Very Short Story (VSS) 06

  

Jump. Don’t hesitate now. Just end it.

My heart is beating fast. Faster than even the time when I first saw her.

Love filled my heart when I saw her but I knew she could never be mine.

But then we got to know each other and she was so nice to me. I am so sure she loves me. I definitely love her.

But then I told her and things changed. She left. Never again did i see her.

If only I could jump. Wheel chair bound for life - I can't even jump.

Sigh …

This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
