He picked it up, his curious eyes gleaming with happiness
His tiny hands have found a treasure to keep
He tucked the one-eyed-tattered teddy under his left arm
And went about picking up the rags from the usual garbage bin,
But now with a smile and a frequent look at his new found friend.

She looked at the stranger staring at her in the mirror Her fingers ran down her cheeks reaching her bruised lip She found a lone tear making its way through She quickly brushed it aside before the world could see it And got ready faking a smile on her lips to face the cruel world.

These are three 55 fictions for the theme ‘Tragedy’. The first one was a real incident that I saw at ECR, Chennai. My heart grew heavy seeing the joy on the little one’s face when he held the tattered doll. I wished with all my heart that every kid could get the little little joys of his childhood that he/she deserved. Second and third ones are left to your interpretation as they are also based on real incidents.
