Umm something stories something
I am still deciding what should I write here.
Jump
He opened the trunk of his car and looked at her, feeling a sense of guilt he had never experienced before. This time was different; he had felt a connection with her. But alas, she had to go. He picked her up. She was heavy, and he felt that heaviness deep in his soul. He walked to the edge of the railing and peered into the darkness of the valley below. Then he pushed her body off the edge. After three seconds, he heard a splash. A strange relief washed over him. The heaviness in his soul vanished. His clock had restarted.
Rolling in the Deep
After finishing his book, he threw it out the window. It landed neatly in the trash can, exactly where it belonged. It was his guilty pleasure, reading trashy romance stories. Every time he finished one, he felt disgusted, as if his self-respect had been stripped away. Yet he couldn’t stop. He needed those stories to keep himself sane. Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and pressed “Buy” on another story that would only leave him feeling more worthless.
Shootout
Bang. Bang. Reo watched the policeman fall. He had done the unthinkable, he had shot a policeman. That meant life imprisonment. His mind raced. He could run, but he would spend his life on the run. Or he could surrender and face the consequences. He had to decide quickly. He raised the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. Bang.
No Worries
Ramesh was eating aloo gobi sabji and roti that he had prepared for himself when he heard screams coming from the lobby. Slowly, he got up to check. There, he saw his neighbor Ravish being dragged away by two masked men. For a brief moment, their eyes met. Then Ramesh quietly stepped back inside and shut his door. He had read in his horoscope that getting involved in other people’s problems could backfire. So he returned to his lunch and his peaceful afternoon.
Broke
Rachel had nothing left. All her money was gone. She was broke. Just a few months earlier, she had won a $10 million lottery and invested every dollar of it. She never imagined that the global financial system would collapse and wipe out her investments entirely. Now she was panicking. The moral of the story is simple: sometimes it is better to enjoy the present than to spend all your time worrying about the future.
