The Chaos- Horror – 50 word fiction

The chaos

He stood there in the winter chill wrapping his jacket closer. Lajpatnagar was abuzz with festivals ahead, women bargaining and children running behind fireworks.

He looked around one last time and flung open his jacket. Crowd stood in horror as he pressed the detonator leaving behind painful and terrorizing sight.

” Shashank, how was the last 55 word fiction” ….pause….think….roll eyes…pause…deep breath….”ok never mind” I said. Read Shashank’s crisp and strong take on Bibhatsam here.

Bhayanakam represent horror and terror as navras 6. A difficult emotion as when a person is terrorised may not be in a state to ever narrate it exactly the way she felt then.

I have also clubbed a prompt each day’s prompt of 50 words “Winter”

Disgust – 55 word fiction

Disgust

He stood unashamed holding her hand, a man Ananya most loved and a woman she trusted.

Her past 10 years came crumbling down as he just pulled a card from her house of cards.

Heart filled with distrust, deceit and disgust gave her the strength to pick the pen and sign her way to freedom.

Bībhatsam (बीभत्सं) Disgust, Aversion is a very strong emotion. It takes something huge for an individual to be pushed to a point of disgust.

Shashank wrote a very heart melting take on Kaarunya. As I always say he is one of the few fictional writers who can evoke a treasure of emotions with his pen (hope you make up for this one j). I have high hopes on Bibhastam as well.
