55 Fiction - #33

55 Fiction is a form of micro fiction that refers to the works of fiction limited to a maximum of fifty-five words.Most 55 Fiction works are dramatized so as to get the effect in limited time.

FINAL DESTINATION

He told his mom, "Mom, I bought a new house. We are going to vacate this house. Pack your things and get ready soon". She was exuberant.
The car sped off from the old building and stopped infront of a two-storey building. After donning her specs she read : S.P OLD AGE HOME Welcomes Everyone.

With Love,

You are hereby conferred the title of 'Queen of Pathos' in 55ers. :-( Your bright vs. pathos 55er ratio is approximately nil.

Cmon, can't there be bright and cheery 55ers?

Samadrita said...

Madman said...

why does the son say

" we are vacating the place"
Is the son gonna live in the old age home too?

"i have bought a new house"
Did he buy the old age home?

I know you are trying to keep the suspense but this is way too much dear

Shruti said...

>>Venky
Hahahaha :)
Too much lam illa.. fact :)

Social Issues cannot be handled in a cheerful way!

:-) I'll go and look at it some time. Issues are always negative (isn't it? and it is implicit unless you gain from it). Did I ask you to state social issues in a cheerful manner? Nope.
I only asked you to reduce gloomy posts. :-|

It is a tougher game to make someone smile than weep. One of your 55ers that I recollect off the top of my head is the Fiat ad influenced one. That WAS good and not pathos.

Keep up your neat work. You are creative and I would like to see cheery stuff from you as well and not remember you as one who always wallows in pathos. :-) [[Hopefully you won't come and hit me]]

Shruti said...

>>Rammm
Well I won't hit u! But u are right! I ll not make people cry :P

The Aspirant said...

well, again sumthing abt social world.....its so beautiful presented by you...
really, i can't understand hw cn a child does such a thing wid deir parents'....really sad..:(

Shruti said...

>>TA
They don't dare to do it! This is the reality!

Unknown said...

Unexpected ending as usual… but also a sad one this time…

Old age is the time during which they crave for our time… but ppl always think the otherwise…
