After a weekend and a day full of catching up with work, here is another short short.
Hitman
"Twelve," he thought, as he wiped the blade on the body.
They called him a hitman. He called himself a messenger.
"One murder or a dozen, there is only one Hell," he thought to himself as he dragged the body into a bush.
The Devil stood nearby, watching. He smiled.The End

why'd he call himself a messenger tho?
@ the arbit council: Messenger who delivers death?
I get subtlety on the rarest of occassions. Im glad i did this time round. :)
Aesop Revisted was priceless btw.
Now I feel embarassed about the drivel I just dished out on my blog. Oh well, at least i had fun.
Hey this is great. Looks like its time to start some serious writing
The Arbit Council: As Jasmine said, I was thinking "Messenger of Death" :)
Jasmine: Thanks!
Archster: I'm glad you did too :) And nice to know you liked Aesop Revisited :) It's my favourite too :)
And your stories are good. Really good. I have no idea what drivel you're talking about :)
Kiran Mayee: True :)
Jonathan: My pleasure :)

You are really getting good at this 55word story thing!! I can see the progression from teh first to the most recent!! :D
Great blog ur have Btw!
Interesting.......are you thinking Codename 47? I know I am......
But how can he ever think there would be just one hell? Esp. since he just created another hell on earth for the near and dear of the dead :)
Eshus me... i do like the story but i am in one of my 'gyaan-spreading' moods :D
Morbid
Dark
Sullen
Pathological

Whoa! Back after a week and I see a whole lot of posts! Needless to say, everythingz nice. This one's chilling, though.
Awaiting eagerly for more of 55s...
The Devil stood nearby, watching. He smiled.
Now, this is what I loved the most! There is so much into it...
I see you are on a roll here!
Good stuff, Rajesh! maybe you would want to look into a genre called "Flash fiction"?
Look-up Raymond Carver and Bob Thurber.
