Ammani’s Virus
Quick Tale #1
The Signal.
He stood there in the blazing sun, willing the light to turn green impatient, fearful, revving the bike up as she sat behind him hanging on nervously, not knowing what would happen. The light turns green, he rushes forward, unknowing that the city buses are colour blind, especially of the colour red. In a bloody instant it’s over.
They who were afraid of their father’s death, are now dead.
Ammani, does this match up?

Touchy one.. and portrays the realistic picture of the Indian traffic…When i was in India last november, I remember reading a newspaper article about a similar accident. Unfortunately the girl died and their marriage was just a week before.

The last line’s a killer (a rather unfortunate choice of word, I know).

That is very poignant.
Make something mirthful, a la a plum-lover!
