Crimson’s Creative Challenge #96
Childhood dream
to own a cozy cottage
painted white
with the red-tiled roof
Surrounded by the trees
remains unfulfilled
as I bargained for
the security and safety
my tiny flat provides

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 50
Tough challenge this time.
Freedom is when you are not compelled to laugh or applaud the silly joke told by the powerful or successful or…people or your boss.

A Fortune Teller is sitting with his caged parrot, waiting for the people to come and know their fate.
Whenever someone comes he opens the door, parrot comes out, selects a card, gives it to him and goes inside the cage.
Even if the door is open it never tries to fly away, whats more it closes it itself.
Was it for food, security or it has become habituated to living alone, loving the captivity.
Freedom is dangerous and risky perhaps all pets think. Bondage has its own comfort, security, and convenience once you become accustomed to it.

Five Sentence Fiction – Freedom
Five Sentence Fiction – Freedom
FREEDOM
My dog was 15 days old when brought as a pet, kept with great care and love; still, he longed to go outside and play with the street dogs and envied them for their freedom.
When he was one year old, in his quest for freedom he escaped one day and ran outside to play with other dogs but as soon as the peck of stray dogs saw him they chased him barking fiercely, scared he ran like hell and hid in the nearby forest where his foot got entrapped in a thin wire animal trap.
Thankfully dogs did not chase him in the forest; he was very much scared, hungry, and longing for his owner’s care and love.
Somehow he managed to free himself and ran for his house where he was scolded by worried owners but given a bath, food, love, and a soft bed to sleep.
Freedom is dangerous and risky he thought, bondage has its own comfort, security, and convenience once you become accustomed to it.
