The Shadow of your smile



“Yes she loves me”. Sameer couldn’t believe it was real. Shikha had finally confessed her love for him.

And here they were on their first date. Giving them company was “Hamara Bajaj” and a soft drizzle.

Shikha, sitting on the back seat of the scooter, had accelerated her dream engine and was already time travelling to “lived happily ever after” tomorrows.

She saw the rear glass, and caught Sameer’s eyes. That look and the endearing smile told a million tales.

Vrroommm… came the crash and she was robbed of everything, but the shadow of his smile, to haunt her forever.

This is in response to the below prompt:

  2. That was tragic. Teaches you to look on the roads when you are driving :P
    But seriously, I loved the way you have combined a lot of words, giving away so much yet leaving us to imagine and fill the gaps..Lovely!

  6. That made my hair stand on edge - the person I wrote about in my post for the prompt, died in a motorbike crash. I remember the shadow of his smile. Thanks for writing on my prompt.

  7. You managed that in 100 words! I am amazed. I am always looking out for drabbles (100 word stories) they always surprise me in terms of concepts. This one too did the same. I cannot believe someone can relate shadow of a smile to this. What a take on prompt woman!
