For the uninitiated, I have taken to writing short stories. Really short ones. 55 words or less. All thanks to Vivek (@vivekisms) from Twitter who runs a #55wordstory hashtag every 1-2 days.

Do check out the archives and go through the stories. Love, lust, chappals, tomatoes, eggs (poached) and pink chuddies welcome :)

#55wordstory - Boxes


Theme for October 3rd was 'Boxes.'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pain. Happiness. Guilt. Empathy. Greed. Kindness. Love. Lust. Calm. Wrath.

Neatly labeled boxes lined the front of his store.
He was the only vendor of his kind.
Every day he would set up shop for a couple of hours.


“Hi, my name is Time, what would YOU like to buy today dear Sir?”
