Pass it on

She ran her hands over his face, his hair, tears streaming down her face all the while...


Consumerdemon suggested(quite a while ago) that we have a story tag, where one blogger starts a story and others are free to take it on and complete it, or add a few more lines and pass on the tag in their own blogs. So if you are interested, take this tag, write some more in your blog and leave me a comment here. I will update the links in this post.

It will be really nice to see what different imaginations can create...

Magical Elements (in 55 words)

The Air I breathe
brews inside me
into a passionate storm.

The Waters of the ocean
evoke in me
a deep silent longing.

Earth, the eternal charmer,
She beckons me
to her far corners.

Someday I will fly
and become Queen
of the unconquered Sky

The Fire burns-
I live.
I live-
The Fire burns.

Sun's rays were creeping in, rapidly turning night to day. Behind him the stars shone brighter than ever while before him the sun was making its grand entry. Fate was beckoning to him with a glint in her eyes. The enormity of the moment made him feel small, alone and insignificant, all at once. There was no choice, there never had been. There was no changing destiny, no challenging Fate, no last laugh. But this journey itself had been inevitable. Smiling to himself, he began his slow descent from the cliff, clutching Life tighter with every step.

Their eyes met. He was rooted to the spot, a few feet away. They were locked in a virtual embrace, while parallel worlds moved on. Odes recited, promises exchanged, unsaid words, a tiny flutter…she smiled, he raised a hand to his heart…The light turned green, she turned left, he turned right. A deep calm prevailed...

PS: I would have thought a story in 55 words next to impossible. Kudos to whoever started the tag!
