Trifecta : She held on !

She was overwhelmed with grief. Despite she tried really hard to not let the party fervor down. She had quite nicely masked her feelings from the moment she had entered the party-hall. She had made it all about him. Of course, he was the only one who mattered.

With the elegant black dress on and keeping herself busy entertaining the guests, she was doing everything in her power to be the best hostess. She had retained her typical wide, innocent smile but to manage the lies with her eyes was getting difficult with each passing moment. She kept dodging all those piercing gazes that sliced into her eyes. Amidst the noises, she could hear the footsteps of his husband coming towards her. All she wanted at that time was a hug from him to assure her that everything was going to be alright. In seconds’ matter, he was standing in front of her. But, she was confused when she saw the contempt on his face. She almost had all her senses arrested when she heard him saying, “Could you infect the party with any more of your gloom?” She was perplexed at his discretion. She could not believe! Had she let him down or he had just forgotten to look into her eyes which were telling her story of how much she wanted to just leave the place and be with him alone and cry and just cry till she falls asleep in his arms. Her bewilderment was still unanswered because all she wanted was to make him happy. Of course, he was the only one who mattered!

My life in the box

I live in a box. My world may seem strange to you. But, it’s not as bad as you think. It does have holes in it which lends me some fresh air from time-to-time. You may think I must be scared of the big-burly cat living on the outside but I am not. We are kind of best friends. I can listen to all the chatter from outside.  But now I can close my ears whenever I want to without anyone seeing. The holes, I must reveal now, ain’t my best friends either. They complicate things for me because I can’t feel the total darkness here because of them. Just when I am about to, rays of sun from these holes try to illuminate it down here for me as if I am some impotent chap, not capable of doing that on my own. They just don’t get it! So if they are not going to stop playing this naïve game, they are going to get a worthy opponent in me. And so in retrospect, I plastered few of them with black paper. But now, right this moment, I want to live out in the open again, enjoy the warmth...

Trifecta: Dream Dream, come again !

He had dreams. Many of them! Everytime he’d fail he’d spawn few more. But he had jotted them all down so when he achieves his first he could say, “Life was worth it!” ________________________________________________________________________ Link to Trifecta Homepage:  http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/ This is my submission for this weekend’s  Trifextra challenge . We had to write exactly 33 of our own words inspired by the following quote from the book we could win in the WBN  giveaway. Good luck! “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”  ―  Paulo Coelho ,  Alchemist

My SUPER-Man !

~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~ This is my response to Trifecta’s weekend prompt: This weekend we’re having some fun with the prompt, some super-powered fun, that is. We’re asking you to write the origin story to the superhero of your choice in exactly 33 words. I was so confused who to write about. I had so many of those qualities in mind. But, I mentioned only the best I had liked. May look out of place, but 33 words were too cruel this time.  This is my SUPER-Man!  ~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~ Tormented past, never complained. Didn’t know he could save then. Thus the Growl. Sketched the tormentor Like a Marionette. Which he then hung upside-down. Never uttered anything ill, So words had Midas touch.
