| PHOTO PROMPT – © Jean L. Hays |
I told you not to continue with your dangerous racing, especially after the near fatal accident that almost killed you a few months ago. Yet, you did not pay heed to me and went ahead with it without thinking of anything or anybody else. You were selfish and only thought about your dreams and passion, ignoring our beautiful family, our wonderful kids and me. Look what it has come to now, as I stand here helpless wondering how different things would have been had you listened to me. There you lie buried and here my life is set to flames.

Dear Soumya,
ReplyDeleteWe don't realize how our actions effect others do we? Well done.
Shalom,

Thank you Rochelle.
DeleteWow! What a take on the prompt! People sure are so reckless with their lives. One wrong swerve and its all gone...
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading Vinodini!
DeleteOh gosh! that's so sad. So well written Soumya, in just five sentences. good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Parul!
DeleteNicely put and a remarkable take on the prompt where you have linked 'flames' to the living and not to the 'buried' dead !
ReplyDeleteThank you Kokila.
DeleteWell written..sometimes we lose sight of what is actually important and then not only us but the people around us end up paying the price..
ReplyDeleteI agree and that is so sad. Thanks Naba.
DeleteGrief and anger come through perfectly. Great story.
ReplyDeleteIn just so many words you evoked such strong feelings in the post. It is true people dont realize the suffering they put others through because they want thrills in their lives.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading Harini!
