   That was good.

   But in reality, this reflects the current sad state of affairs.

   Pity.

   Quite touching story. I think that was the best 55 fiction I ever came across.

   Nice societal 55 fiction Mani Padma. Mr. Lakshmirajan, I think 55 fiction is more contagious than swine flu

    I liked this story, i think it resembles the style of stories from ‘Malgudi Days’, where sometimes man’s helplessness is highlighted or good fate…..

    This is one of the best 55 word fiction story that I have come across lately. It is remarkable how so few words can convey an array of emotions and thoughts, great one

      Hey Tikuli! Thanks for digging this out and liking it. Yes, this one is my favourite too. It was my first attempt at 55 fiction following which I wrote a few more, but honestly speaking I haven’t been able to match this both in sincerety and simplicity

    I could just see the 55 words happen with my open eyes. Wonderful.
    Fiction 55 is an interesting blog format.
