50WORDS STORIES

NANA:

Danny kneels on the floor as his knees finally give way. Hugging the torn and tattered doll close to him, he roared,” I’m sorry they hurt you like that, Nana… …”. Nana’s heart is the only living thing that remains and yet, he nearly gets ‘it’ dead. Danny sobs uncontrollably.

PERFUME:

“Jason, stay away from Grandma… ….She smells and I don’t want you to smell like that, understand?” she overhears Rebecca’s instruction to her grandson. Her nose wrinkles as she checks herself. She shrugs, grabs her purse and walks out of her room. She needs to buy perfumes, tons of them.

ANGELS:

Samantha swallows the last pink pill and raises the volume of the radio. It is playing ‘Angels brought me here’ by Guy Sebastian. “If you could see what I see, you’re the answer to my prayers… …”she sings and steps on the accelerator. Right ahead, is nothing but a cliff.

LOVE:

“Cheers, darling!” they whisper sweetly to each other. It is their 30th wedding anniversary. Jill has her milky white hair pulled back neatly in a bun and Garry has his combed back suavely. Time flies by so quickly but it is amazing that their love for each other never fades.

FISHY FISH:

Fatimah hums to a tune that is in her head as she steams the fish. She cannot hold back a satisfactory smile. This morning, she flirts with the fishmonger and gets the two red groupers for the price of one. At the age of thirty, the Indonesian maid is flattered.
