Beyond Words.....: Mistress Of The Night..

Mistress Of The Night..

She lies cocooned in my embrace, her body aglow and flushed after our lovemaking, her hair a wonderful tangle of messy curls caressing her cheek. Her face dazzles with happiness and my heart is filled with love, overwhelming and overpowering in its intensity. The world and its problems seem a distant memory while I gaze for countless moments at her beautiful face, so peaceful in sleep and then get up to leave.

As I drive through the silent night back to my wife, I pat the divorce papers that sit heavy in my pocket knowing in my heart that today I must end this farce for both our sakes. But as Sudha opens the door my courage fails me while my heart quietly whispers, ‘Tomorrow, I shall tell her tomorrow...’

Written as part of the Five Sentence Fiction prompt.

He is not the MAN but a poor slave of his lust and conveniences.

That's quite a fiction there. In mere 5 sentences you've manged to reveal so much about an unstable heart. I pity his wife

Nicely put, but not a man worth any praise.

Some relationships are like this: unable to end, pointless to go on!

My Goodreads Reviews!!

Life is What You Make It by Preeti Shenoy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Life Is What You Make It really does throw you off the track in the beginning and begins as a really predictable young adult romance. Yet what you never expect is the sudden turn of events and a plunge into the emotional turmoil of a 21 year old afflicted with Bipolar Disorder. The story is elegantly crafted; it is about facing life and emerging strong and proud. It is about having the guts to follow your dreams and believing your worth. The story however does border on mundane at times. Indian authors could really try coming up with better and stronger plots that explore the social psyche prevalent in the nation. A conservative family,parents obsessed with academic excellence,a bright young student fallen from grace- the ingredients are all there but somehow the build up lacks structure. And the plots of most Indian writers are really starting to look way too similar. There are better stories out there and a delicate and unique handling of the issues plaguing the Indian youth with stronger characters and sound plots could work wonders towards revolutionizing the current writing scenario and providing the readers with food for thought.
