Her late transatlantic flight exhausted her, but she was excited to be here finally.

Everything was new. Everyone friendly, even the cab driver taking her to her hotel.

She relaxed.  Pleased.

Suddenly, the car stopped.

It was Dark outside!
And then Darkness descended in her life!
Alas! A DARK day for the host country.

This  55 fiction format story is written by Mani Padma.

    seems to be based on some recent event/happening?

    she met with an accident if i am taking it right

    nice post

    ?? What happened??

    Ok guys, I admit I didnt do quite a right job but at least I thought it was transparent enough. And Chetan, I had n idea that u r a sweet person but seems u r equally innocent.
    Of course it wasnt n accident.Yes rocksea , it is based on a true incident. happens-everywhere.So what happened exactly? Wel let me have ur guesses. Let me see if n e one can think as twistdly as me(not a great issue,I know,jus a curiosity) should i announce a prize too? Kidding. :-)

      She was raped !! You are terrific Mani !

      Well , i think the plot was quiet neatly presented , if you make it more obvious , it won’t be called a story but a news .. so in that context , i feel the story is powerfull and well written ..

    You have an art of keeping readers guessing !!!

  6. chetan on September 30, 2009 at 7:12 pm

    you are right , i should have guessed when car was stopped, and not crashed.
    i now think that, it’s brilliantly written, making the best use of 55 words,
    and THANKS for calling me a sweet person

    I hope that you will write more of this type

    i feel responses to 55 fiction should be in 5 words….the story presented is ‘thriller, eye opener, topical, realistic’

  8. mani padma on October 1, 2009 at 1:03 pm

    You got it Bang on Mandeep. Thanks Rajan, Chetan. I will try my best but I just hope my fate doesn’t turn into that of RGV. ( no offense meant). Wow Sharat! Nice idea 5 for 55! great idea. Have to discuss with chief Rajan.

    Nice one Mani.. Chetan is innocent indeed :)
    Anyway, coming back 2 topic, it is really disgusting tht sch incidents happen!
