Blogging from A to Z April Challenge
F is the letter of the day.
Frantic calls for help by the fisherman drew a huge crowd at the beach where Shiva was brought out of the sea. He was thankful for the water which camouflaged his tears; his anguish was mistaken for his reaction to the near-drowning. Maybe he was cursed to suffer throughout his life for abandoning his love.

Getting better and better…curiouser too.
Wow there is a subtle thread of purity and humanity in your tales Sulekha… I love it !
Random Thoughts Naba
You have expressed the feeling in exact 55 words quite wonderfully! Good one!
Ahh the regret of not being with loved one… Waiting for more.
🙂 I am feeling sorry for him!
To suffer and realize is to atone, in a way.
🙂 Eager to read more, Sulekha!
That is just beautiful, Sulekha. How effectively you portray the mistaken anguish.

This was beautifully written and so vivid. I could walk in his shoes for a bit. Very nice.
Short and sweet. You write so beautifully, Sulekha…. 🙂
Interesting approach – a 55 word capsule within a wider story. Both beautifully executed 🙂 Where will it end, I wonder. Probably at Z!

You've been building up the story beautifully so far! Looking forward to further instalments.
A great job on the plot!
So he had abandoned his love and hence the reason? I love how you have connected it with 55 words all.

Nice post! I'm left hanging, though, 'cause I want to read more. may I ask the significance of the number 55 to you?
Great job with this– to tell an entire story in such few lines is truly a challenge,which you've taken so well!
interesting reading short pieces together and thankfully not the saas bahu types
