55 Word Story - Theme - Job/Work

A beautiful morning, a clear blue sky, and this peaceful silence is pierced with the sunlight, revealing on ground the shadows of birds high up in the air. 

I notice a line of thin Stratus as I roll gently through the taxiway. 

Holding short of the runway, I think, 

“I have the best job ever”.

Interruption - Another Tag - 11 things - And I'm not complaining :D

Tagged by the lovely KofyKat from KofyKat and cannot wait to do this one. Basically all you've gotta do is put down 11 things about yourself and then answer 11 questions by the person who tagged you.
 So here I go:

1. I am addicted to cleaning my ears too often. Not a good thing. 
2. I am a complete Emotional Eater. I tend to resort to food when I am upset. Much like Po, the KungFu Panda.
3. I really wanna open up a small bakery someday!
4. I sometimes trust people too easily. Very gullible. Again, not a good thing.
5. Which is why I try to avoid conversation with people altogether! 
6. Getting my nails done myself has been the latest obsession.
7. I have watched the movie "Despicable Me" thrice in the last 2 days.
8. If I ever get to know that someone lied to me, then that pretty much seals the deal. I will never be able to view that person with the same respect ever again.
9. Even when I cook and bake so much, I think Chocolate is overrated.
10. I secretly collect bridal magazines.
11. You can never have too much Pani Puri.

55 Word Story - Theme - Water

 

The road was empty, and she stood with tightly tied shoelaces and music in her ears. 

She began to run, away from everyone and everything.

Her earphones fell off. She didn’t bother. 

She stopped by a lake. 

The cold fluidity encompassed her as she splashed herself in the water. 

“This is what I really need.”

55 Word Story - Theme - Gods and Demons.

She walked in with an invisible Halo. And he sat with that mean, yet charmingly rugged poise. 

“But, this is not the right thing to do! God would punish us.” 

“Come on baby, just relax.” He said, sniffing another line of Cocaine.

Her innocent eyes met his demonic smile.  

He is now going through Rehab.

55 Word Story - Theme - Apples

The day he first saw her on webcam, from thousands of miles away, she was wearing a bright green dress. Her cheeks, though, were turning Red. 

“You look like a Green Apple!” he said. 

And there was no looking back. She still thinks of him every time she bakes an Apple Pie in her oven.

55 Word Story - Theme - Party

“Hey, what plans?”

 “Just at a party.” 

“And you didn’t call me?”

 “It’s private.” 

“Whatever!” 

She hung up, angrily rushed home only to find him lying on the couch watching the match.

 “GOAL!!! Now THIS is what I call a party! Also, could you grab me another beer?”

 “Ughh! Men!”

 she got him chips too.

55 Word Story - Theme - Monsoon

The best part about Monsoons is that dull weather, a continuous shower, you sitting by the window and enjoying a hot Cuppa.  Just one phone call, and you’re up on the terrace, standing in the darkness, drenched, and the raindrops mask your tears effortlessly. He did it again. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Smirk.

55 Word Story - Theme - Language

It started with an awkward handshake. Table for two at a quaint coffee shop. I knew he was looking at me all along, but when I looked at him, he looked away blushingly. I couldn’t help but arrange and re-arrange my cutlery. Playing with my hair. Not a word spoken. Body Language at its best.
