Longingly she called out to her cheerful, carefree childhood memories in the painful war wreck. Even years later, all that reverberated was the heart- wrenching silence.

The walk in the streets felt different. The streets looked different. Everything was brighter and fresher. She could not help a smile on her face. She said âHi!â to everyone that passed by.
After all that struggle, she had finally got what she wanted. She felt that satisfaction even more as she approached her office. She looked forward to giving the news to her colleagues.
As Olivia approached the familiar stairwell leading to her office, her footsteps faltered, having seen something she’d been evading her entire life. A shadow lurking around in the dark had finally emerged in broad daylight, but this time, to settle old scores.
The good news lay buried beneath the shrieking yelps escaping from her nearly blue lips, before everything went pitch black.
My Tag:
I am tagging Chaz from https://lifeofchaz.com/ to write a climax for this story on the theme “Beauty of simplicity.”
Hello people! How are the new year resolutions going? All those who follow my blog know, how fond I am of elaborating and writing huge manuscripts. Well, at the beginning of a new decade I have decided to try something new. Short story writing!
Here’s the first draft. I hope you guys enjoy reading it.
She recognized her long abandoned son, the priest. Again. Guiltily she turned to the confession room to absolve her sins, but walked out, as she had no answers. Again.
Hello people! How’s it going? I do realize it’s been a long time, since I last posted and trust me, I missed my readers as much they missed my writing! Well, I hope you did!đ
So before we begin, (SPOILER ALERT), I have a surprise for my readers. All the time, my tedious college assignments were keeping me away from my beloved blog (boy, I love alliteration!)I was secretly working on something extremely exciting to tantalize my readers’ creative souls! I would be elated to read what you guys thought about this new tag of mine that has been on my To Do List for quite some time .

Kathy moved quickly, narrowly missing the rocks and roots scattered about the forest floor. A branch grazed her cheek once or twice, but she pressed most of them away with her free hand. In her remaining hand, she held fast to a new beginning, her heart beating nearly out of her chest. Hope bubbled inside her with each new step.
Kathy turned to look at a squirrel, taking her eyes off a branch that smacked her face a second later. She screamed, falling to the ground and landing in bear droppings. âKathy?â a voice called. Kathy blushed, mortified, seeing the handsome gentleman she had come to meet, the source of her new hope. He had witnessed her moment of clumsiness.
Scrambling to right herself, Kathy brushed off the remnants of her folly. âYou came,â she whispered, still clutching the half-broken locket. The man nodded, stepping closer until their bodies touched. Kathy trembled with anticipation as they connected their halves to completion. A blinding light burst from the heart locket and into the sky, creating an otherworldly glowing crescendo.
In that magical moment, in midst of purple and silver fog, Kathy caught herself longingly gazing at him. She had hopelessly fallen in love with him, an alien. Her knees regressed to weakness. Her heart spewed plume of desires, to implore him to stay and to make love under those stubborn branches. But deep inside she knew his world was somewhere far away from hers, a world she could never be part of and a world he couldnât stay away from. Conceding to that destiny, she recognized it was time to let him go.
A Conclusion (by me!)
Clutching the locket, she remembered the oath, she had taken decades ago, as the chief scientist; “create for progress, destroy for protection”. Fueled by the memory, she chose responsibility above love and proceeded to destroy her creation, her lover; the alien, a man with a robotic mind, before he wrecked havoc in her world. With one hand she tainted the automated locket and with the other, carved her way back, full of optimism, holding on to her new beginning…
I had tons of fun creating and doing this tag! And to continue this creative chain, I am tagging Betul from https://betulerbasi.com/ to begin another set of words linked together by imagination and creativity!
