"That floor is never even, how many times do I have to re-do it," the young actor was frustrated at the contractor's mediocre work.
He was a newbie, and his bicycle reminded him of his limited finances.
HIs guests had to be accommodated on that rickety bench that played a see-saw every time someone sat.
It'd be a while before he could afford better things, till then, that was the reality he needed to adapt to.
How he wished he could be the 'angel' he played so often in his acts, and sooth away his worries for real.
Maybe someday!
Yes, that 'someday' comes in everybody's life. Good thought.
ReplyDeleteMay he become that 'angel'.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in
ReplyDeleteSomeday is better than nothing, especially if "someday" becomes fuel for today...
ReplyDeleteFun story, I liked the bench playing seesaw, great image!
ReplyDeleteIf it's wealth he wants, he may have chosen the wrong career in acting
ReplyDeleteInteresting reflective story, Nandini.

ReplyDeleteWe're still waiting for the someday, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the hopefulness.
ReplyDeleteGreat crafting of the story from all the prompts.
ReplyDeleteA little unevenness is better than no wheelchair access at all.
