The Happy Host

The old lady had a small apartment in an old building in the outskirts of the city.

Though she was poor, she had a big heart, was amusing and entertained guests happily.

Everyone called her the 'Happy Host'.

I, a banker, spent my free hours at the cemetery.

What's true for me is also true for you & everyone?
When we "see" everything, do we pay attention?

The world has many sights thanks to many souls.
Doers, onlookers, lawyers, judges- we play many roles.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Our attitudes, sights, beliefs dictate our interpretation.

Empowered

“Where did they go?” wondered the detectives when they reached the ruins where the four missing young men had reportedly gone with an elegant lady.

It was enigmatic that they just found a lipstick and some empty packets there, but no trace of the young men or the lady.

Earlier, the young men had felt empowered when they picked that well-endowed easy target whom they planned to entice with drugs at the ruins.

Daring Defiance

“The team employed the use of Nightshade to get the information they wanted from their captive.” 

Still, the captive was defiant; wouldn’t divulge any details despite being subject to third-degree torture.

When the captive, addicted to his nation, learned that the terrorists were planning to bomb that heaven on earth, he decided to foil their deadly plans.

Dream Or Reality?

Selected as a WOW post here.

When I asked the reason why the old man sitting on a park bench was sobbing uncontrollably, he said he had lost his diary and his bubbles... 

Assuring him that I would find his diary and his bubbles for him, I journeyed resolutely, arrived near a comfortable blue sofa and when I sat on it, I noticed it had a diary that looked ancient.

The Face Of The Race

As they clapped their hands in super-glee,
Their masks fell off and they looked ugly.

They were witnessing a rat-race happily,
Where contestants were matched unequally.

There was such a mix- short, tall, thin, burly-
Any sane person could see what I saw easily.
