Old memories.....;;55 on Friday



Vidya Sury 28.10 (7)

  Seema, old and lonely lives in a huge mansion since  childhood.  Sitting in her library amongst multitudes of books she takes a book, 'Love is a many splendorous thing'.  A faded  red petal  falls in her lap." Oh God." Morning the maid opens the door.  Seema, with the petal in her hand, is no more.







Written , in response  to  Vidya Suri's  prompt on Write Tribe's 55 on Friday.

    This is so sad. The mansion should be bustling with people and activity.but alas!

    A sad twist, but at least she died among the dear friends who probably entertained her life and kept her company.

    That was quite a sad, poignant take on the prompt. Love the strong, powerful emotion that you have managed to evoke in just 55 words.

    A mansion without loved ones is no place to live...The way you have used her lonely life and faded rose petal as parallels is simply beautiful Ushaji.

      Dieing in the company of your best friends...nothing like it. Hope she was not a loner and balanced life and books well.

    Sad! At least she died with the memory of a loved one and in the company of books.

    Oh that was a sad ending. Perhaps she reunited with her love - now that would be nice. Dropping by from the prompt.
