Bird
They spotted it one morning. Lying on its back with feet up in the air. As if riding a bicycle upside down.
'Is it sleeping, ma?'
'I don't think so'
She did not know if her son understood what death meant. She did not wish to lie to him. Nor did she want to tell him about god, heaven, hell and after life because she was not sure where she stood on such issues.
'I think the bird is dead'
The little boy nodded as if he knew.
Is this you :-).
ReplyDeleteAnyways, nice new layout.
Nice post.
ReplyDeleteKids now-a-days know more that what we think they know!
P.S:
The present color scheme looks a bit too bright and distracting. Will be nice if it is toned down a little.
Your style of writing is good.
