was shocked.
He had lied to her, his illness! In a hope she’d move on.
Her life was destroyed.
