Tragedy: Under 100 words

Wednesday, February 3, 2010



The knife is sinking in her chest like she is made of butter.

It’s not so warm now.

Mrs. Patel,

Your child has already been adopted.

And she wouldn’t let me touch her before marriage.

Splash

I wipe the blood off the date-stamp.

Feb,1976

What? Wait a second!

The clock ticks away.
