A House of Cards
This post is under 3 words Wednesday 3WW CCXCII. The prompt words are-Dignity (self respect), Lacerate (tear or deeply cut) & Ripe (matured & ready to harvest)

His words lacerate through her dignity. She felt deceived, hurt
and belittle, all together. “That’s a very rude thing to say and…” she said. “Whatever”
He refused to talk and signaled an exit. The bond that should be ripe & strengthen
actually seemed like a house of cards, why blame winds, waters or anything
else.

ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the t :)heme!
Thanks Shilpa :)
DeleteAll I can say is you were in a hurry as you wrote this.
ReplyDeleteHee hee...True but why? :)
DeleteMore than having any interest in writing 55 Fiction, I just want to figure out why it even exists!
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course, the idea is to develop this thought into a full blown short story. I think you should do that - from 55 Fiction to a 1550 Fiction! You should use this nice germ of a plot! Narrate the back story, and what happens next :)
Well...good that it exists, as I love writing them and a lot of time reading them.
DeleteFull blown story needs loads of time (unlike written b y talent bunch like you- how much I loved ur melbourne jhalak dikhla ja wala post :D) and keen interest which I seem to have lost...55 fiction comes easier at times n easy to read esp for lazy ppl like me!
Narrate the back story? aha.....thoda personal hai, some other time? :)
Very well written. Sentence structure is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks sooooo much!!!
