127th Challenge
Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers
This week's photo prompt is provided by Dorothy. Thank you Dorothy!
The flashes created a spool of memories too painful for him
to speak out. The
psychiatrist prodded him to open up gingerly taking care of
his still raw wounds.
It was a quotidian affair for Aditya and his younger sibling
to ride on the tandem bike
deep into the woods. They enjoyed the verdant quiet surroundings
and indulged in
persiflage. They bonded over mundane matters as well as matters
of the heart. The
younger sibling just stepped into the threshold of teen-hood.
The leaves changed colour,
sunshine melted away and the brothers pledged to
keep this bonding till the autumn of
their lives.
The terrain was rough and so was the time. Aditya came back riding
minus his sibling. His
wails reverberated through the woods.
Would Aditya be able to swim to the shore and absolve himself
from the guilt of
helplessness of the accidental drowning of his sibling or
would he torment himself for
life? Time will the healing factor as the medical
world elucidated or will Aditya learn to
survive with the pain?
