The wounds will heal- A 55 fiction.


The Snap-






The fiction- 



“Hold still.”
“Hmhm.”


“I will be done in a minute.”
“Hmhm.”


“It will take a couple of days. But it will heal.”
“Hmhm.”


“Try not to strain yourself until the wounds heal.”
“Hmhm”


And just after he bandaged her, he stammered “I….. am sorry”
Silence fell hard, for once harder than his thrashes.




Author's Note-

When people read my post - Two minutes- A short story, I was asked whether the fiction was about domestic violence. While answering back to those comments, I was inspired to write a shot fiction about the same topic. I wanted the story to be brutal, realistic and hard hitting. Hope you guys like it.


ps-

I am experimenting with my blog's appearance, so guys I would like to have your comments on the topic. Thank you.

  1. That is SO lovely and heart wrenching. What women undergo in the name of love.

    yeah. I am kind a always biased towards creating stories that surprise you in the end -- in some way.
