A Makeover

Words 100

In her heydays, there were long queues. They would come in one by one, voice their worries, and on occasion, go off into peals of laughter.

With time, the queues had dwindled until there were none.  Inside too, there was nothing but dusty corners. In a limbo, the days, months, weeks, rolled into one.

A thunderstorm.  With a crash, a glass shattered.

One spring morn, sprouting between the cracks β€” tiny purple blooms.  The egg that the pigeon had nurtured with such care, hatched.

The squab flapped its wings, flying over hills and vales, carrying the scent of her myriad tales.

Thank you for visiting. For anyone interested, Chapter 3 of Some Sugar & Spice is up.

  4. Best use of the redundant the phone booth. Instead of putrid smell ,it smells of spring flowers and cooing of pegeon raising young ones. Loved the Makeover,Dahlia.
