heart 150x150 Papa A 55F

The thief tried to escape, but the guard was stronger.

The guard overpowered and threw him to the ground.

The packet dropped open, spilling out- A baby’s dress, doll, rattle and baby food.

He froze… remembering his own baby.

Silently he let the man go.

They shared an inexplicable bond. The bond of parenthood.

      Did you have to use the ‘stealing’ angle?

          Well, I am in the middle of moving back to my home :announce: . Change of work place, exit process, packing and moving… today’s my last full day at my current work place. So I got some free time. ;-)

          It will take some more time before I can actually start putting down serious articles… for now, its more ‘casual’ blogging on ‘my’ blog.

          :heh:

    Would try writing a 55 word story next time… though it seems difficult…like an adv conveying message in 10-20 secs…
