The little Priya

"Hello Aunty, How have you been?" inquired a young girl with neat braids, and wearing an elegant dress.

 Her smile was infectious, and her eyes sparkled with the inquiry.

Mrs. Gupta was taken aback and had a frown, 'Who is this girl? Have I met her before?'

The girl was quick to introduce herself, "I am Priya. Your next-door neighbor." 

"Oh my! look at you. I remember you as a child who would throw tantrums and things at people passing by." Then with a broad smile, "Today, you've blossomed like a rose and are emitting such a beautiful fragrance."

In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that includes the word blossom. You can use the word as a noun or a verb, or even as a name. How does it fit into your story? Go where the prompt leads!

Wordless Wednesday #31

Alex and Angelo are here!

These characters got a life in my then toddler's crib and now it is finally a published book.

My publisher sent it to Clarion for a Review and it fared well.

Mantra for today: Dreams do come true!

The Long Winding Road

The clock strikes 5pm. Lenard cleans up the mess and brings down the shutters of his shop, and starts to walk home.

Comes to a halt when he reaches a bifurcation, stares at that road with the hope to get a glimpse of her.

He longs for her and wishes that this were just a dream where he is away from his love since he has cried for her company.

The journey so far has been long and tedious without her presence since her smiles still haunt him, as he stands alone in a long winding road of life.
