Hoping for a miracle, she dialled his number from the red phone booth in that cosy corner. As it started ringing, Miriam watched as the sun rose slowly over the horizon, bathing the trees, nestled together.
In Sydney, he paused as the phone rang. Shrugging, he mounted his bike and rode out of her life.

You know it takes skill to write micro fiction and with three picture prompts to be combined in one, it takes three times the smartness….great work, Shailaja 🙂
That’s so wonderful to hear, Kajal. Thank you!
Oh, how sad for her. I hope someone better comes along for her, even if that someone is the ideal of getting to know and love herself better.
Shailaja , girl , you are riding on the crest. What a lovely piece of writing and thanks for letting us know about this challenge.
brilliant weave of words…
Thank you very much 🙂 Welcome to my blog! 🙂
Short yet powerful…Moving on and being held by the shackles of the heart!
Isn’t it, though? I hope she moves on!
Shailaja, Yet another 55 worded magic on paper with nature, emotion, heartbreak. It is really difficult to paint a picture with only that much and you continue to churn out them one after another. Hope Miriam has found solace in something else :-).
Thank you for your kind words, Jayanta 🙂 For her sake, I hope Miriam has moved on 🙂
when relationships end without closure, it can be the most difficult thing…beautifully written
Absolutely. Thanks for reading <3
It’s always painful to move away like that. Very well captured though it broke the heart.
True, Vishal. That lack of closure must be heartbreaking…
My heart went out for her… poor her
🙁
Nicely woven around the pictures though 🙂
Yes, that last glimmer died out too…
I loved this and it made me say “ouch”!!
Thank you <3
Superb! wonderfully woven the pictures into a 55-er. Bravo!
Thanks Uma! I am sure you’lll do great at this one. Try it out 🙂
breakups are tough… specially one is ready to move on and other is not. Beautifully written
Thank you Rajlakshmi 🙂
