The Snap-
The fiction-
His deliverance- (the blue story)
“Go on…” she nodded.
A few shadows turned back shocked at the dry nonchalance
pouting from her voice.
He left. Not once did he turn back.
Perhaps guilt finally saved him from her burning eyes.
Tears poured along her remaining tatters but then she was
not going to build her family on another one destroyed.
The snap-
The tail/tale of the giant asshole- (the green story)
“Go on…” she nodded.
“That’s it” He retorted.
She sighed. Men can be giant assholes at times. Perhaps they
are all the time. It just misses getting noticed.
“No” she calmly replied. “There could have been more but
then, didn’t we just find out you have a wife. Now get lost. I am nobody’s substitute.”
The snap-
Cookie jar delicacies- (the red story)
“Go on…” she nodded.
A kid caught with his hand stuck in the cookie jar. He
blinked at her and his wife standing at her doorway.
“What’s happening?” His voice wavered slightly.
“Oh, I called her. Nothing personal. It’s just that” She
paused. “I hate it when men play women for fools.”
Some time back, I wrote a similar set of 55 fictions, with the same starting theme but ending in different ways. I tried the same with the idea to write responses of women on finding out that the guy they were seriously dating was already married. I wanted 3 of them, so that they will each represent different reactions based on primary colors, hence the name of the title. I wanted the endings to be bitter sweet, not a totally morbid one.

good that you had bitter sweet endings, as I dont like morbid ones..
@renu-
Yeah, I too don't really prefer morbid endings. I think when women are protagonists honest endings work well. (honest to the lead character in the story) work well. Don't you think so??
Awesome way putting out the angels in limited words!! Rocks !!!
