Drive to succeed

Drive to succeed

His drive to succeed kept him going as an immigrant. Having a mortgage, he worked doubly hard to repay. Despite rejections, he kept trying to forget and move on.

His family sacrificed a lot and he knew that one mistake could end it all in a snap. The pile of challenges kept growing but he wasn’t deterred. He never stooped to unethical methods.

Sitting in the park, he remembered the day he became a citizen. It felt the galaxy had come together to help realize his dream. His felicity had no limits.

Safe to open up?

Safe to open up?

People see what makes sense to them, reality notwithstanding.

The calls to open up had reached a crescendo in countries where vaccines were aplenty. People yarned away without appreciating how lucky they were compared to the rest.

Zenith of Disaster

Zenith of Disaster

May didn’t augur well for him. While he was sure that his family was careful, he knew that the precautions followed by those who came home had gone wayward off late. Within days, the covid fatalities rose and as he lay in bed, his thoughts were interrupted as an auger was used to put his wife’s frame on the wall. He laid a lei on her grave next morning wondering how the pandemic had broken their union.

Memories

Memories

If winter is death, surely, red-slashed autumn is the wound that brought it. It had been a strange year with the magnitude of issues. But he pursued whatever he could as vigorously as ever to add memories to his vault. He did rest and work and was now ready for the melt and freeze of winter.

Heather

Heather

The food in the new restaurant was delicious. As the waiters kept moving along amidst raucous laughter, he trudged along to find heather being used for cooking.

Cavalier

Cavalier

She was tired seeing his cavalier attitude to life. All through the summer, she tried her best to make him understand the need to balance everything. But instead he could only assume that she didn’t care to see him happy until one day when she decided that she couldn’t take it anymore. But by then he knew that it was too late to apologize.

Astronomy

Astronomy

He couldn’t believe his eyes when the planets were aligned in syzygy. While he selected astronomy with the toss of a coin, he developed a penchant for it over time.

Obdurate

Obdurate

She loved exploring the wilderness wherever she went. It was quite an experience taking in the peace and quiet. Though cognizant of the dangers she would expose herself to, she had always been obdurate in whatever she wanted in life. Little did she know that as part of this experience she would come across some dangerous secrets which would nail the killer who had been on the loose for quite some time.

100 word fiction: Lovestruck

I want to forget those days but I can’t seem to get over her. It seems that she is still here with me walking hand in hand by the beach.

We happened to meet by chance in a restaurant where she had come for a business meeting. When we got talking, we realized that we had so much in common and a friendship quickly bloomed. Soon enough, we were besotted with each other so much so that I had surrendered myself to her charms.

But when she suddenly passed away, I was only left with our photographs and my loneliness.
