Jealousy

This is hard to stop.

Run

Sally won the gold medal for the 100-metre sprint for two years straight. The third year she came second by a hair's width.

That evening they found the winner's dead body in a dumpster. They caught Sally when her motorcycle fell and the bloody knife fell out.

She could run, but she couldn't ride.

The End

Hmm after a long time, came to read your entry on the day of posting, but too bad that I was not the first :-(

Anyway, this story of your shows the professional jealousies and the slefishness that is increasing in people.

Dark humour :)

Devdutt: Nice to see you liked it :)

Kiran Mayee: I just wrote it for the punchline :) But thanks!

Kumari: Will that be with or without cheese? ;) Okay, bad joke. Alright, very bad joke. :D

Words Worth said...

done. and it's all your fault. since you insisted on inflicting this upon me, you will come over and read them.

hey, i have a great idea. you should write 55 stories of less than 55 words each. how cool would that be!

You do....and well too. Amazing how you can take a story and distill it to get its very essence.....
Amazing work,
Keep it up(and beleive me, IT is almost in orbit right now).

Hello. Just to tell you that I enjoyed all of the stories. I'm supposed to be doing this tag, too, but I don't think mine will be as good as yours. :(

I just read your post on sulekha. 'Rants of a Single Guy.' Just as all the people there commented...So VERY funny!

But more so for me I think, cause I have a best friend just like that. Except of course that it is I who is the sweet and dependable confess all your lou failure stories to me type person. *sigh*

And ooh your 55 words of fiction was nice as well. Morbid. But still funny. How does one do that?

Aditya Bidikar said...

Funny. Very funny.

Words Worth: I did! And they were great! The 55 stories idea is really cool, but I don't know if I can write so many!

Karthik: Thanks :) Of course, the whole story was written for that ending :)

Maru Marauder: Distillation is right. Your description is perfect. :) Thanks a lot for your words!

Jasmine: You're being too hard on yourself. Your stories were really nice! And thanks for the praise!

Hemlyn: Thankoo :) Yes, The clouds tend to increase one's appetite for corn :) I have this incredible urge to be on Juhu Beach chewing on some right now :D
Of course, credit for teaching me the whole write a story for its corny ending thing, should be given to Isaac Asimov. He's written a lot of amazing stories of that sort :)

Archster: So you're the shoulder, eh? :)
Thanks for the words about my writing! I guess the 'morbid' bit is probably because I find it difficult to work up to a happy ending in less than 55 words :)

Aditya Bidikar: Thank you! Glad you think so :)

Ad astra per aspera: I'll be looking forward to reading your stories :) And thanks for the words!

Gr_Ra: Inspired or not, at least I'm writing! It helps keep off the writer's block :)

Prer: Thank you! Will definitely try to keep writing :)
