Pink Slippers
Guys!
Have been asked to contribute to a flash fiction website, Rammenas. Was so happy that wrote something quite sad. Started drafting it and had to stop, as it almost made me cry- not a good idea when in the office, pretending to be busy on Excel. So, had to actually do some work for a change: to distract myself.
Got home, finished it, asked mother-in-law to read. Mother-in-law cried. Was convinced my mother would cry, too but she was too obsessed with Farmville to get emotional about some 500 word fiction.
Anyway, enjoy!

ReplyDelete@Riyad: was it the right size of food? :)
Did not bring tears to my eyes, i'm just not sentimental these days. But reminded me of one of me favourite authors - O'Henry- the king of short stories. Nice.
ReplyDeleteWell, if those comments don't convince you to write some more, nothing will. Great story scary.
