Another short story.
Stone
"Why stone?" asked the girl.
"I was alive once," said the gargoyle.
"I too laughed, played, danced, loved...
"And lost.
"It hurt. I cried. The pain was unbearable.
"So I turned into stone. Stone feels no pain."
The girl looked at the gargoyle silently. Then she walked away.
The gargoyle didn't.The End

Hey the stories are good. So, you completed the TAG work successfully.
hey loved the hare and tortoise story ...some things are inevitable i guess...;-)

Aah...so simple yet poignant :)
Kiran Mayee: Thanks. But completed? :) I'll take that as a sign that you want me to stop :)
Gayathri: Thank you :) I tried writing a version of the Hare and the Tortoise long ago where the Hare wins. That one wasn't as much fun :)
The Arbit Council: Thanks!
Kumari: Poignant! Now that's what the title of this post should have been! Well... too late now. :)
Well, 5 Tags are done, but, if you are having some more ideas in your mind, we are there to read them and voice our opinions :-)
Actually, your stories gave/give me relief from the hectic work schedule. Posting this from India at this hour, just imagine :-)
Kiran Mayee: Thanks :) I've stopped at 6 for now, but will definitely post more if I come up with any. Glad to have made a difference in your day. :)
