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 for long, except all-rounder Ramu, who swallowed his pride as she paid handsomely, 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 hoarse singing.
Ramu saw his chance.
After completing his job, he patted it apologetically.
He said, ” Goodby synthesizer, and I’m sorry for you, but it is your salvation too.”, and left the house forever.
