Retreat
My spiritual guru’s voice was ringing in my head as I started climbing the stairs.
‘Each step will take you to the eternal light. Don’t look back. Surrender and you will attain enlightenment and salvation’
I thought it easy as I had nothing to lose except this sickly body which has given me nothing but miseries.
I was about to take the plunge when fear of surrendering to unknown grasped me.
Back there was at least a world of known hell of addictive miseries. Whereas here was surrendering to unknown about which I was not sure.
I retreated to my hell.
ESE’ S WEEKLY SHOOT"E CHALLENGE – PLEASURE
That man is richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
— Henry David Thoreau
Things give me pleasure cost nothing, like watching a kite flying is a pleasure in itself.
Watching children playing in the sand at sea beach
Watching sunrise and sunset
Pleasure has its time; so too, has wisdom. Make love in thy youth, and in old age attend to thy salvation.
— Voltaire

Fiction- By Indira- 100 words
She was arrogant, rude, and never thought twice before humiliating servants in front of others.
No servant lasted with her except all-rounder Ramu, who swallowed his pride as she paid generously but now he was also exasperated with her and wanted to quit but not without teaching her a lesson.
So when she ordered him to repair her dear synthesizer, which also had to tolerate her singing in a hoarse voice.
Ramu saw his chance.
After completing his job he patted it apologetically.
He said – ” Goodby synthesizer, and sorry, but it is your salvation too” and left the house forever.
