The small shops on the shore were buzzing with people, kids were playing their favorite game, and the young couples were waiting for the last ray of sun to die – Happy Hour. 'Seriously, life has changed so much.' |
First Date: (12 years ago) It was a cold winter night spent in the seashore. She lay upon my chest. Her touches ignited my soul despite the freezing winds. Her hand caressed my chest, tracing circles upon it. My heart beat more rapidly in my chest. She asked, ‘Is this the first time?’ I smiled, she smiled, and we did. |
That Day: (8 years ago) I thought it was just another Sunday. I was sleepy due to a late night office party. Hence, I was unable to join with my wife and two-year-old kid for an early-morning walk in the beach. An hour had gone by! I was waiting for them but… The new channels flashed...(click here to know what happened) “Tsunami rocked Indian Ocean” |

Do stop-by to read the CHIAROSCURO OF LIFE - Clouds
Surprise element well woven .. but I guess I was more overwhelmed by the technique rather than the sad event itself!!
ReplyDeleteVery creative!! I was expecting the ending, but it was reaching there :) Good job.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully stitched 3 of 55 fictions in one continuum of events. Amazing !!
ReplyDeleteI have read few on the topic or blog-a-ton but yours is superb. You are very creative as Fool said. Japan Tsunami was horrible.
ReplyDeleteBow to your creativity!
