Rain drops---55 words of fiction.


 (The  following story is  a 55 words fiction. This is a  style of writing in which you have to write fiction  not exceeding 55 words. I was introduced  to this form of writing  by Madam Shilpa Garg,a well known blogger on Blogsphere. I have made an attempt. I don't know how far I have succeeded.)

    Raindrops made  Mary cry. William never returned.Went for  cake to celebrate  two decades married life.After waiting endlessly the guests departed. Sitting lonely her ,eyes fixed on  driveway and  phone. Shrill  call bell pierced  her  ears. William on  the line. Caught in rain.   Rain drops made her cry, not of sorrow but of delight.

  2. A great story, Ushaji! Mother at home in Charleston, preparing all the favorite dishes for her son and family waiting for them to visit during the weekend! Misses the daughter and her family in Greenville! Surprise! Her daughter and grandchildren call her on the phone! Sunshine spreads everywhere! Warmth hugs their hearts! Sounds of their chatter and laughter hang like pearls around the grandmother /mother! Such are the pleasures of mother / grandmother-hood!
