190. Wait

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 36; the thirty-fifth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is "and then there were none"

Every time he came home, crowds came home.
Proud. Jubilant.
Everybody enjoyed the connection.

One day, he died. On the battlefield.
They came in large numbers. Officials, Reporters, Cameramen, Politicians.
They spoke about bravery, about legacy, about patriotism.

And then there were none. Nowhere. Never.

She waits in agony. For end of one more life.

    You really make it seеm so easy ωіth youг prеѕentation but I find this matter to be really
    sоmething that Ι thіnk ӏ woulԁ never understand.
    It seems too comρlex and νery broаd for me.
    I аm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

    Very curt and sleek. Each word is well thought and weighed in before encryption. True it is the life's way.

      Thanks Ayushi for your nice words and also for the nomination.
      However, I won't be able to carry on the message of "Liebster Award".

    Any reader would be struck by the profound truth that you've spoken off in six brief phrases. What was the inspiration behind this take on the subject?

      Richi, I have seen these things happening around. Was always feeling unhappy about it. We are sometimes a shallow society ..!!
