Badmash, MD, Kush – Thank you very much for your kind words. My friends are always telling me I’ve missed my true vocation and should have been a writer instead

MD — A belated Happy Birthday to you. Kush — You’re a true hero for the earthquake relief effort you’re involved in. God bless you.

A maelstrom raged. The giant whirlpool growled as its ferocious waters churned. Violent blue receded into the abyss along with unassuming travelers dropped in the midst, not discriminating against any: Thai, Indian, Mexican, Chinese, or Italian. Laminar blue gently trickled in, replacing the turbulent with tranquil. As Bruce Lee once said, Â“Be water my friend.Â”

aarrgh! I deleted the blue part in whittling the words down. How about, using 'Blue Apts' to make up for it?

Sheesh.

Hey….thanks for all the birthday wishes, SMers

Fantastic microfictions, all (Jai Singh, I am awaiting your novel, it’s bound to be awesome).

Title: It’s cold here today.

“Pick up the keys.” “No.” The keys are in the gutter. He’s waiting. You smell the alcohol on his breath. “I said: pick them up.”

I’m in the bathroom. My face looks swollen. Tommorrow, I’ll leave work early. Go to —- Apts. Sit down; sign the papers. I won’t tell him. He doesn’t need to know.

Wish I had seen this thread yesterday. So, I cheated…

Subs with a stranger

Sitting two seats away in the Blue Lounge, he felt threatened as she told him, a complete stranger, all about her trip.

Then she mentioned her Â“husband and two kidsÂ”.

Immediately at ease, he warmed up to her over foot-longs and soda.

He had concluded that a married desi woman would never hit on strangers.

Â“How about this one?Â”

Eagerly, he took it from her hands, stood up and unfurled the sari. Â“Madam, this is the latest style! It suits you!Â” Expertly tucking and folding, in less than a minute he modeled the sari for them.

Â“Eh! Blue is bad for your complexion. Nice girls wear orange!Â” her mother-in-law snapped.
